I seriously cannot contain my excitement for my latest thrift store find…. Eeee! On a spur of the moment decision, I stopped by our local thrift store. I scoped out the downstairs and then made my way upstairs (YES, our thrift store does have 2 floors… AND I live in a small town…?!). I had […]
I recently decided to change the mudroom coat rack/ frame. I was ready for it to say something besides “Home” and Something more like: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Totally original, I know, but numbers are so classic and timeless. I mean, they’ve been around forever. 😉 I really didn’t want to spend any money […]

A while back I grabbed this little bench for free. We needed something for the mudroom ASAP, so I gave it a fast makeover. It served its purpose well, but I’ve been craving a little bit different look. While I didn’t mind the overall vibe of the bench, I was tired of the “permanently summer-ish” […]

When we bought our farm, we inherited a ton of fencing that needed removed. The first few months while our house was being built, Anthony and I spent every night and weekend with the tractor pulling out metal stake after metal stake. And between all those metal stakes was wire mesh fencing. At the time, […]

This DIY Spoon & Pallet Hook Rack is the perfect up-cycle project! See how I bent spoons and used a leftover pallet to create this project. Happy $30 Thursday to ya! AND… SURPRISE… April and I added the fabulous Jen from Migonis Home to join in on the $30 Thursday fun too! Yay! I’m sharing […]
Another month gone, and what a busy month it was! Just in case you missed something, here’s March in review. 🙂 I started the month by ending my mini series showing how simple it is to add meaning to your home. Then Anthony and I accomplished a project that had been on the “to-do” list […]
Happy Friday! I’ve been trying to spruce up our entryway. It’s felt a little lackluster to me lately. We desperately needed a new rug. I’d been itching to paint the entry table and I’m still trying to convince Anthony that this weekend is the weekend to swap out the light fixture for the one he […]
I’ve been one busy lady. Between trying to reupholster my first wingback chair (more on that later…), making pillow covers for the breakfast nook and working on other projects, my spare time has been limited to ZERO! But I am totally not complaining! Love this life! 🙂 My house does need cleaned though… thank goodness […]

It’s no secret that we have several rooms “in progress”. For the most part, I hate leaving rooms partially finished or deemed as a “construction zone” for too long (they make me crazy), but I think they turn out the best when they evolve over time. Sure, I have a plan and inspiration for each […]
We have this pantry door. Before we moved in I decided to paint it Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore. It gave the mudroom a perfect punch of color, but also distinguished which door was the pantry. Several months later, I still love that blue door but wanted to spice it up even more. Fore a […]
