Do you guys ever have those moments where you feel really rich and it has nothing to do with money? Having lots of mums on the front porch for fall feels like such a luxury to me. It’s something I look forward to every year. Just seeing that little burst of color as I walk down the walkway makes me happy. Welcome to my fall inspired front porch tour…
It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains had caused the front door to become faded and worn. It made my whole porch look tired. I’ve tried a lot of different paints over the past few months but there’s been one paint in particular I’ve wanted to try. Enter Modern Masters, Front Door Paint.
I was a little apprehensive about bringing my vintage wicker furniture from the front porch to the back patio. The patio gets a good amount of sun and is open to the elements. I was totally shocked at the shape they were in after only 4 months. Here are a few tips on how to clean outdoor wicker furniture…
Once I finished this vintage inspired apple picking sign, I knew I would use apples throughout the house as part of my fall décor. At first, I couldn’t decide where I wanted to use the sign. I tried it outside on the porches and then finally decided to try it on the mantel. It’s been there ever since. Here’s how all of the details of the Fall Inspired Mantel came together…
Today I’m collaborating with some of my favorite bloggers for a Fall Blog Hop featuring tabletops and mantels. It’s been so much fun to see all of the creative fall décor around blogland these past few weeks. Welcome to my fall inspired dining room…
A few weeks ago, I found this four-drawer dresser at an estate sale. I’ve painted so many pieces of furniture in Duck Egg lately I started looking for other paint colors that would have a marine feel. I combined two colors of mineral based furniture paint to create a coastal blue and weather inspired dresser makeover. Here’s how it all came together…
This small table and bar stools isn’t the type of thing I usually purchase but I knew it could be used so many different ways. It didn’t really need much of a makeover but I wanted to brighten up the base without changing the top. I chose Rust- oleum’s indoor/outdoor spray paint for metal in white to paint the base.
A few months ago my Mom found a kitchen island she LOVED. But it was several thousand dollars over budget. I know, right? My Dad promised he could build her an island she would love just as much.
As I shared earlier this week, I’ve been coming home with lots of goodies lately. This dresser was one of several pieces of furniture I’ve been excited to find. Given there is only one piece of furniture left in my booth at The Pickers Market painted in what has become a signature color, I knew this duck egg painted dresser would be a big hit. Wait until you see the before picture, it doesn’t even look like the same piece.
Have you ever noticed how quickly the refrigerator can become messy? Each morning when I would grab my favorite coffee creamer I noticed more and more how things were piling up in there. Given that my schedule has been kind of crazy lately, I’m committed to corralling the clutter before it gets out of control. Here’s how I tamed the mess by organizing the refrigerator with budget friendly baskets…
I was out treasure hunting one day last week when I found an awesome rug. It was rolled up and taped up yet even though I could only see the corner of the rug the pattern was perfection. The price was amazing. So, I decided to take the chance and bring it home to clean it. Here are a few tips cleaning a thrifted area rug…
One of my favorite projects was a set of Driftwood Inspired Trail Signs I made for the home office. We were looking for a way to incorporate fun memories from our many hikes and they were a perfect fit. With summer winding down I thought I would share with you how easy they are to make in case you want to make some too. They’re a simple way to highlight meaningful moments, favorite travel destinations, or even significant dates in your home.
