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!!…

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…

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…

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…

French vintage Friday ~ vintage Valentine’s Day cards
Happy Friday, friends!!! It’s been such a busy two weeks, having my boys out of school for the holidays, and now with our new puppy! It’s been so much fun, but a little chaotic at times.

I haven’t gotten much done around my house lately, my Christmas decor is still mostly up, which is fine, because I’ve enjoyed every moment with my sweet boys and our new puppy. Today, I’m sharing something that I love to collect, vintage cards. They are such a sweet way to add a little extra something to a shelves,…

Blogging keeps me super busy, and pushes me to finish more projects than I would, if I weren’t blogging. It keeps my creative side alive. And, of course, I get to connect with so many like minded souls, which I love! Let’s take a…

French vintage Friday ~ alabaster lamps
Happy Friday, y’all! It’s the last weekend before Christmas! Can you believe it!! So much to do, and so little time! Every year, I promise myself to be more organized, and every year I’m not! Maybe next year! Today, for French vintage Friday, I’m sharing my love for alabaster lamps! I have loved them since the day I laid eyes on one at an antique mall, while on vacation. Their classic, vintage beauty has my heart! This beauty, that my husband found for me, on the marketplace, is one of my absolute favorites!! And, of course, I have a pair of alabaster lamps in my bedroom too. Now, let’s hop…
