If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you have probably already figured out, I adore baskets. Seriously, I use them in every room in the house. They help me contain everything from magazines, to blankets, to flowers and pantry items. While I’ve mostly used them as utilitarian pieces, recently I’ve embraced decorating with baskets for their beauty. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you love baskets too…
There are a few questions I receive on a pretty regular basis…how do I decorate my mantel…almost always tops the list. Mantels can definitely be tricky. Whatever the situation you’re facing with the mantels in your spaces right now, here are a few tips to help you not only create a mantel for summer but for the upcoming seasons as well.
A couple of weeks ago, my mom came over to help me refresh a few rooms around the house. So far, we’ve worked on one of the bedrooms the entry and the dining room. There haven’t been any major changes rather budget friendly, decorative changes that make a big impact in each space. This summer season, I wanted to highlight the simple sophistication of the magnolia tree and the sweet smelling flowers found on their flowing branches.
As I’ve shared with you guys this week, once we finished the office makeover I was ready to dive into giving the adjoining spaces a little refresh too. Here are a few budget friendly changes you can make to help achieve a big impact when decorating your bedroom…
We were nearing the end of the One Room Challenge, when we decided to update the suite of rooms connected to the office. Here’s a look at how we gave the dressers in the bedroom a budget friendly makeover by creating a color wash.
The entry…you guys…can we just talk about the entry for a second? It’s gone through so many changes. There were parts of each set up I’ve really liked over the years but honestly none of them were ever that functional. Here’s a look at how we married a few thrifted finds, created a seating area, and made the entry not only functional but also consistent with the layered neutrals we have in the rest of the house…
So, after we got the headboard turned bench for the entry completed, it looked a little plain. Ok, so it looked a lot plain. It needed a bench seat pad to add a bit of softness to the mix. Here’s a look at how we stained drop cloths with coffee to achieve a layered neutral look in the entry…
We spent part of the weekend crafting a bench for the entry from my childhood headboard and footboard. I wasn’t really ready to let the pieces go yet we just didn’t have room for any of it in the garage. Here’s a look at how we saved this sentimental piece…
I hope you guys all had a fun and rest filled weekend. We caught up on a few projects around the house, enjoyed lazy meals, Memorial Day celebrations and the Florida sun. It’s been a busy and productive month which is always exciting. Here are a few things we’ve been up to…
While I use a lot of neutrals at home, my booth at The Pickers Market is filled with coastal inspired items and furniture pieces painted in customer favorites like Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg. It’s a very calming color that can be used in a variety of different styles because it has a great vintage color quality. Here’s a look at a few makeovers we’ve completed using Duck Egg…
About this time last year, I made a First Aid Cabin sign as part of the summer inspired mantel. It was really easy to make so I thought I would add a coastal inspired version to my booth space at The Pickers Market this year. All you need is a little bit of time, a few supplies you probably already have at home and a piece of scrap wood and you can make a coastal inspired first aid cabin sign too….
Do you guys remember last year when wood slices were “it?” There were gorgeous wood slice projects all over the internet. They were everywhere! I was lucky enough to find this lazy susan when I was giving a woodlands themed party last year. We used it off and on when entertaining for a few months but the orange tint/tannin always bothered me. Here’s a look at how we gave an easy update for an 80s style lazy susan that’s perfect for summer entertaining.
