If you’ve been around Pinterest for any length of time, chances are you’ve seen photos of mugs, bowls, and plates decorated with Sharpies. This looked like a fun project to try so I did a bit of research before decorating dessert plates with Sharpies. I found some really helpful information that’s critical to the success…

Last week I shared decorating ideas for achieving the farmhouse look in your home, and today I have even more farmhouse style to share with you. But this time, it comes in the form of a book that I’m giving away! One of my goals in 2015 is to host more giveaways. It’s my way…
One thing I love about vintage bottles is they’re extremely versatile when it comes to decorating. They look pretty all on their own, and they make a visual impact when grouped together. I have several types of old bottles … clear, aqua, altered, milk bottles, etc. I change them out from time to time, putting…

I keep telling myself I’m going to make some pillows. I buy the fabric, I have the pillow forms, but yet I never seem to pull the trigger. Instead, I search for store-bought pillows at the last minute to complete the look of a room. Lucky for me, several of my bloggy friends have pillow…
Over the years of decorating several homes I’ve lived in, I never really thought of myself as having an affinity for farm style. I just know I like quirky old houses and vintage finds. Since living in my current home, where the streets of town meet the country roads, I find myself drawn more and more to farm…
I’ve wanted to make a pom pom garland for quite a while now and you’ve probably seen a tutorial or two for these. I’ve read a few myself but ended up tweaking the tutorials after practicing to make it just a wee bit easier to do … ’cause I’m all about easy. After I took my…

Happy New Year!! Hopefully you didn’t party too much last night. During my 2014 Christmas home tour I shared my new white sectional, but I didn’t share much of the background story with you. For months I had been thinking about getting a new sectional. When it comes to furniture, I’m always shy to pull…
One of my good friends is a huge fan of eggplant, which leaves me completely baffled. I’ve had Eggplant Parmesan a couple times and am just not a fan. I got to thinking maybe it isn’t the eggplant itself that I don’t like … maybe I just don’t like it breaded and fried. So I…
The other day I saw a canvas bag that said “Farm Market” on it and I thought … why not create a similar bag for my monthly trips to our local flea market? The vendors always put your items into plastic grocery bags and I’m always afraid they’re going to rip while shopping. A canvas bag…
