I've been dying to make some of these velvet pumpkins for the last two years, but just never had the time to try them. Stupid, stupid, stupid. They only take about 10 minutes each to make and are about as easy a craft as you've ever seen. I could have been swimming in velvet pumpkins...
Spooky Thrift Store Finds
Don't these two Halloween pieces have the greatest vintage vibe? I bought them both at a thrift store last week. The pumpkin on the left is not a thrift store find. He was jealous of the giant pumpkin on the front porch and insisted on being in this photo shoot. This kitty cat has a...
A Simple Fall Front Porch
Sometimes when you are blogging, you tend to go a little overboard in decorating. Fall front porch ideas get a little over the top and the next thing you know you're building a full size replica of Lizzie Borden's parlor on your front porch for Halloween. It's just a hazard of the job. So in...
Simple Sundays
I stopped at the farm market and picked up some apples this week. Gala apples. I'll be honest here. I normally don't buy Gala apples. I normally buy Golden Delicious apples. I love Golden Delicious. I have dreams about Golden Delicious. Golden Delicious apples are like candy to me. Did I make it clear that...
Festive Fall Planter Box
Today I am showing you a very quick and easy way to decorate a fall planter box. This sits about two feet from my front door and normally I would hang a wreath on the door and throw some gourds in the planter and call it a day. But this year, I decided to decorate...
A Bushel And A Peck
I bought this wooden bushel basket the other day for my front porch. I had seen some much more expensive vintage ones on etsy that I loved ♥ ♥ ♥, but wasn't willing to pay the price for. The one thing the vintage ones had in common was a cool weathered label on them. So...
Office Decorating Thrift Store Style
I've wanted to show you my office for a while now, but that means getting out the vacuum cleaner and the dust rag and my office is about the last thing in the house that actually gets cleaned. But miracles do happen and I finally got enough time to toss out the 14 Coke Zero...
Separated At Birth
I found this toolbox at an antique mall not far from here. I fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it. I love the dark farmish green color and general rustiness of it. It will be great to put in my office to organize more of my junk. When I...
Burlap Mod Podge Project
A few years ago we had a flood in our basement. We live in a high water table area, I guess you would call it, and if something happens to the sump pumps (plural, yes, we have two sump pumps - one as a backup), we are in deep doo-doo. Well, not doo-doo exactly, just...
