    5 Repurposed Kitchen Island Tutorials

    1:50 PM - By 

    When I was toss­ing around ideas for cre­at­ing a kitchen island, I knew with­out a doubt that I want­ed to repur­pose SOMETHING, but I wan’t too sure on what. Of course, if you fol­low the blog, then you already know we decid­ed on the dress­er in the image below. I am super pleased with how this piece turned out. But y’all, if I had a place in my house for more than one repur­posed island, you betcha I would have these in this collection. I just sim­ply want­ed to gath­er them for you, and unfold my thought process behind my…

    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…

    Vintage Valentine’s Day Mantle Decor

    6:20 PM - By 

    Ok y’all. So I have jumped on the band­wag­on and decid­ed to add just a touch of love to my decor for Valen­tine’s Day. I have not giv­en it much thought in years past but I am real­ly enjoy­ing the chal­lenge of incor­po­rat­ing the “feel” of Valen­tine’s with­out so much of the reds ros­es and pink plas­tic hearts.  I cre­at­ed this look by gath­er­ing a few signs I had in oth­er rooms of my home and brought them togeth­er to cap­ture a cen­tral theme. The largest one came right off my mas­ter bed­room wall. No kid­ding! When I dec­o­rate it…

    Upcycled Advent Countdown Cabinet

    7:29 PM - By 

    So there is a fun­ny back sto­ry to how this cab­i­net came to be. If you know me then you know I like to online shop in the mid­dle of the night. I some­times wake up in the mid­dle­of th night and have trou­ble going back to sleep so I shop and day­dream until I get drowsy again. Weeeeeell, here’s the thing. I some­times buy things and com­plete­ly for­get about my com­mit­ment to pick them up or that I even bought it in the first place. Yeah, I know, weird huh?  That is exact­ly what hap­pened here, with this cab­i­net. I…

    Easy Christmas Candle Display

    10:39 AM - By 

    I am elbows deep in pack­ing box­es and clean­ing out soooo much clut­ter before we move. That is how I dis­cov­ered the peices for this lit­tle gem. I was in my “office” which has real­ly just become a stor­age area forall of my sup­plies and projects when I came across these can­dles, and an old bro­ken tray. They were not stored togeth­er and, in fact, sep­a­rate­ly, they all looked pret­ty sad. With me being in clean-out mode they were tossed mind­less­ly into the donate box.  Yep, this project almost did­n’t even hap­pen. It was­n’t until I was load­ing things into…

    Thrifted DIY Snow Scene Christmas Cloche

    11:35 AM - By 

    I am up bright and ear­ly on this chilly Octo­ber morn­ing sip­ping my cof­fee in my fuzzy socks and dream­ing of all the beau­ti­ful Christ­mas things. The lights, the orna­ments, the trees, the gifts. Every lit­tle thing about Christ­mas makes me so gid­dy. Typ­i­cal­ly I am a Hal­loween gal, and believe me when I say that both Hal­loween and Thanks­giv­ing deserve their time in the spot­light, but this year I am real­ly fight­ing the urge to jump head first into Christmas.  You see the thing is, I like to think ahead. For weeks now I have been get­ting a plan…
