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.

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…

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…

Since moving in our home a little over a year ago, we have done several DIY projects together as a family. Most of which I regret not documenting. My favorite project to date was the dining room table we built as a family. I did capture a few of the special moments of us building as a family but I certainly wish I had more of the process to share with you all. Anyway, all feelings aside, I had never had a table like this before. It’s approximately 7 ft long and can seat up to 8 people. Needless to say,…

There is only one thing better than buffalo check.…buffalo check flannel! This project all stemmed from my need for pumpkins to mingle in with my fall decor. Grab you some fabric (or an old flannel shirt) and a old pillow and you’re on your way to DIY pumpkin heaven! Grab a pillow you don’t mind sacrificing and cut that bad boy open. You’re gonna need the polyfil for later. Next comes your fabric. I had debated on using a farmhouse printed fabric but ultimately decided on buffalo check, because well…it’s buffalo check and I literally can’t get enough of it. Simply cut…

Listen, when you’re on a tight decorating budget like I literally always am, you can learn real quick how to make something from nothing. In my recent thrifting adventures I found a cute little oval poplar wood box for FREE! It literally doesn’t get any better than that! At the time I had no clue what I’d be using it for but I knew it had potential. After getting my thrifted treasures home and unloading everything in the floor, I noticed my little box again. I had sat it out of the box haphazardly on its side and that’s when…

SUPPLIES Wood piece Printer Paper Mod Podge I absolutely love the Halloween/Fall season. Everything about dressing up in costumes, sipping coffee in the chilly temps, hay rides, corn mazes and pumpkin patches…ohhhh my goodness I can’t wait. It may only be August but I have slowly started trickling out my fall decor. Can I confess something though? Halloween decor has always been a challenge for me.I never really know when or how to incorporate the spooky-ness in with my traditional decor and when I do, it ends up looking cluttered. Is this a problem for you or just me? Anyway,…
