    How to Make a Rustic Embroidery Hoop Wreath

    8:35 PM - By 

    This DIY embroi­dery hoop wreath is the per­fect addi­tion to your rus­tic Christ­mas decor. This project start­ed much like the oth­ers, with a trip to the thrift store! Which if you know me, is my absolute favorite place to shop for sup­plies. I always keep my eye open for wood hoops, wood uten­sils and any oth­er pieces that can be repurposed. When I’m not thrift­ing I am raid­ing the scrap wood pile for sup­plies. That is exact­ly why I cre­at­ed Roost + Restore Sup­ply; to give peo­ple access to the wood you need to make your projects come to life!…

    11:35 AM - By 

    I am up bright and ear­ly on this chilly Octo­ber morn­ing sip­ping my cof­fee in my fuzzy socks and dream­ing of all the beau­ti­ful Christ­mas things. The lights, the orna­ments, the trees, the gifts. Every lit­tle thing about Christ­mas makes me so gid­dy. Typ­i­cal­ly I am a Hal­loween gal, and believe me when I say that both Hal­loween and Thanks­giv­ing deserve their time in the spot­light, but this year I am real­ly fight­ing the urge to jump head first into Christmas.  You see the thing is, I like to think ahead. For weeks now I have been get­ting a plan…

    Budget Friendly DIY Projects to Spruce Up Your Thanksgiving Table

    6:43 AM - By 

    Grow­ing up, Thanks­giv­ing meals were always held at my Grannie’s farm­house here in West­ern Ken­tucky. Most of our fam­i­ly lived with­in a 5 mile radius and we all piled in the mod­est, wood-pan­eled, den and kitchen area. There were so many cousins, aunts and uncles we were quite lit­er­al­ly piled on top of each oth­er. But hon­est­ly, that was how I liked it!

Instead we all split off into our own lit­tle units and haven’t had a meal togeth­er since. But alas, my…

    I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve sift­ed through this box of old hand­writ­ten recipes over the years… each time I learn some­thing new about my her­itage… the woman that left a lega­cy. My great grand­moth­er passed when I was an infant and I have since lost my Grannie. Oh the sto­ries my Grannie used to share. There is not much I wouldn’t give to hear those sto­ries just one more time, just so I could soak them in just a lit­tle bit longer. She’s been on my mind a lot late­ly, Sep­tem­ber 23rd marked 11 years with­out her…

    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.

    Fall Front Porch Styling Tips

    2:29 AM - By 

    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…
