The last few months of my dad’s life, his internal clock got a bit out of whack. While he was still able to walk by himself, he’d wake up in the wee hours of the morning, make some coffee, and park himself in the recliner to drink it. He usually fell asleep with it in his hand, and my sister and I often tried to remove the cup so he wouldn’t burn himself, but the moment he felt the cup move, {Read More}
Toddler Overalls Wall Pocket
March 13, 2016 by 2 Comments
I don’t have a toddler or infant anymore, so I rarely look at the little kid’s clothing section of thrift stores, but the pickins’ were pretty slim last time I went in a thrift store, so I wandered over to see if maybe I’d get lucky and find some old wooden blocks, in that department before giving up and leaving empty-handed. I didn’t find any wooden blocks, but I spotted rack full of toddler jeans and overalls, and my mommy heart {Read More}

March 6, 2016 by 13 Comments
The minute the calendar flips to March, I start chomping at the bit for sunshine, green grass and fresh flowers. It’s still too chilly for an outdoor project, so I brainstormed a bit and came up with something that would usher Spring indoors until the weather catches up with me, and here’s what I came up with… Flower Seed Packets Home Sign To create it, I removed the frame from my Autumn Coat Rack Sign. The frame is easy {Read More}
Industrial, Cabin and Farmhouse Style
March 3, 2016 by 7 Comments
Farmhouse homes are my favorite style of house, but if I could get a 2nd house, I would love to have either a mountain log cabin, or an urban industrial loft. I like to come up with ways to integrate the different styles I love into the home I have, so when I spotted a corrugated metal and wood framed mirror at Decor Steals, it reminded me that I still had some corrugated metal left over from our shed-turned-guest room remodel. I don’t know what {Read More}

A Little Spring on a Drink Bottle Good morning everyone!

So, how’s the weather in your neck of the woods? The end of February and all of March {Read More}
Make a Farmhouse Pedestal Stand
February 27, 2016 by 9 Comments
Do you know how to make a pedestal stand? I love these things to pieces and have a few new ones that my husband and I finished this week! Not only do they look super farmhousey (yeah, I made that word up), but they earn their keep in the kitchen. Since I have a serious shortage of counter space in my kitchen, everything has to be functional, and can’t just sit and look pretty. The first one we finished was made {Read More}

Okay, I’m not sure a volcano has {Read More}
Well, Bless You! (Upcycled Tissue Holder)
February 14, 2016 by 2 Comments
I didn’t have much time for thrift shopping while in New Mexico, but my son needed a nice shirt for his grandmother’s funeral, so I hit a few shops and found a ceramic tissue holder while he was hunting for a shirt. It looked fine as it was, but I wanted to give it a little farmhouse character, and if you’ve visited my blog for any length of time, you know what that means…
The Easy Way to Make Aged Looking Signs
February 11, 2016 by 2 Comments
My favorite signs to make are ones that look aged and weathered – like they’ve been hanging on a building or inside a store for years and years. It isn’t hard to create that look at all.
