    Simple DIY Sand Paint Recipe

    2:57 PM - By 

    I have been look­ing for a good way to tex­tur­ize my fall DIY projects (did you see what I did to this thrift­ed planter?) and I final­ly found the solu­tion with this DIY sand paint recipe. I was inspired by a salt­wash paint­ing tech­nique my friend Chasi­da at Cus­tom South­ern Co. shared with her fol­low­ers on Face­book and it got my wheels turning.  I want­ed to find a way to recre­ate what she had done for my own projects since I did­n’t have her medi­um on hand. This is the recipe I used to make my own tex­tured sand paint. Ingredients…

    Dollar Tree DIY BOHO Planter

    11:23 AM - By 

    Some of my favorite DIY’s start with some­thing so sim­ple. In this case, a sim­ple plas­tic bowl from the Dol­lar Tree was all that I need­ed, along with a lit­tle paint of course to cre­ate a beau­ti­ful DIY Boho Planter. I have recent­ly become a plant mama and I am work­ing hard to keep every­thing alive (fin­gers crossed) and decid­ed to find most of planters either through thrift or DIY. I fell in love with the shape of this stur­dy lit­tle bowl from Dol­lar Tree and decid­ed to give it a whirl. Are you think­ing about mak­ing your own? I have…

    August Vintage Finds

    6:51 AM - By 

    It’s no secret that I love to go thrift­ing, junk­ing , yard-saleing…you name it. Basi­cal­ly if I have the chance to find some­thing beau­ti­ful­ly aged, then you can count me in. I want­ed to share my most recent vin­tage finds. These have been col­lect­ed over the course of a cou­ple weeks and why I chose them to come home to add my my collection. I have always loved an eclec­tic, cot­tage type feel and it just so hap­pens, junk­ing and search­ing for pieces (my favorite sport) is THE BEST way to achieve this cozy and col­lect­ed vibe.

    Rustic Feed Sack Kitchen Sink Curtain

    8:14 PM - By 

    Okay so when we bought our farm back in Decem­ber, I knew imme­di­ate­ly that the kitchen was going to be one of the first rooms we would tack­le as far as ren­o­va­tions. It need­ed paint, back­splash, fixtures…all the things. Like most of our projects and home renos we were (and are) work­ing with a strict bud­get. Dec­o­rat­ing on a bud­get has become a way of life for me. Most­ly out of neces­si­ty but also out of enjoyment.  Luck­i­ly, this cute lit­tle tip for adding a charm­ing old fash­ioned feel to you kitchen hits the nail on the head when it…

    Beautiful Scrap Wood Projects for Your Home

    4:58 AM - By 

    Here on the farm we have a nev­er end­ing sup­ply of scrap wood. This makes it my go-to choice for inspir­ing you to make beau­ti­ful scrap wood projects for your home. We live sev­er­al miles from town so it’s not easy to hop in the car to go decor shop­ping, plus I enjoy get­ting my hands dirty while mak­ing some­thing myself. Do you feel the same way? Insert the scrap wood pile. Here is my (un)offi­cial def­i­n­i­tion: a pile of wood­en good­ness just beg­ging to be beau­ti­ful again!

    Old-Fashioned Homemaking and Simple DIY Living

    9:53 PM - By 

    Old-fash­ioned home­mak­ing and sim­ple DIY Liv­ing isn’t all about being a stay at home mom, although, that cer­tain­ly is a big part of my per­son­al expe­ri­ence. Rather is is about embrac­ing a slow­er paced and inten­tion­al­ly sim­ple lifestyle. Back in the day this type of lifestyle was the stan­dard way of liv­ing. Today, no so much. I am on a mis­sion to help women embrace this lifestyle and to encour­age them that it is pos­si­ble in today’s world. Women of all ages should feel con­fi­dent in nutur­ing their home and spaces in a way that feels wholesome.  “I am begin­ning…
