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…

French Vintage Friday – make your own vintage inspired bread boards
Happy Friday, friends!! I hope you all had a great week! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I recently made, vintage inspired bread boards. I’ve seen some amazing collections of these lovely boards, but when it comes to actually finding some, that’s hard to do! So what could I do? Make my own! For these boards, I used a basic, one inch thick, pine board purchased from Lowe’s. I started by deciding how wide I wanted the handle to be. I ended up making it two inches wide. I cut one side, and then used my cutout to stencil the other side. After both sides are cut,…

simple fall table centerpiece
Happy Monday, friends!!! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Today, I wanted to quickly show y’all this simple and easy fall table decor. I started with my favorite white table runner. This table runner is far too long for my table, which I like. It leaves extra fabric to bunch up in the center of the table. I then cut a few fall leaves and found a cute bucket/metal container at Hobby Lobby. When arranging fresh florals/greenery inside a container such as this, make sure to put another container inside. I put a glass container/vase inside the bucket to arrange my leaves in. You’d hate to fill this…

Goodbye summer, Hello autumn! – bedroom mantel
Happy Monday!! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!! Today, Tara and I, are showing y’all how we have each decorated the mantel in our master bedroom for fall. I started by gluing, using hot glue, my DIY autumn garland to my mantel, then added a couple vintage books, some pumpkins, eucalyptus, and flowers. I wrapped small grapevine wreaths around the three center pumpkins. I simply unraveled a grapevine wreath and then wrapped it around the pumpkins for a little added texture. I also added just a few flowers to the wrapped pumpkins. So easy, unique, and fun! For flowers, I used wax flowers, protea, and pink spray roses. I’m…

Abundant Autumn – kitchen shelves
Hi friends!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Can you believe it’s September!! Fall is almost here! Today, Tara and I, are sharing some fall decor ideas for the kitchen. My kitchen is the busiest place in the house (four boys!!!) so I like to keep the countertop decor to a minimum, and focus on decorating the shelves. This year I’m going for super simple, minimal touches of fall. Just a few faux pumpkins, that I replaced the stems on, using little twigs that I cut from a grapevine wreath. I also added warmer tones by adding these DIY bread boards (which I will post about soon) I filled…
