    Winter Decor from Amazon

    4:10 AM - By 

    Late­ly, I have been try­ing to embrace the cozi­ness the house can bring dur­ing the frigid Win­ter months. It can get quite dreery and drab out­side and it can most cer­tain­ly drag your mood down, espe­cial­ly after the twin­kle lights of Christ­mas have fad­ed. But lis­ten, just because the weath­er may be yuck and unwel­come, that does­n’t mean you have to feel that way in your home. I am a firm believ­er in sur­round­ing your­self with what makes you feel good and hap­py to be home.  With that being said, I have been on the hunt for sta­ple peices and Ama­zon…

    Winter Decor Ideas for After Christmas

    8:45 PM - By 

    Although it is 60 degrees and I have my win­dows open, win­ter sol­stice has offi­cial­ly arrived here in West­ern Ken­tucky. Lucky for me this year I have focused more on win­ter­ing my decor from the begin­ning of the hol­i­day sea­son. Aside from tak­ing the Christ­mas tree down in a few days there is very lit­tle I will have to do to tran­si­tion the home­stead into a cozy abode this winter. I hope you enjoy gath­er­ing inspi­ra­tion from these spaces like I did bring­ing them togeth­er. Each idea is unique and would be a won­der­ful win­tery addi­tion to your home. I…

    Rustic Winter Mantle Reveal 2019

    2:38 AM - By 

    I have been dream­ing of dec­o­rat­ing this man­tle and fire­place and tonight I am so exci­tied to final­ly be shar­ing it with you! The new home we just moved into has this amaz­ing con­crete stone gas fire­place with a large wood­en man­tle. Even­tu­al­ly I plan to white­wash the stone and bright­en up the entire room but this year I dec­o­rat­ed it as-is and I could­n’t be happier!  The best part of this whole set up is the nice blend of thrift­ed finds and new items that come togeth­er to cre­ate a rus­tic, yet ele­gant and cozy look.  This look all began…

    Cozy Neutral Winter Mantles

    5:27 PM - By 

    Oh my good­ness, I jut absolute­ly LOVE a beau­ti­ful­ly styled man­tle. They are eas­i­ly the focal point of an entire room and deserve to be the cen­ter of atten­tion! Up until just recent­ly (when we closed on our new home) I have not had a man­tle to play with and dec­o­rate. I have spent sooo many hours brows­ing Pin­ter­est for inspi­ra­tion for the beau­ti­ful fea­ture in our new home and of course I thought I would share some of my favorite win­ter styles with y’all. One thing you will notice about this col­lec­tion is all the neu­trals! Neu­trals are my jam…

    Pieces of Me

    4:23 PM - By 

    The Sto­ry of the Patch­work Quilt  So just to paint the scene here, I am writ­ing this in between sips of Sprite and chick­en noo­dle soup all while being wrapped up in an old patch­work quilt I helped my Grannie to make year­rrrs ago. As a kid, I remem­ber my Grannie’s lit­tle sewing room. It was an enclosed front porch area with lots of win­dows. There were nice waist-high cab­i­nets all around, which she nev­er used sim­ply because they were buried under years and years of fab­ric and sewing sup­plies. Instead, she chose to sit in a squeaky old chair at…

    DIY Jumbo Christmas Ornament from an Old Frame

    5:50 PM - By 

    Y’all.… in case you did­n’t already know, I am in full blown Christ­mas mode over here! No I am not dec­o­rat­ing yet but I sure am doing my best to prep and cre­ate decor for my tran­si­tion from tra­di­tion­al reds and greens to a more neu­tral palette.  Chang­ing col­or schemes can be dif­fi­cult and those price tags will start rack­ing up quick! So far I have been mak­ing plen­ty of orna­ments and pick­ing up some here and there at the dol­lar stores around town. How­ev­er, the trou­ble I am run­ning into is that most of all the jum­bo styled orna­ments…

    Easy DIY Stamped Wood Block Ornaments

    2:01 AM - By 

    This is one of those projects that I did­n’t total­ly come togeth­er until the very end. At first, the plain ole wood blocks do not look that impres­sive. I encour­age you to stick this one out until the end. I think you will be present­ly surprised.  I start­ed with these cute lit­tle pre-cut wood blocks I have avail­able in R+R SUPPLY. They are made of pine, and can eas­i­ly be stained or sand­ed. A stamp set, paint, sand­pa­per and some string are all you need to com­plete these lit­tle gems! Start by paint­ing your blocks and allow them to dry. Noth­ing…
