Bedroom Christmas Decor & my new Vintage Inspired Rug
Hi again!! Two blog posts in one day! I have gotten so far behind, and have so much to blog about, so it might be two blog posts some days. I’ve been so busy getting ready for the holidays! So much cleaning to do! As I get my home ready for the holidays, and prepare for guests to arrive, I love to make every room in my house feel fresh, festive and cozy.

Thrifted Treasure – vintage dining table turned coffee table
Happy Monday, friends!!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!! Today, I’m so excited for our monthly thrift store challenge!! For my thrifted treasure, I found a small antique drop leaf table, for just $20! I’ve been looking for a cute coffee table for a few weeks now, but haven’t found the perfect one.

I love how visible the wood grain is, even through the paint. I am absolutely loving this…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage sheet music
Hi again! Did you like the “surprise box challenge” that we shared this morning? I thought it was such a fun challenge! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I love to incorporate into my holiday decor each year, vintage sheet music. I simply rolled sheets of vintage music, tied each roll with gold twine, and taped each one to the wall, using painters tape. Such a simple idea, but adds such a fun touch! Let’s hop over and see what Tara is sharing today! Simply click on the picture below… Sending lots of love to you all!! Happy weekend!! -Emily

DIY Winter Village
Hi friends!!! I hope you’re having a good week! Can you believe Thanksgiving is just about two weeks away! Christmas is going to be here before we know it! Today, for our weekly Christmas DIY, both Tara and I are sharing how we have transformed basic paper maché houses. I absolutely LOVE these sweet little houses! There are so many great ideas out there of how to transform these cuties. For mine, I kept it simple. I started by priming the houses… I then chalk painted the houses, leaving the roofs natural…. Using glue and glass glitter, I covered the roofs with a glistening sparkle! Click HERE for the glass…

Thrifted Treasure ~ perfectly patinaed tool box
Happy Thursday, friends!!! It’s time for our monthly thrift store challenge! Yay! For all those that don’t know, I am a true procrastinator! Just yesterday, I was starting to stress because I had not gotten anything for this month’s thrift store challenge. Then, out of the blue, my little brother stopped by and brought me the cutest tool box. He had recently found it at a thrift store, and knew I would love it! It was a miracle! I now had the perfect piece to use for the thrift store challenge! Some people might not use a tool box on their entryway table, but I couldn’t resist! Perfect patina deserves…

Anthropologie Inspired Christmas Ornaments
Happy Wednesday, friends!!! Today, Tara and I are each sharing a holiday DIY. For my DIY, I transformed some basic, plastic ornaments. Here’s my inspiration picture…. These darling ornaments are from Anthropologie. I love the gold detail! Here is my, much less expensive, version… I started with plastic ornaments from Walmart, white and green matte spray paint, and gold paint… I only used the ornaments that had cute details. The plain, and also the glittered ornaments, wouldn’t work for this project. I took the tops off of each ornament, and spray painted them, some green, some white. I painted the raised details of each ornament with the gold paint. Before…

Fall/Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas
Happy Sunday, friends!! I hope y’all are enjoying this beautiful fall weekend! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here! I love creating tablescapes! I usually create a few different fall/thanksgiving tablescapes leading up to the big day, and then create my final version the night before, that way I won’t have to stress about it on the actual day. You may remember this tablescape that I created a last year…. And then changed it up, just a bit, with this eucalyptus and foraged berry runner down the center of the table. I made it by simply layering eucalyptus and some foraged berries down the center, no wiring required! I…
