I love the farmhouse look and recently added two Farmhouse Style Metal Tool Caddies to my home that are perfect for décor in any season. My caddies, a set of two, are from Emory Valley Mercantile, the on-line shop…
Happy 4th of July week! I hope you are off and doing something fun with your family. For this week’s Vintage Monday, I’m sharing Vintage Patriotic Décor. My last Vintage Monday post was about Vintage Oyster Tins. If you missed it, you can see it here. 48 Star Flag I love Americana décor and decorated…
Even though it isn’t the official start to summer, Memorial Day weekend means the beginning of summer to many. Now that the weather has warmed up, we are enjoying spending time outside and are looking for ways to make our outdoor spaces and pretty and as functional as possible. The All Things Creative Team has…
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…
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…
Beer Bottles for a centerpiece? Seriously? My cousin’s husband enjoyed a few Bud Light Platinum beers at the lake the other weekend and my mom and I couldn’t stop admiring the beer’s pretty blue glass bottle. These bottles didn’t make it to the recycle bin, they were rescued by me for decorating! …
I will freely admit that I enjoyed my 4th of July mantel through both June and July. After two month’s enjoyment, it was time for a change. I usually like to do a beach themed mantel in the summer but this year wanted to do something different. I spotted a vintage Straight Arrow game from…
Happy 4th of July! (Artwork by Mr. SP on my dad’s 1940’s chalkboard.) Have a wonderful day celebrating with your friends and family!
