Bleaching wood furniture is not a new concept but it is definitely trending in home decor right now. Simply put it’s just a process for lightening wood. I creates that beautiful, blonde type vibe that can easily be mixed into rustic decor, modern aesthetics and everything in between. I am especially fond of it bringing out the natural beauty in wood rather than covering it with paint. Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a time and place for painted pieces but this process is perfect for those heirloom type pieces that you want to preserve or maybe you don’t…

I haven’t crafted a whole lot of Easter decor this season and I have been saving a little wood cross I found at my local dollar store for when the inspiration hit. Today was the day! I made the most beautiful Easter cross decor display using that dollar store find and a few items from my home decor boutique, Roost and Restore Home. It all started when I was making my usual Monday morning stroll through the store. I like to look around the displays after a couple days off to see if there is anything that needs to be…

Everyone needs a little cabinet of curiosities, right? If you haven’t owned one at some point I am willing to bet you know someone who does! I remember the old fashioned curios that we’re really popular in the late 80s early 90s. My mom had one filled with angels she used to collect. Glass cabinet styling back then meant you placed your most prized possessions behind the glass doors and then truly they became dust collectors that no one was allowed to touch. I was recently gifted an old-fashioned oak curio from my aunt and I was excited to get my…

I grabbed a collection of Springy florals from the local dollar store recently and I knew i wanted to create a Spring dough bowl flower arrangement with them.

If you don’t have a dough bowl, we offer them at R+R Home. They come with a beautifully scented candle inside that can either be repoured or repurposed like I did with this arrangement. I started…
