Hello everyone! I’ve been a busy bee, and can’t wait to show you my Christmas entryway! I don’t decorate my entire house for every season and holiday. It’s just too much work, but I did want the entryway to look welcoming and festive. The entryway remodel is almost finished, and it’s down to deciding what to do about the floor, but my husband built me a wall hutch that I couldn’t wait to decorate for the holidays. It has 3 tall vertical shelves and 1 {Read More}

A Rustic Bucket and Metal Tags for Christmas
November 29, 2015 by 2 Comments
This post is written in collaboration with Antique Farmhouse. When I’m looking for vintage style decor for my home, auctions are usually the best source, but as more and more people buy at auctions to resell, it’s become harder and harder to win something at a decent price – if you win at all. Often the prices climb even higher than the prices I see in antique stores, and usually the pieces are dirty and need to be scrubbed well before {Read More}
DIY Mittens Garland
November 15, 2015 by 16 Comments
Yesterday I was at the fabric store, and as I am prone to do, I went in to buy one thing, and came out with something else completely unplanned. My husband was waiting in the car for me, so I had every intention of getting what I went in for, and getting right back out quickly, but then I spotted a display bin full of gloves and mittens. I have no idea why a fabric store would sell gloves and mittens, but my eyes {Read More}
Antique Crates and a Rusty Kettle

I’ve mainly been working on Christmas projects, but I had to squeak in just a little bit more of autumn! I was hanging some decor in our still unfinished entryway (sigh), and I put some antique crates on the wall to use as small shelves.

I’ll warn you right now, today’s project turned out awesome, and I totally love it…but I screwed it up. You might not even notice the problem up, but it’s a biggie. I just want to warn you now, so you don’t make the same mistake, but I’ll tell you more about that at the end – if you haven’t figured out the problem before then. Okay, so I was in the dollar store last week, scoping out the 2016 calendars. I {Read More}
Toy Sleigh Makeover
November 5, 2015 by 20 Comments
When we visited family in New Mexico during the summer, they sent me home with quite a few things, like my husband’s grandfather’s old tools that I turned into a keepsake displlay (seen here), and this toy sleigh. It isn’t very old, and looked a bit ho-hum – like something from an 80’s Lillian Vernon catalog, but I thought a makeover might do it wonders. My original plan was to paint the wood white, and add a little sign on the side {Read More}
Watercolor Artwork with Old Calendars
October 29, 2015 by 14 Comments
Sometimes we get so used to the things in our house, that we don’t really see them anymore. For example, I bought a calendar with beautiful watercolor artwork, but I’ve looked at it so many times this year, I rarely ever notice the illustrations anymore – I’m just looking at the date boxes. But for whatever reason, today was different, and I really looked at it. Suddenly I was in love with my pretty dollar store calendar again, and was annoyed with {Read More}
Farmhouse Friday – Baskets and Bins
October 22, 2015 by 17 Comments
Today for Farmhouse Friday, I picked a topic that’s a borderline obsession with me – baskets and bins! I love buying them, upcycling them, and repurposing them, and I use them in every room in my house, as I’m sure you do too. I’ve got a big round-up of ways to use baskets and bins in your farmhouse decor!
