On Saturday I shared a fall farmhouse table setting that featured jar candles (thank you all for the sweet comments!) and I promised to show how to repurpose the candle jar once the candle has been used up … … because if you’ve visited my blog for any length of time, you know I love repurposing jars!
Coffee Shop at Home Reclaimed Wood Coffee Station
September 30, 2016 by 22 Comments
During the summer when I was traveling with my family, everyone wanted to get out of the car and stretch their legs, so we stopped at a little coffee shop. The owners of the coffee shop had done an amazing job designing the interior and styling the space. The walls were chalkboards filled with chalkboard art and their menu. One wall was filled with coffee merchandise displayed on gorgeous rustic wooden shelves, and a display case was filled with fresh {Read More}

I had the most brilliant idea yesterday. One I was sure would be SO much fun. “We should go to the State Fair”! … I told my sister. She wasn’t quite as excited about the idea as I was, but I remembered all the times I’d taken my kids when they were little, and we’d had so much fun, so she went along with the idea. It was dollar ride day, so I was excited to ride roller coasters and {Read More}

Farm Supply Inspired DIY Bathroom Shelf So, we ran out of chicken food the other day, and I ran into the farm supply store to get more. Don’t worry, I’m not going to talk about chicken food, but you’ve gotta wait for it … 🙂 I flung the bag of feed over my shoulder, passed by the aisle with fly spray and horse bits, and that’s when I saw them. A shelf full of galvanized buckets and tubs. Be still my {Read More}
Beauty Salon Makeover for an Old Oil Heater

When I was a little girl, I loved going with my mom to the beauty salon. I remember the mint green walls in the salon. I remember the long row of hooded hair dryers. And I remember watching in fascination as the beautician teased mom’s hair into a beehive. And I distinctly remember the smell of all the Aqua Net required to keep the beehive in place. My mom could rock a beehive! It’s amazing how you can walk into {Read More}

I wasn’t really in the mood to do any organizing, but there’s a rebellion going on in the barn door cabinet in my entryway, and I was in the middle of it. I use the cabinet to hold paint supplies, but the cabinet could only hold so many containers, and I had crossed that line.

I have a quick, cheap, and easy project to show you today, but first, breaking news… I went on a little getaway with my daughter (that’s not the breaking news part). She needed to go out of town to take some classes for her job, and I went with her. Be patient…that’s not the breaking news part either. 🙂 When we arrived at our hotel, they gave us the usual card key for our room, and as I stood in front of our room’s {Read More}
Ladder Plant Stand Blooming in the Guest Room
July 7, 2016 by 9 Comments
I usually fill the rungs of the ladder in my guest room with old things, but it occurred to me that since the ladder sits right next to the window, I should take advantage of that natural light and use it as a plant stand – at least through the summer and fall months. I took down the cafe lights I had hung in there (seen here), because I’m hoping to move the lights to either our front patio or back {Read More}
