    Mak­ing Spring decor using these skin­ny spin­dles from the shop just may be my new obses­sion! Not only was thi project easy, but also, the end result turned out absolute­ly amazing!  What you will need: Spin­dles Miter Saw Green flo­ral stems hot clue orange paint small paint brush twine and/or raffia The process start­ed out fair­ly sim­ple.

GET THEM HERE.  After they were cut to size, I light­ly sand­ed…

    Dollar Tree Bowl Filler

    9:47 PM - By 

    I love using sim­ple items and bring­ing them togeth­er to cre­ate a unique piece of decor for my home. Today’s project does just that. After a recent trip to my local Dol­lar Tree I came home with some flo­ral moss, a bag of riv­er rocks and wood slices. Instead of just sim­ply throw­ing every­thing in a bowl, which you could total­ly do, I decid­ed to take things a step further. Sup­plies you will need for this project include: Rocks Flo­ral moss Wood Slices Dec­o­ra­tive Bowl Hot Glue There are real­ly only two easy steps to this process. Step one being attach moss…

    Rustic Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover

    9:02 PM - By 

    If you would have told me a year ago that I would be shar­ing images of my new­ly updat­ed dream kitchen I would have lol’d…BIG TIME! We were no where near buy­ing our for­ev­er home, in fact, we were rent­ing and bank­ing on buy­ing that place! But God…GOD had dif­fer­ent plans for our fam­i­ly. I din’t know exact­ly what they were at that point but I just had this feel­ing that we need­ed to wait.  The iron­ic part is I am a very VERY impa­tient per­son. When I get some­thing in my head, I want to jump to it right them…

    Easy Picture Frame Using Paint Sticks

    6:46 PM - By 

    Let me just start by say­ing this project is soooo sim­ple. But do not, I repeat, do not let the sim­plic­i­ty of some­thing fool you. This lit­tle frame packs a pret­ty big punch in the shelf sit­ting are­na. It all start­ed with a craft cart full of ran­dom­ness and a han­kerin to mae some­thing with my hands and..whala! Here is how you can recre­ate your very own! Start with some basic sup­plies, a glue gun, some quart size paint stir sticks or (even some lit­tle shims would work too) the back of an old pic­ture frame with the “leg” thingy attached,…

    Simple Heart Clips for Valentine’s Day

    6:53 PM - By 

    Valen­tine’s Day is such a fun lit­tle hol­i­day to me. From mak­ing cards to giv­ing choco­lates, and all the roman­tic things in between; I think it’s fun. Is it super cheesy? Oh my word, yes! haha but… I real­ly don’t mind the label of a hope­less roman­tic if you choose to call me that. Even with all the love I have in my heart for the cel­e­bra­tions, it is just sim­ply one hol­i­day I don’t get excit­ed to dec­o­rate for sim­ple because of the bold col­ors that typ­i­cal­ly some along with it. Pinks, and reds, espe­cial­ly, just aren’t what I…

    8:45 PM - By 

    Although it is 60 degrees and I have my win­dows open, win­ter sol­stice has offi­cial­ly arrived here in West­ern Ken­tucky. Lucky for me this year I have focused more on win­ter­ing my decor from the begin­ning of the hol­i­day sea­son. Aside from tak­ing the Christ­mas tree down in a few days there is very lit­tle I will have to do to tran­si­tion the home­stead into a cozy abode this winter. I hope you enjoy gath­er­ing inspi­ra­tion from these spaces like I did bring­ing them togeth­er. Each idea is unique and would be a won­der­ful win­tery addi­tion to your home. I…
