This month, we’re sharing the basics of styling a summer tablescape…

Here’s a look at how we repurposed old fencing with a simple hack…
As some of you may know my grandparents passed away in March of this year and a few weeks ago we met as a family to go through my Granny’s estate. We used to spend a lot of time in the kitchen together baking and making biscuits so some of the pieces I treasured most were found in the kitchen. I’m excited to say, I was able to bring home a few these items and I’m on a mission to make sure I take extra special care of them. Here’s a look at how you can condition wooden spoons and cutting boards in a few easy steps….

We spent most of last week completely checked out and trying to find simple ways to celebrate each day. I’ve come to understand there are no perfect seasons. There are only perfect moments we have to capture and hold onto and store away to help us through the tough times…
I had every intention of sharing projects related to the kitchen this week but a trip to the vet’s office late Friday afternoon changed everything…
I want to share with you how to easily stencil a pillow cover. If you had a chance to see yesterday’s post, you’ve already seen the canvas drop cloth we dyed to look like washed linen. I stenciled them last week so I could use them in the breakfast nook. Here’s a look at how you can stencil your own pillow covers too…
Last year, we dyed a large canvas drop cloth to use as a base for the stenciled curtains in our dining room. Those curtains have been one of our favorite DIYs and we still have them hanging in our dining room today.
