When you walk through my house I doubt you would describe it as coastal décor. Traditionally speaking it’s not. But the real story behind my home’s color palette is 100% coastal. You might just say a little birdie told me which direction to take! Next week I will share ALL my home’s paint colors and more…
create a gorgeous mercury glass diy from grocery store finds. It’s summer and that puts a little crunch on the mom schedule. I like to change out décor and work on projects but with three pair of feet scurrying around it gets tough to find the time. So today I am so excited to join…
Today I’m sprucing up a wooden serving tray I got for a dollar at a local flea market. I’ve been eyeing all the gorgeous furniture I’ve been seeing gussied up with napkin print. Have you seen some? It looks as if some amazingly talented artist hand painted a beautiful pattern that has aged and worn…
I came across this dirty old lamp shade at a garage sale the other day. It set me back $1. Admittedly, I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but it had good bones that spoke to me. Good bones really are the key to seeing diamonds…
It’s summer time and that means one thing at our house. Sibling rivalry is full blown. I am not sure I will ever understand the extent of ugliness that can spew out of their mouths towards each other and then, within minutes, they would take a bullet for one another. My sisters are much older…
We’ve all been there at some point. Sitting in a house we don’t love. Just biding our time until we can move. Things will be better when we have more space, a bigger yard, an updated kitchen or _____ (fill in the blank with your dream). We sit. Held captive by our home. Temporarily immobilized….
Summer is a fun and cheery time to be outside doing outside things! I wanted to incorporate the outside into a fun patriotic DIY project that anyone could do for fun 4th of July decor This month my Junk Visionary friends are all bringing you a fresh new patriotic project to enjoy. My husband and…
I couldn’t leave our little lady out of the picket fence crafting craze happening at our house! Our greyhound Gigi needed a little piece of the picket action so I hooked her up this week! You guys might be getting tired of this pile of old fence pickets I inherited, but they are a constant…
It’s officially summer according to me. June 1st is the starting line to summer in my head. The kids still have a few days of school left and the solstice calendar won’t declare it for a few more weeks, but today is my go day. To kick it off I’m sharing the Hunt & Host…
Magnolia Market in Waco is the go to store to get the fresh Fixer Upper look made famous by Chip & Joanna Gaines. The fun thing about farmhouse fresh is it’s attainability. You can get the look on any budget. Here are a few projects to help you infuse the Magnolia Market look into your home! Start…
I might be a little bit excited about my latest project. I’ve been dreaming of an outdoor party buffet table for a while now… Before I get to the details I want to warn you about the projects you’ll find listed at the bottom of this post. They are beautiful. And you will want to…
Today I have the best decorating question to ask yourself. Really, it’s a game changer. You may be familiar with the popular 90’s phrase WWJD? (What would Jesus do?) This thought provoking question aimed to direct your moral compass was written on bumper stickers and bracelets everywhere for a long spell in the 1990’s. It’s…
I’m kind of an entertainment junky. There isn’t much I love more than taking my kids to a movie or watching one at home with them. Snuggling up on the couch with a home décor magazine is blissful. I have piles of useless movie trivia and celebrity stats stacked in my head. I’ve been that…
What to do when you don’t want to paint your dining room chairs, but you don’t love them as is: There is a lot of talk about painted furniture around this place. I truly love it. But every once and a while there is furniture you’re hesitant to change so dramatically. I always have to laugh when…
Five Minute Farmhouse Idea: Fence Picket Flower Vase We all have different love languages and being thought of speaks to my heart the loudest. Just knowing I cross someone’s mind in a day makes me feel warm and fuzzy. When my friend text to say she had a huge pile of fence pickets from her…
