Last month I wrote a guest post for My Repurposed Life, showing my kitchen wall that I added a pegboard to. For that post, I styled the pegboard as a kitchen organizer. As much as I love it, I have other spots in my kitchen for the tools, but I use this area as a small home office nook, so what I really need is a kind of command center – a place to hang a calendar, and keep pens, notepads, and other things I {Read More}
a Bridal Shower, a Quick Trip, and and Mother’s Day
May 8, 2016 by 2 Comments
This weekend was a total whirlwind. Actually, the entire week was! My daughter’s best friend is getting married in a few weeks, so today we hosted a bridal shower at our house for a small group of her friends. I spent the early part of last week doing a house purge to get all my in-progress projects hidden away, which was a huge job, but they’ve been best friends since they were in kindergarten, so I was more than happy to do {Read More}
Glass Door Cabinet Makeover + Tips!
May 6, 2016 by 13 Comments
I just finished a new project, and while I’m sharing it, I thought I’d give some tips on how to spray paint a design on glass with stencils, because it opens up so many more possibilities of ways to use your stencils. A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to a neighborhood yard sale, where I picked up this little cute little cabinet. I found it at the first stop we made, and loved the curved top around the glass {Read More}
Window Flower Box for the Guest House
May 4, 2016 by 13 Comments
There are things we know we should never, ever do. Things we’ve known since we were young. Things like: Never cross the street without looking both ways first. Never interrupt someone while they are talking. And whatever you do, never, ever, ever go shopping on an empty stomach, because if you get to the store and it’s the day they are offering free samples, you’ll get home, unpack your groceries, and realize you bought 10 pounds of amazing raspberry cheddar gourmet cheese, a 48-count case {Read More}

Cheese Dome Upcycle + Grade School Flashback
May 1, 2016 by 13 Comments
I’m a sucker for glass cloches, so a few weeks ago when I spotted this little cheese dome at a thrift store, I had to buy it. How could I pass up such a cute little glass top and pretty wood base? But there was one thing about it that I just didn’t like…
Farmhouse Flowers Printables

It’s been rainy, cold and dreary here in the Midwest, and since it’s too wet to do anything outside, I brainstormed what project I could work on indoors, and I remembered some farmhouse style photos I took last year, and realized I had a really easy project I could make with them.

Magnolia Market Style Farmhouse Serving Plank
April 28, 2016 by 11 Comments
As much as I’d love to visit Magnolia Market, I don’t see that happening in the near future, but I did some online “window shopping” and spotted a few things I love. One of them is their Farmhouse Serving Plank. I love that it can be used to serve food, but can also be used as a table centerpiece. It’s actually similar to the rustic table centerpiece I made and used in the autumn (seen here) and at Christmas (seen {Read More}
Gifts for Mother’s Day, Picket Fence Herb Planter + More: Talk of the Town #17
April 26, 2016 by 8 Comments
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and as I was looking at the features for Talk of the Town this week, I realized that all of them would make great gifts and are more creative than off the shelf gifts! What mom wouldn’t love a picket fence herb planter that doubles as a message center, a bottle carrier filled with blooming bottles, a tiered bird feeder, or a furniture makeover? I know I would! Milk bottle cap spools would look {Read More}
Painting, Pallet Wood and a Farmhouse Accent Table
April 24, 2016 by 14 Comments
Have you ever had something that was just begging for a makeover, but you needed some time to decide whether it needed painting, or decoupaging, or glittering? So you thought, and thought, and thought about it… for two years? Please tell me you sometimes have to think that long too. Well, this is the story of a little table that finally got the makeover it waited two whole years to get.
