I found inspiration for this easy DIY by browsing Pinterest  late one evening. What You’ll Need Jute String Faux Florals/Greens Scissors Stick First thing, I went to the yard and grabbed a stick. You need to chose one by the length you need. If needed, go for larger and break off the sides to the exact length for your space. Hang the stick from a wall, mantel, or favorite bulky cabinet like I did. Any large rarely used piece of furniture would work. Time…

Recently, I’ve learned about another treasure you can find at thrift stores!! Beautiful paintings!! ? Yes, all that time and love someone invested into a painting ends up at a thrift store. ? Sad, but good for me, right? Helpful Hint – Look for the paintings where you can get lost in the scene. For me, this is a scene of farm land or a cozy house.☺️ If you can stare at the picture and get lost daydreaming, buy it. ?? That means you’ll love it in your home. Weeks ago, I spotted another beautiful oil painting at a thrift store for $11. It was lovely, but the wooden frame…

We have an antique mantel in our kitchen. (I tricked my husband into this one.. he thought I was buying it to resell until I brought it home and said, “it goes here” and pointed to specific corner in our kitchen.???)  This mantel is perfect for displaying my milk glass vases. However, I felt it could use a little…

I was needing a quick easy decor idea for the mantel in my bedroom. Honestly, I envisioned an old metal fence gate above this mantel but each gate I found was over $200. ?? So, I came up with this window idea a few Saturdays ago. It’s easy and not much money! I found three windows all in one day. ☝? I think I spent $25 for all three. ?
