December 28, 2017

Hi friends! While I don’t have a brand new upcycle or DIY to share today, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a Happy New Year. I started this blog 6 years ago, and had absolutely no idea what direction it might go or where I would be years later. Having this…

December 17, 2017

Most years I find myself digging thru each and every box and bin for every last ornament and all the Christmas decor the house can hold. You know you have more than enough ornaments when you can no longer see the tree. This year seems to be different. I finished the home office, and brought…

I have not a confession or a secret to tell you, but a statement. It’s a statement because anyone who knows me knows I forget things sometimes. Or I…

December 4, 2017

  Well before Thanksgiving I had visions of creating a spot in our home to read, relax, and enjoy the season away from it all. Enter my home office which is STILL going thru what seems to be a three year makeover, but we put that on hold to enjoy the most wonderful time of…

DIY Galvanized Plate Chargers

November 26, 2017

  I have always wanted a set of beautiful plate chargers, especially for the holidays. And, being a thrifty mama I have had a really hard time justifying the price tag to amass enough of these to create a full place setting around our farmhouse table. I have thought of picking them up at Dollar…

How to make a wooden wall sconce-fixer upper style

October 27, 2017

Remember the left over pre-fab white bead board from the back of the farmhouse church pew?     Yep, we found a way to use the last of it. I have wanted to make something I can hang these Mason jar holders on for quite a while, but to date have just incorporated them on…

Farmhouse style church pew before + after

September 17, 2017

  We all seem have that thing (or twenty things) that we are looking for. It might be the perfect long dresser to turn into a buffet. The missing piece of china to complete the set we have worked on collecting for years. Or, in this case the church pew. The pew that eluded me,…

How to dry hydrangeas + slowing your roll

August 27, 2017

How to make a God’s Eye wall hanging

August 20, 2017

First off I must say that I do not crochet or knit.  My daughter does and she is amazing. The skill is not in my wheelhouse, but I sure do like to buy yarn. Aisle after aisle of different textures and every color you could dream of. I have the hardest time with yarn, it’s…
