My parents bought a “new” house last year and have been making it a home ever since. I absolutely love everything about their new place. One of the best parts, I’ve been able to help my mom with lot’s of the decorating. Which in turn, ultimately, means spending a ton of time together. Who doesn’t love that?! Through this journey together we are always keeping our eyes out for the perfect decor pieces that would look great for her home, be it old or new.
My mom loves all things coastal but she lives no where near the beach. Her home is completely landlocked. Dilemma…How do you add that coastal beach feel without going overboard? I’m always leery when adding decor that doesn’t quite fit the region where I live. I think it can be done as long as you use an editing eye. Since we were needing to feel a blank spot in her family room, I decided this bench would be the perfect way to add a little of that beach vibe.

So, in the process of cleaning up the mess and placing items back where they belonged, I thought wow I use a lot of vintage enamelware for storage in my craft room….hmm. Can you see the light bulb going off above my head? I got to thinking I could write a post on ways to use those vintage finds as craft room storage. As the idea is percolating in my head and I’m still cleaning the craft room and tidying up around the house, I realized…whoa! I have an enamelware obsession! The stuff is in almost every room of my house! So the idea of a blog post on how to use enamelware as craft room storage has now grown into how enamelware can be upcycled and used everywhere in your house! Continue reading
At this time I don’t have any current projects so I figured this would be a good time to build up the archives. So I’m gonna do some post of older projects!
My sister-in-law and myself did a room makeover for my niece Natalie. The makeover was a surprise for her birthday and she loved it! As you know I like to do everything on a budget. The basis of the whole project started with the comforter which my sister-in-law found at a yard sale. Continue reading
My sister in-law needed help with a John Deere inspired nursery so I went to work…The first item up was to find the fabric. I knew once we found the perfect John Deere fabric we could base everything else in the room around that. Continue reading
