I inherited a box of vintage magazines with interesting covers. To display the covers, I used an old window. My friend gave me two windows from Black Dog Salvage (read about my family connection to Black Dog here) and after seeing them, I knew that I’d use one for wall decor. I used the window…
Can you believe that it is Christmas week? I can’t! It seems like it was just Thanksgiving and now we are just days away from Christmas. I’ve got a real treat for you today. Last week I shared four homes that were part of the Waynesboro, VA Christmas Homes Tour and today I’m sharing the…
Are you in the Christmas spirit? I sure am! Today I’m sharing a Christmas home tour that I attended a few weekends ago in the historic tree street area of Waynesboro, Virginia. I’ve admired all of these homes for years while walking the tree streets with my mom and looked forward to seeing the inside…
Has your December been full of Christmas activities? Mine sure has. This weekend my mom, aunt, cousin, and my sweet friend Megan went on a Christmas home tour in Waynesboro, VA. The homes were all historic and decorated for Christmas. I took some pictures and hope to share the homes with your next week. On…
Who Doesn’t like getting Christmas ideas? I know that I do! This week I’ve teamed up with some blogging friends to share great ideas for Christmas. Today is wreath day. If you are a regular to my blog then you know that I love to make wreaths. I come by it honestly as I can’t…
I am so glad that it is December and the holiday season. I’m delighted to join a fabulous group of blogging friends to share spaces that welcome others to our homes. For us, welcoming others to our home starts outside. We go for a classic southern look with candles in the windows, a lighted…
Can you believe that I’m already thinking about Thanksgiving? In just 24 days it will be here! Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love being with family, love the decor, and of course, love the food! Although we won’t actually enjoy Thanksgiving at our home, I’ve made a centerpiece to celebrate…
After the 4th of July, I took down my patriotic wreath and challenged myself to make a summer wreath without spending a dime. I use my wreath forms over and over and after I tire of a wreath’s look, I remove the decorations, saving the florals that still look good, and of course saving the…
I recently spent a week at Nags Head with my mom and niece and admired this home every time we drove past it. I could tell that it had been moved and I wanted to see and know more. It was close to the cottage that my mom rented for us, so one day I…
Being out of school has meant that I’ve had time to enjoy doing things around the house including decorating for July 4. My mantel is decked out for the 4th using mostly vintage or vintage inspired items. I started my patriotic mantel decorating by hanging a vintage “Old Glory” print over the fireplace. Believe…
Even though July 4 is still several weeks away, I can’t resist decorating early for this important holiday. Our front door has a new wreath for Independence Day, an Easy Patriotic Wreath that I crafted from fleece. Easy Patriotic Wreath I love to decorate our house patriotically for Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4, and…
A new centerpiece was needed for my kitchen table so I gathered up vintage ball jars and insulators from my basement and arranged them on a vintage dough board. I really like the Vintage Ball Jar Centerpiece that I created. My Ball jars belonged to both of my grandmothers and were used for years and…
