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}

Corrugated Metal – It Isn’t Just for Old Barns!
September 9, 2016 by 23 Comments
Corrugated metal… Oh how I love it. If it ever goes out of style, I’m in big trouble, but it’s been a staple in farmhouses for years, so hopefully I’m safe. We added it to a wall in my shed turned guest room. I used a piece left over from the guest room to make this pallet wood & galvanized metal flower display. And another small piece for this Fresh Pies sign. This kitchen has corrugated walls behind the exposed wall studs, via Lacquered Life. Wood {Read More}
Paper Towels Overload and New Wood Tote Style
September 7, 2016 by 4 Comments
Paper towels… I have oodles of them. If there’s ever a zombie apocalypse and there’s a raid on grocery stores, my family may not have a stockpile of food to fall back on, but we have plenty of paper towels. My husband found an amazing deal, and bought several cases of them. We now have them stacked in our bedroom, and taking up space in our bathroom storage closet. Looking at all of them made me want to work on more farmhouse {Read More}
Eggs in a Basket and a New Tiered Stand
August 13, 2016 by 8 Comments
I know we aren’t supposed to put all of our eggs in one basket, but I threw caution to the wind and did it. First off, we’re almost out of eggs. 🙂 But the real reason is I found the cutest little basket at the thrift store. It was just the right size to hold my less than dozen eggs. Did I need a cute little basket? No I didn’t, but the price was right, it was sturdy, and the patina was calling {Read More}
Beauty Salon Makeover for an Old Oil Heater
August 4, 2016 by 38 Comments
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}

Junky Door Wall Vase
July 9, 2016 by 8 Comments
Last year, we decided to get a new quote on our house insurance. It seemed like a great idea … until the insurance man showed up at my door. He showed up at my door unannounced. He showed up at my door unannounced … with his camera. I stood in the doorway, babbling like an idiot, about why that wasn’t a good day, and could he come back next week?
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}
