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,…

Happy Monday, friends!!! Today, I’m so excited to be joined by a few friends for our monthly thrift store challenge. I found a darling table that I was going to redo, but I ran out of time. Thankfully, I also found a tureen. It’s not old, but I still really like it! I decided to use it on the shelf in my kitchen. I took pictures of the shelf styling process, so you can get a sense of how I go about it. I started by filling the the tureen with pinecones.

Happy Thursday, friends!!! Today, Tara and I, are each sharing a fun fall DIY! For my DIY, I decided to make a “man in the moon” sign. I’ve seen a lot of signs like this around the blog world and instagram, but they always sell out so fast and I can’t seem to get my hands on one, so I decided to make one! To start with, I bought this graphic from Etsy for just $3!!! Click HERE to get your own graphic to make this sign. Next, I asked my husband to enlarge the graphic to an 18 inch circle.

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…
