    Makeover Monday : French Farmhouse DIY Urn

    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.

    Yes­ter­day, I took some­what of a “per­son­al” day and decid­ed to step away from the com­put­er and go on a hunt for thrift store decor. Brows­ing the isles and search­ing for mis­placed trea­sures is seri­ous­ly one of my very favorite ways to pass time. That’s the thing about thrift­ing, or just stop­ping in on a whim. Some­times you win big and oth­er times you walk away emp­ty handed.  But either way, there was the hunt. And the truth is, some­times you just need to take a per­son­al day and lose your­self doing some­thing you love, because you love it. And not…
