I’ve been working on an upcoming post involving galvanized pails, so I thought I’d pull out some of my own, add some lace, and get inspired… I love the juxtaposition between the frilly lace and rustic tin pails. This is such an easy and creative lace craft to try! I added lemons and a plant for some color, …
Have I told you guys about the huge box of vintage lace and doilies I was lucky enough to score at an estate sale a couple of months ago? Hope ya’ll are a fan, because you’ll be seeing these babies a lot over the next couple of months. I’ve already created some garlands with them (a …
One of the goals of this blog is to share new creations and additions to my own living spaces. Some days, I feel confident that not much goes on around my home that you all don’t know about. Then, other days, I look up from my kitchen table, notice a plate rack that’s been hanging …
Yesterday, I shared this post on my french chair makeover… I knew that I wanted it covered in something grain sack-ish…I love the neutral, cozy farmhouse feel of grain sacks, but after looking at them online (or, rather, the pricing of them), I quickly realized I couldn’t justify the cost for my first upholstery project. Enter my trusty go-to: …
A couple of months ago, I stopped by a new-to-me thrift store in town. $10 later, I was loading this into my car… It had some minor frame damage, but I fell in love with the casters (anyone else swoon when confronted with old furniture on casters?) and curvy lines. Half a dropcloth and several hours later, …
Happy Wednesday-before-Christmas! Eek! Hope ya’ll are enjoying the week despite your lists of things to-do, to-make, and to-bake! I was honored to have had the chance earlier this week to guest post on one of my very favorite blogs-A Blissful Nest. Rebekah asked me to post about some of the holiday decor in my home, and …
Remember my leaves and lace wreath from the Fall? I loved it so much, that I updated it for the Holidays! This came together quickly and easily during a recent movie night (The Accidental Husband-such a great movie). Like my moss-y green prop? It’s a recent thrift store find-I can’t wait to finish recovering it and share …
Have ya’ll seen the beautiful, live greenery at Trader Joe’s this season? I went the other day, and found some gorgeous swags, garlands, and wreaths-all under $10! I bought a garland, and used it on my mantel (above)… …in my china cabinet… …and on my kitchen windowsill. Other than a tree, how much live greenery …
Happy Monday! I wanted to share a work-in-progress with you all today…. Gallery walls are a bit daunting to me, but I think I like how this one is coming together. I wanted it to be slightly eclectic in look and feel, and I’m playing with elements that I haven’t tried before. Like, for example, using …
A few weeks ago, I was reading this Nester post about Charlotte’s own Bebe Gallini’s and the fabulousness contained within. I was scrolling through the images and this one caught my eye…. Hello, Ruffled Curtain Gorgeousness. I just knew that I had to have some of my own. I took my plain Jane Ikea panels, …
Well, it was inevitable, wasn’t it? After this recent post on the chicness of chicken wire, I just had to create something of my own using this rustic, simple medium. And here it is…. Part memo board, part art, and totally my style. The how-to is very simple; just paint your frame (if desired), use a …
Happy Monday, all! Flipping through a recent Crate & Barrel catalog, I came across a piece of coral art… I couldn’t help but admire it’s natural texture and Summer-inspired feel. I then remembered seeing similar coral specimens recently at Williamsburg Pottery (a trove of treasures, that place). A week or so later, I had coral in …
