DIY Green Bundle
Spring is here! (Almost) I was needing to add a little green on a plate wall in our dining room. So, here’s what I did!! What You’ll Need – Jute String Lace Green Picks Scissors Step 1 Cut strips of lace into squares. I’m not one for measuring.. way too scatterbrain for that. But I’d say about 12″ squares. My lace squares turned out to be more of a a rectangle. Step 2 Fold the lace in half and bunch it around each green pick. Step 3 Then secure the bundle together by wrapping a little jute string around and tying a little bow. Step 4 Time to style it!!…

Bedroom Update Decor
Hey buddies!! So I needed a little refresh in our bedroom!! Nothing big.. just using what I already had and adding a little bit!! Inspiration: My bedroom inspo came from my favorite pass time – books! Often Aaron and I read in our bedroom before bedtime. I wanted to embrace that little pass time with specific elements in the room! What we did: I switched up the headboard a little! I’ve had the large gray fence headboard for a bit. (You can read more about it here) So I added another layer of fencing.. a white picket fence. Something about a picket fence reminds me of a fairytale so it was right on…

Meet Ducky Duck – Vintage Find
I have to share a recent favorite antique store find with my like minded vintage loving friends! The old ducky duck came just in time for SPRING!! A few days ago, I was at an Antique mall working in one of my vintage booths – Classic Cottage.

For less than $10, I knew ducky duck would find a home.. possibly my home. I wasn’t totally sure what I would do with her but I knew if nothing else I…

Simple January Farm Table Decor
January means clean, simplified and basic to me. I love to strip my house to the bare bones and decorate with the most “basic” items in my home.. “Less is more” sorta thing. After a bank breaking month known as DECEMBER, I like to spend the least amount of money as possible. Here’s my key to doing this – look around my own home and repurpose/re-stage items I already have. Repurposing/re-staging keeps me out of TJ Maxx, World Market and Hobby Lobby.. So, in return I’m saving all “the money”!!! Early January I restyled our farm table using all items I already owned! The base of this decor is CAKE PLATES! Cake…

Growing up, my mom had hundreds of these little Santa faced mugs, pitchers, and cookie jars all around our home during the Holidays. Some belonged to her mother (my grandmother). It’s sorta funny how the collection began for me.. many of you know I’m a picker/flipper/vintage dealer (whichever you wanna call it). During my early days , when I ran across a Santa mugduring my picking adventures I had to buy it because I always got the sensation my mom would…

Garland Galore
Happy December! So I have found a cheap easy way to make your home feel perfectly festive for Christmas! It’s called garland. Timeless, right? A few weeks ago I found fresh garland at Home Depot for $6.88 so I grabbed a couple of rolls to play around with. Let’s just say one thing led to another and I was back the next afternoon grabbing more. What I Did – I grabbed a hammer and nails and began hanging it here and there. I pretty much hung it from a nail on both sides leaving a swag in the middle and length on the ends. Pretty easy peasy! Where You Can Use It…
