I'm showing you how to create a layered mirror mantel in your home that is perfect for any season. The best part about this design is that you can create this look for any season. While I have a few pumpkins and amber bottles in this design, other items can easily transition with each season. So let's learn how to … [Read more...]
Spooky Halloween Tablescape
Enter into my haunted dining room, if you dare.... Because we're putting together a spooky Halloween tablescape. I know, it's literally the week of Halloween. And I'm just now sharing this with you. Late, I know, but you can always pin this for next year. A little boo-tiful planning a year ahead never hurts. ;) First I started with some black and white netting cheesecloth {creepy cloth} and placed it into the middle of the table. You can find this creepy cheesecloth anywhere this time … [Read more...]
How to Turn a Thrifted Picture Frame into a Mirror
Turn a thrifted picture frame into a mirror with this simple DIY project! I love the look of vintage mirrors, but they're hard to find, and when I do it's really expensive! Shopping at the thrift store a few weeks back I spotted two mirrors {which I bought!} and a large oval shaped picture frame. I put a poll up in my stories on if I should get the picture frame and try to turn it into a mirror; and the majority of you voted yes! So let's learn how to turn a thrifted picture frame into … [Read more...]
Jewel Tone Fall Tablescape
Fall is officially here and it's my favorite time of the year! So that means it's time for us to put together a new tablescape for the season! Not just any ol' tablescape though - we are putting together a jewel tone fall tablescape using warmer colors and lots of texture. This fall I'm pushing the envelope and doing things a little different. I'm envisioning more of a Bohemian fall themed vibe around the house with jewel tones and pops of metallic! Don't worry, I'll still share neutral … [Read more...]

DIY Metallic Vases: Get the Look for Less
From discarded, mismatched glass vases to an instant collection of one of a kind metallic vases... get the look for less than ten bucks! I'm teaming up with my friends Jackie and Liz for another fun blog hop. Our theme is a fun one and requires us to think outside of the box and stay on budget: how I would spend $10 at a store of our choosing. I immediately decided the thrift store would be where I'd spend my ten bucks because that's a great place to stretch a dollar. Walking down the … [Read more...]
The World’s Longest Yard Sale: Pickin’ Adventures
The World's Longest Yard Sale brought us through three states and breathtaking country sides. We traveled even farther this year into Tennessee and could have made it to Kentucky if we had a little more time. The thing I love most about The World's Longest Yard Sale is visiting and supporting small towns and exploring places you may not ever visit if it weren't for the sales! People come from all over to sell or to buy each year, and it's fun to meet them and we have certain houses, shops and … [Read more...]

Patriotic Mantel with Vintage Finds
Do you switch out the decor on your mantel for every season or holiday? While I was in love with my spring mantel using the vintage windows, I decided to switch it up for the summer. This patriotic mantel is festive for the 4th of July and perfect to leave up for the rest of the summer. When decorating a mantel, you want to use something that will cover a large area of the wall to be your focal point. You could use a large sign or one large window as your base - just to give you a few … [Read more...]
Putting Together a Patriotic Porch
I'm teaming up again with my friends at the Sweet Moda Blog Project and this week our theme is plants. So while my plants were thriving and looking pretty, I had to snap some pictures and reveal my patriotic porch to you! Plant Lady? It's no secret that I have a black thumb, but so far this summer I'm a plant lady, y'all! Now, don't ask me about the names of any of these plants.... or for any gardening advice. Because for that, I have none! ;) I just bought what looked pretty and were in … [Read more...]
