    Thrifty Spring Decor for Your Mantle

    7:18 PM - By 

    Recent­ly, I made a trip to one of my favorite thrift shoppes in town on a mis­sion to gath­er a few bud­get-friend­ly items for my Spring man­tle. I did­n’t want to go all out Easter‑y with bright eggs and bun­nies but did want a taste­ful yet fresh look to my space. After brows­ing the store for about 30 min­utes, which must have been a new record for me, I had a col­lec­tion of vin­tage prints, old bas­kets, books and some faux euclyp­tus stems. I also bought a old chip­py bird­cage and a sofa table, but that’s a whole dif­fer­ent thing.…

    12:30 PM - By 

    I am a suck­er for all things vin­tage. It is my jam. I see rust or chip­py paint and my heart real­ly does flut­ter and to answer your ques­tion, no I don’t think it’s going any­where in the decor world.

    DIY Vent Hood Cover from Scrap Wood

    1:03 PM - By 

    This idea blos­somed when we decid­ed to update our dark and drea­ry kitchen to an authen­tic farm­house kitchen, which you can rad about HERE. I had always want­ed a vent hood cov­er and since this is our for­ev­er home, I decid­ed it was time to take the plunge.…except for one small prob­lem. We had an over­head microwave mount­ed above the stove. There was no vent pipe redi­rect­ing the air, only the microwave and a small set of vents on the top.  I refused to let my dream of hav­ing a beau­ti­ful vent hood cov­er fade. My hus­band and I chewed over…

    2:46 AM - By 

    Tablescapes are becom­ing one of my very favorite things to cre­ate in my home. I real­ly like for them to non-tra­di­tion­al in a way. Like most of my decor, I enjoy shop­ping my own home for items that I can bring togeth­er for a cohe­sive look or theme with­out going out and buy­ing a bunch of new decor. I mean, if it’s alreayd in your home it is like­ly gonna already fit into your over­all theme. In addi­tion to not want­i­ng to spend a ton, I want­ed to cre­ate a tablescape that would wear well for an every day fresh…

    Ok y’all. So I have jumped on the band­wag­on and decid­ed to add just a touch of love to my decor for Valen­tine’s Day. I have not giv­en it much thought in years past but I am real­ly enjoy­ing the chal­lenge of incor­po­rat­ing the “feel” of Valen­tine’s with­out so much of the reds ros­es and pink plas­tic hearts.  I cre­at­ed this look by gath­er­ing a few signs I had in oth­er rooms of my home and brought them togeth­er to cap­ture a cen­tral theme.
