Bloom where you are planted ~ spring shelfie
Happy Thursday, friends!! Yesterday was a big day for us, my boys all started online school! On Tuesday night, I told my kids to do their best to sleep in the next morning, that way we could all be rested for our first day of home school. We even stayed up really late so they’d want to sleep in, but we were hit with an earthquake that ruined that! Yep, that’s right, Utah had an earthquake on Wednesday morning that woke us all up! It was an exciting start to our first day of online school. I have to say, I am super impressed with how the teachers have worked…

Song Birds and Spring Flowers
Hi friends!!! How are y’all handling all of this craziness? It’s hard to know exactly what to think all of this. I stocked up on groceries over the weekend, and have no plans of leaving my house for a while. School has been canceled, but nothing has been sent out about what to do for homework, so we spent most of our day outside, enjoying the nice spring weather!And, of course when I’m home, I’m usually creating, because it brings me so much happiness! So while my boys were playing with their legos, I put together a fun little centerpiece for my table… Ever since I built this table riser,…

Fresh eucalyptus and rose wreath
Happy Sunday, friends!!! First of all, thank you so much for all of the love on this wreath that I made! After showing it on my hutch the other day, I got several questions about it. So today, I wanted to quickly show y’all how I made it. It was so super easy to make!! Start with a grapevine wreath …. I used this 24 inch grapevine wreath. Gather some greenery and florals. I LOVE using fresh, but faux would look amazing too. I used two bunches of fresh eucalyptus (one bunch of seeded, one regular) and one bunch of fresh pink spray roses, all of which I bought from…

French Vintage Friday ~ antique buffet turned hutch
Happy Friday, friends!! How’s everything in your neck of the woods? Is it crazy town, everyone scrambling to prepare for the Corona Virus? It’s starting to get more and more crazy here! The shelves at the stores are empty, and the schools are going to half days so the teachers can prepare for closures. It’s craziness out there! I am such a home body, so I will happily stay home for the next few weeks! Today, I am sharing one of my most beloved pieces of furniture, this hutch that I built last year. I started with the bottom piece. It is an antique buffet that came from Europe. I…

Spring is in the air ~ spring table ideas
Happy Thursday, lovelies!! I just received the sweetest salt and pepper shakers in the mail from Arthur Court , so naturally I put together a little spring-y centerpiece for my table. I could hardly wait to display this little cutie! Isn’t this the sweetest salt and pepper shaker set that you’ve ever seen? It was quite a hit at the dinner table tonight! The only down side, it is so cute that my youngest couldn’t keep his little hands off of it. He kept asking everyone to pass him salt and pepper, he’s such a funny boy! I can’t wait to use this Bunny salt & pepper hanging set on…

Simply Spring ~ easy table centerpiece ideas
Happy Sunday!! Can you believe that it’s already March!?!! Spring will soon be here! I’m so excited! Today, I have put together a super quick and easy spring table centerpiece. I started with my go-to table riser, you can click HERE to see how I made it. I added some super old, super crazed, well loved plates to a little plate holder that I recently found at IKEA for just $3!! SOURCE I {obviously} painted it white and distressed it, to match my style. And, that sweet little bunny mold!! Everyone thinks it’s old, but I actually got it at Michael’s a couple years ago. They have some similar this…

Spring Flings & Easter Things
Happy Sunday, lovelies!! While I am anxiously awaiting Spring, I have started to sprinkle a little spring happiness around my house. Starting with this little area in my family room… As many of you know, I am constantly looking for furniture to buy and refinish. It’s something that I love to do! Plus it gives me the opportunity to constantly change things up, which I also love to do! Recently, while scrolling through the Marketplace, I came across an ad for a free chair! FREE! I thought I would surely reupholster this, but as I was taking the covers off of the cushions, I realized that everything was still in…

Thrifted Treasure ~ candelabra
Happy Monday, y’all!! I’m so excited to start this week off with our monthly thrift store challenge! Every month, a group of us get together and blog about a recent thrifted find(s). I always love seeing what other people find at the thrift stores! This month I found the sweetest candelabra! I’ve been looking for a candelabra, but haven’t found one until recently, and I couldn’t be more excited!! Such a cute shape, but I wanted it more of a vintage gold color, so I added a little Rub’n Buff, in the color “gold leaf”. I also dry brushed it with just a touch of white paint. Isn’t she lovely!!…
