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.…

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…

Supplies Needed: 3 Thrifted Plates Spindles Knob E6000 Adhesive Spray paint I have always wanted a reason to buy all the pretty little plates from the thrift store or yard sales.

There’s also my weird obsession with searching for old and beautiful plates so really this project was a match made in DIY heaven. This project started with a collection of 3 plates from a local thrift store for about a quarter a piece. Two of…

Ok so it’s no secret that I love a thrifty planter makeover. I can usually be found searching my local thrift store shelves at least once a week. I love the thrill of finding something with good bones and breathing a fresh new life and purpose into it. In this case, a DIY concrete pedestal. This particular thrifty makeover was a little extra fun simply because I ended up using it for something completely different than plants. If I am being super honest I can barely keep plants alive so having an abundance of planters doesn’t add any value to…

It’s been a hot minute since I posted anything new here on the blog and I thought this DIY Joy sign was a great way to finish up all of my seasonal Christmas projects. In all honesty haven’t had a ton of time to spend on very many projects since opening the shoppe. This project blossomed out of the need to clear my mind and the word “Joy” was the first word that came to mind. Just this past Friday, December 10th our small town of Mayfield. KY was completely devastated by high-end, monster EF‑4 tornado. After seeing the devastation…

We recently opened up our new home decor shoppe and I knew after opening weekend that I would need a cute way to provide hand sanitizer at the checkout. That is when I thought of this soap pump makeover! I found the cutest glass soap pump for $1 with a hobnail pattern that I couldn’t resist. A quick cleaning and a little paint and this makeover was finished and ready for the checkout counter. I covered the glass portion of the pump with 2 thin coats of chalky white paint and applied rub n buff in antique gold to the…

When I picked up this little $3 ceramic Christmas horse at a local thrift store last week, I knew right away I wanted to try to recreate a beautiful European Farmhouse Christmas inspired piece!

With a price tag of only $3 I knew I needed to bring it back to the shoppe for a little makeover. My secret weapon...Rub N’ Buff! This stuff is so pigmented and magical when it comes to transforming something basic like this little…

I feel like I have been on a roll at the thrift store lately. This thrift store urn caught my attention right away with its French Farmhouse DIY vibes. I paid a whopping 25 cents for this little piece with BIG potential among some other great thrifty decor finds from that day!

This is one of those pieces with “good bones.” The shape, the texture…all the things are right but it just needs a liiiiitle something. That’s…
