This wood sunflower DIY was a little outside of my comfort zone. For some reason painting makes me a nervous wreck buuuuttt I decided to take a dose of my own medicine, and like I always say “Just go for it!” So this is me going for it. I decided to give this simple wood sunflower dimension with a painting technique that I love to refer to as “wood buttering.” It’s literally where you spread your paint on like you would butter a piece of toast…no kidding! Watch me butter this Wood Sunflower. This wood Sunflower Kit is exclusive to our…

Growing up, Thanksgiving meals were always held at my Grannie’s farmhouse here in Western Kentucky. Most of our family lived within a 5 mile radius and we all piled in the modest, wood-paneled, den and kitchen area. There were so many cousins, aunts and uncles we were quite literally piled on top of each other. But honestly, that was how I liked it! When my Grannie, the Matriarch, passed in 2008 the family suddenly stopped having large holiday meals together. Instead we all split off into our own little units and haven’t had a meal together since. But alas, my…

I must warn you before you read any further. I am hard core about some fall DIY over here at R+R lately. It truly is my favorite time of year, now through Christmas really. Something just clicks in my brain and I literally can’t turn it off. Every where I look I find inspiration. In a recent trip to the Goodwill I came across a knitted scarf and BOOM it hit me. I decided right then and there I was gonna cover a pumpkin with this cute scarf. It had an old timey, vintage feel and it fit perfectly with…

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…

I seriously can’t believe it time to start thinking about Halloween already! This time of year for us is insanely busy…from birthdays to holidays it stays jam packed! So I get that it may be a bit early for Halloween for some but if I don’t plan ahead it just will not happen. This projects is super fun and made almost entirely of Dollar Tree supplies…even better! Start by adding hot glue to the rim of your terra cotta pot and pressing your Spanish moss to the glue. I really love the eeerie vibe the color of this moss gives…

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. My favorite project to date was the dining room table we built as a family. I did capture a few of the special moments of us building as a family but I certainly wish I had more of the process to share with you all. 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,…

There is only one thing better than buffalo check.…buffalo check flannel! This project all stemmed from my need for pumpkins to mingle in with my fall decor. Grab you some fabric (or an old flannel shirt) and a old pillow and you’re on your way to DIY pumpkin heaven! Grab a pillow you don’t mind sacrificing and cut that bad boy open. You’re gonna need the polyfil for later. Next comes your fabric. I had debated on using a farmhouse printed fabric but ultimately decided on buffalo check, because well…it’s buffalo check and I literally can’t get enough of it. Simply cut…

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…
