I have wanted a bar cart for a while now. Something that was my speed, a little shabby and a little glam. A nod to the 70’s is always good too. And I didn’t want to pay hardly anything for it, because well the thrill of the hunt is the hunt itself, the find and…

Christmas old + new
Sometimes sprinkling a few new treasures along with our favorites sure does refresh what we already have for the holidays.

Washed canvas pumpkins + early fall
It didn’t take much for the Fall Bug to hit hard here at casa twelveOeight. One rainy afternoon and a couple fall Scentsy cubes and I found myself going thru my fall decor in the garage… Pinning some casseroles… And thinking up a new way to ease our home into early fall without too…
