    Thrifty Spring Decor for Your Mantle

    7:18 PM - By 

    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.…

    DIY Rusted Hardware

    2:44 AM - By 

    I have been work­ing on our island con­ver­sion for a few weeks now and I am final­ly gett­ting to the final touch­es on every­thing I want­ed the piece to look authen­ti­cal­ly old, that was my main goal. I bought new apothe­cary hard­ware from Ama­zon and absolute­ly LOVED the design. What I did­n’t love was how new they looked. They did­n’t match the age of the rest of the piece and I kin­da thought I was doomed. That was until I ran across this prod­uct shared by The Vin­tage Porch. It’s a Rust fin­ish met­al effects kit by Mod­ern Mas­ters. It…

    12:30 PM - By 

    I am a suck­er for all things vin­tage. It is my jam. I see rust or chip­py paint and my heart real­ly does flut­ter and to answer your ques­tion, no I don’t think it’s going any­where in the decor world. In my Pin­ter­est search­ing, I found myself lin­ger­ing toward inspi­ra­tion that includ­ed nat­ur­al grass­es, flow­ers, moss ect. and decid­ed to gath­er a few of my favorites togeth­er for those that are like-heart­ed in their desire to mix in old­er ele­ments with the nat­ur­al beau­ty and new­ness that Spring brings. The pho­tos con­tain links to the orginal sources. Take this arrnge­ment…

    Winter Decor from Amazon

    4:10 AM - By 

    Late­ly, I have been try­ing to embrace the cozi­ness the house can bring dur­ing the frigid Win­ter months. It can get quite dreery and drab out­side and it can most cer­tain­ly drag your mood down, espe­cial­ly after the twin­kle lights of Christ­mas have fad­ed. But lis­ten, just because the weath­er may be yuck and unwel­come, that does­n’t mean you have to feel that way in your home. I am a firm believ­er in sur­round­ing your­self with what makes you feel good and hap­py to be home.  With that being said, I have been on the hunt for sta­ple peices and Ama­zon…
