Coastal Grandmother Finds From Walmart
Imagine stepping outside of your cedar shake covered home onto a dock that leads to the beach. You take a long stroll on the sand wearing your straw hat, white linen shorts and a beige long sleeves sweater. You come inside to prepare your special clam chowder recipe paired with fresh baked bread from the market. After dinner you snuggle up on your white sofa and read a book while enjoying a glass of wine or a warm cup of chamomile tea. You take pride in your hydrangeas and rose garden.

I’m curvy and they fit great! Linked below!! You don’t have to spend much to have a great pair of JEANS! Speaking of Free Assembly, they have thousands of markdowns right now! I learned earlier this year that Walmart is THE PLACE for swimwear.…

5 Tips for Styling a Cabinet/Shelf
Basics of Cabinet I bought this cabinet at a local thrift store almost a year ago. I paid $350. It’s handmade and approximately 10 feet tall. It’s huge! Finally I painted it. I used the color Bellwood by Fusion Mineral Paint. It took two 16.9oz jars to complete this paint project. To protect the paint I added a coat of tough coat on top of the paint. This step basically made a hard shell over the paint to protect it. I was very impressed by this product! Next I changed out the hardware! Changing hardware on a piece can really make such a big impact! (Tip – to change out hardware, open…

Breakfast Nook Decor & Steps for Styling a Space
We finally decorated our breakfast nook, and I’ve been so excited to share it with you all! We designed this small yet charming room ourselves with dreamy picture windows and vaulted ceiling. One of my favorite things about the space is the sunlight that shines through, especially during the late afternoon and early evening. It’s the perfect spot to come together and eat!

From that moment on, it all came together! Below I’m listing the four steps I follow for decorating a space…
