This latest DIY I’m sharing, is of our living room ottoman. This pic is the after! I am so in love with it! I had created this ottoman quite a few years ago from a small table. We had cut the legs down to coffee table height and added some pretty spindles to make the …
I’ve got a very easy Christmas craft for you today. I have seen these done before, but have never tried making my own. Well, I am going to share how easy they really are! First step is to collect some toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, even wrapping paper tubes. I started making these one …
I haven’t sent a post for quite some time. To be honest, I haven’t been too inspired to do a whole lot except hibernate! The weather really affects me, and winter isn’t my favourite time of year. I look forward to Spring, and the thought of puttering in my shed. I wanted to do a …
I look forward to decorating my potting shed each year! For someone who loves to decorate, a little space that you can change up each year is so much fun! This year I decided to keep the “greenhouse feel” and decorate using alot of natural elements. I purchased vintage curtains right before I decorated, and …

You know I am all about easy DIYs! And this cloche is one of those. I also love anything fun I can add to the garden. I have seen wire cloches before, and I had a roll of vintage wire garden fence that was a little too short to fit around any of my flower …
My garden is very casual and cottage style. I have fun creating separate “rooms” to meander through. And entering a garden through a gate is so romantic. Gerald built the picket fence in the garden, complete with a picket gate for one of the entrances. I had two old iron twin headboards that have been …
Summer has been flying by! (it usually does, unfortunately), and we have had an unusual amount of rain. Not good for swimming, but my garden has loved it. Now is the time of year that some of the annuals in the garden and in pots are looking a little overgrown and leggy. It’s good to …
I am so thankful for warmer weather, and the promise of Spring! It has been unseasonably warm here, and I have been loving it! I’m so ready to get out and get gardening! I have been keeping the decorating around here pretty simple lately. Using some vintage Easter post cards, and a few small Spring …
You know I love vintage. And I love a good DIY. But I am also frugal, and I’m going to admit it…lazy. I like crafts that don’t take alot of effort, money or time! These ornaments fit the bill. I love to collect vintage ornaments. And if they have paint chipping off, all the better. …
