This little project was literally what one might call a “happy little accident” Making a mini magnolia wreath was not really where I was headed with this one. I was sharing a DIY Wood Block House on a Facebook Live when I realized my original idea for a mini wreath was turning out to be a complete fail. It was the that I was left no choice but to think on my feel with what I had in front of me and boy did it turn out cute! Start with a small piece of floral wire. In my case I recycled some…

I am knees deep in transforming different parts of the homestead into beautiful fall bliss. My mantle is finished and pumpkins are scattered through the living space. Next up on my agenda is the front porch. My porch area, in this home, has always presented itself to be challenging ans sometimes pricey to decorate. For one, I am not in love with the exterior colors of the house, and the budget doesn’t have room for a fresh coat of paint, let alone all-new siding. Soooo, all my worries aside, I plan to do my best to lighten up the space…

I must warn you before you read any further. I am hard core about some fall DIY over here at R+R lately. It truly is my favorite time of year, now through Christmas really. Something just clicks in my brain and I literally can’t turn it off. Every where I look I find inspiration. In a recent trip to the Goodwill I came across a knitted scarf and BOOM it hit me. I decided right then and there I was gonna cover a pumpkin with this cute scarf. It had an old timey, vintage feel and it fit perfectly with…

If you love Halloween decorating like I do then you are sure to love this little Dollar Tree haunted house. It’s simple to make and it turned out oh so cute. Dollar tree projects like this one are perfect for getting the kiddos involved too. I actually had a fun time crafting this dollar tree haunted house with my mom and it was just what the doctor ordered. This would make a cute little addition to a gallery wall or as part of a fun little vignette. I have included a list of supplies. I did not include all of…

So literally last week I came home to a vintage cast iron mantle sitting in my garage. My husband had done some wheeling and dealing via Facebook Marketplace and snagged this beauty for $120!!! I couldn’t believe it…I had a mantle! I had been swooning over perfectly styled, chippy mantles for years just dreaming of the day I would have my own! What we had before wasn’t terrible. It too was a gift from the hubby several years ago. I had seen a few different paint jobs and really I had just migrated away from that style in our living space. When…

If you know me then you know how much I enjoy walking the isles of the dollar store. It’s exciting to see all the amazing goodies you can find for $1. Even if the product itself is a little “meh” I encourage you to think outside the box and imagine it with a fresh coat of paint or re purposed into something completely different! In this case a little spray paint and a coat of laquer was all I needed to transform a cheap looking tray into a beautiful piece of farmhouse fall decor! I chose a white spray paint because…

I seriously can’t believe it time to start thinking about Halloween already! This time of year for us is insanely busy…from birthdays to holidays it stays jam packed! So I get that it may be a bit early for Halloween for some but if I don’t plan ahead it just will not happen. This projects is super fun and made almost entirely of Dollar Tree supplies…even better! Start by adding hot glue to the rim of your terra cotta pot and pressing your Spanish moss to the glue. I really love the eeerie vibe the color of this moss gives…
