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.
You may remember I picked up three pieces of furniture the weekend of July 4th. While I was at Haven the only piece of furniture in my booth I had painted Duck Egg sold. So, it was an easy decision to paint this cabinet in the coastal color is that has become a signature in my booth.
Since the July 4th weekend was a long one, I was able to steal an extra day and travel a few towns over to find a few new treasure haunts. I fell in love with this dresser as soon as I saw it. Given my love for all things neutral, this French Linen Painted Dresser is going to be really hard to take to my booth at The Pickers Market. Here are all the details of how this dresser came together…
The very minute I put the roller of paint saturated with Valspar’s Quail Egg onto the wall and watched the paint fill the textured grooves I felt at peace. As I shared yesterday this room has gone through so many changes. In order to create a space that truly felt serene I only left the bits that I truly loved. Here are how all of the elements of the neutrals inspired bedroom makeover came together.
This shabby chic inspired bedroom. Wow. So many changes. The walls have been painted 4 different colors. Every time I decorated it, I immediately wanted to change it and that should have been my first clue my style was evolving and moving in a completely different direction.
A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to be able to haul some new pieces of furniture home. One of the dressers was perfect for a new brand of paint my parents bought me to try out this past Christmas. Since most of my customers prefer shades of sea glass, I decided to give it a go. Here are the details of how the Maison Blanche Painted Dresser came together.
This past weekend I was listening to the weather report. The estimated temperature was a balmy 96 degrees. If that wasn’t hot enough the weatherman added one last note, “It’s going to feel like 105 degrees.” As soon as I heard the report, I got out my vintage Pyrex tea pitcher and decided to make sweet peppermint sun tea.
The same day my mom and I worked to complete the neutral inspired chair transformation for Loblolly Manor, we started working on a set of chairs for one of my sisters. She bought these chairs at a recent yard sale for a whopping $10 and while I was at her house a few weeks ago she asked me to give them a coastal inspired makeover.
One of my favorite features of the bedroom is the headboard we made from an old mantel. The mantel was a steal at $10. This is how we made my mantel to headboard dream a reality.
We’ve heard it said so many times shop your house first to give your spaces a fresh look. I wasn’t sure that was always possible but in the past few weeks, I’ve been completely amazed at the “free” transformation. This bathroom makeover is no exception.
