If you know me then you know how much I enjoy walking the isles of the dollar store. It’s exciting to see all the amazing goodies you can find for $1. Even if the product itself is a little “meh” I encourage you to think outside the box and imagine it with a fresh coat of paint or re purposed into something completely different! In this case a little spray paint and a coat of laquer was all I needed to transform a cheap looking tray into a beautiful piece of farmhouse fall decor! I chose a white spray paint because…

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.

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,…

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…

If you have never heard of Rae Dunn it is very possible that you may be living under a rock. It is seriously all the rage in farmhouse styled décor right now. I must admit I am not entirely sure why since nothing about the simple designs scream farmhouse to me…BUT…they are simply presh…you know what else they are? Expensive! At least some of the time anyway. If you’re one of the lucky few that has been able to snag some amazing deals on this adorable collection at TjMaxx then kudos, I tip my hat to you my friend. Heck,…

SUPPLIES 2 Eucalyptus stems (or stems of your choice) Floral wire Wire cutters It seems like I am always lacking in greenery around my home.

Plus, lets face it…greenery can be expensive! When I found these super cute eucalyptus stems for only $3 each it was a no brainer…I was gonna make some for myself. Start by snipping several pieces of your floral wire with your wire cutters. Then,…

Supplies An assortment of small branches White Spray Paint of your choice Colorful wood beads Wood Craft Stars Wood Stain of your choice Hot Glue Gun Last night we had some CRAY‑Z storms roll through, knocking down trees and blowing limbs and leaves every-stinkin-where.

Me and my handy man, Linc, went and gathered a few branches. I mean after all, we were getting limbs out of the yard. Two birds, one stone and…
