Would you believe, for several long weeks my mantel was completely bare? Oh it was. The fireplace makes quite a statement all on its own even bare! However leaving it bare just felt… I don’t know. Light. It wasn’t intentional. I had just been ‘borrowing’ things it had on it for elsewhere until it had nothing left! The mantel store […]
Imagine ALL your all season home decor items having the ability to magically morph into full out fall or Christmas with the snap of your fingers. Wouldn’t it be amazing to get rid of the big boxes of Christmas we only use 1 month out of the entire year? Only to use things we use every day instead? Yes… why yes it […]
A couple years back, when I first saw Kelly’s vintage sock stretchers hung on her fireplace, I literally gasped. And then when Michael created his gorgeous, upscale wood stockings on his fireplace last year, that was enough for me! That’s when I knew I had to give this wood stocking dea my own little junk styled spin. So […]
I have a post. I have a POST! 🙂 Oh it felt so good to get into the DIY spirit once again. I stayed home all day, mowed the lawn, cleaned the house, then took a wander outside to inspect the hydrangeas. We are now in fall mode, still with warm skies, but with that special […]
When we were in Hawaii last summer, we went to this little town called Paia, in Maui. It wears a true hippy vibe, with patchwork buildings, tall looming rustic trees, with plenty of dreadlocks and bare toes for good measure. So when I whipped up this little window box, it yelled BOHO! Or maybe it […]
Watch out world… I’m in a colour-less mood. Even more so than normal. 🙂 This can change at any given moment of course! Once the Sleigh Rides Christmas mantel came down, the mantel actually sat bare for awhile. A reset, if you will. I was just done seeing ‘stuff’. What was so attractive about ‘bare?’ Invisible. Didn’t […]
Do you ever story tell with your decorating? Let’s get into that in a big way in a moment. But first… Today is soooo exciting! This post is part of a MASSIVE Christmas blog hop, hosted by Hometalk.com (find my work on HT HERE) and CountryLiving.com where home and garden bloggers from all over are sharing their brand new […]
I have often shared my dream of having my own lake front cabin. I’m also kinda blessed to have a rock floor to ceiling fireplace that could be in a cabin. So I decided to celebrate fall… Cabin Resort style this year! But there’s more… Today I’m teaming up with a TON of other desperately artistic […]
My poor fireplace mantel. It hasn’t been changed out since I did this version with the dried brown hydrangeas. During winter! Can you tell I’m not huge on seasonal decorating? 🙂 I honestly would have just left it, but the metal containers were really dusty and it needed a good clean. Plus I wanted to summerize […]
This post was a little bittersweet to make. My beloved upcycled dollhouse is now a wrap, and will go off to a place that works with children soon. But as promised, here’s a post that’s ALL about how the furniture was made from wood scraps and thrift store finds. I’m glad I had a reason […]
