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…
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}
Fresh Flowers, Spring Chickens, Placemat + Pillow

No, no, NO! That’s the answer I’ve given my kids every time they ask if they can get another animal. When my kids were little, I was all in favor of having lots of animals, so each one of them got their own dog, my daughter also got 2 horses and a cat, and another cat adopted us that we kept (you can see him here). But now that they are older, my rule is that they are welcome {Read More}
Tea Kettle on a Tea Kettle … What??
April 20, 2016 by 17 Comments
My mom has a cast iron tea kettle that I was admiring at her house, and have been hoping I might find a similar one, but something lucky happened, so I got one (sort of), but didn’t have to buy it. Clear as mud, right? Let me explain…

Mason Jars Stencils, DIY Wood Tote + Custom Stencils
April 13, 2016 by 11 Comments
You all love mason jars, right? Yeah, that’s a silly question! I collect old ones, and my favorites from my collection are displayed on the new kitchen window shelf my husband made me last year. Well, a few days ago, I shared a little wooden crate I had upcycled to look like an old produce shipping crate. It has the words, “Sweet Harvest Produce Co.” lettered on the side, but that lettering was only part of my newest Vintage Sign Stencil design, so I’m {Read More}
Garage Sale Find into Farmhouse Style Crate
April 10, 2016 by 10 Comments
It’s still a bit early in the season, but I did find a garage sale on Friday. I need more “stuff” in my house like a need a hole in the head, but when I saw an elderly man was running it, I threw common sense to the wind and stopped to check it out. If you love rustic and rusty things – look for old men having a garage sale, because they usually have what I love! I didn’t buy a lot, but {Read More}
The Great Outdoors + Arrows Stencil Designs!

Some of my best memories are memories made outdoors – camping, fishing and bike riding with my parents and sister, and then with my husband and kids when I had my own family.
