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!!…

Creating a cozy and inviting space
Happy Sunday, sweet friends! How’s your weekend going? We finally got some snow this week. My boys even had a snow day! While the snow magically fell from the sky, we spent the day in our pajamas, snuggled under warm blankets, with candles lit, and enjoyed being in our cozy house. It was such a perfect day!! Creating cozy spaces is always so important to me, especially during these cold winter months, when we spend so much time indoors. When trying to create a cozy space, I naturally think of lots of cozy textures, throw pillows, blankets, etc. Fresh/natural elements, such as fresh greenery, flowers, and/or house plants. Also, cozy…

Quick and Easy Tablescape Ideas
Happy Thursday, friends!!! Today I’m sharing a few tips and tricks that I have found super helpful when creating a tablescape. Before I started using the trick that I’m about to share with y’all, I rarely ever put tablescapes/centerpieces on my table. It was always such a hassle to take all of the elaborate decor down when it was time to have dinner, and if I did keep it on the table, it would have been completely destroyed by the end of the meal….four boys! What’s this magic trick, you’re wondering? Using a riser to put your centerpiece on! Easy, right!! I built this simple wood riser, last year. Click…

Rustic meets pretty ~ Valentine’s Day tablescape
Happy Sunday, sweet friends!! Can you believe it is already February! Spring will be here before we know it! I am so excited! But, before we move on to all things spring, let’s talk Valentine’s Day. The other day, I received the most beautiful butter dish that I have ever laid eyes on! As soon as I unwrapped it, I knew that it would be perfect on a beautiful/rustic Valentine’s Day table! Look at those details, they are stunning, and the craftsmanship is impeccable! It is the Provencal Butter Dish from Vagabond House. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a butter dish that I like as much, not even close!…

Be sure to check out the other girls that are participating this month, their links are at the end of this post. My finds… And… A set of two vintage sconces for just 4.99!! I was so excited! And these sweet little heart doilies are so charming! For the sconces, I knew that I wanted to hang them on the wall in the upstairs hallway. I first needed to figure out how to mount them on the wall without making huge holes that I’d have to patch later, if I decided to move…

Love is in the air ~ Valentine’s Day Decor
Happy Thursday, friends!! Today, I, along with Tara, are sharing a few ideas on how to add simple Valentine’s Day decor to you home. It’s easy to get carried away with all the reds and pinks around this time of year, but for me, I’m trying to keep it simple and neutral this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love red and pink for Valentine’s Day decor, I just don’t want use too much of it. I started in the kitchen… These shelves are always one of my favorite places to add a few festive touches. I kept it simple with a few vintage heart shaped cookie cutters, this metal…
