I think these colorful bud vases from Anthropologie are so fresh and sweet for spring. While completing the YHL Macklemore Challenge with Erica, I came across this flower pin. It immediately reminded me of those cute Anthro bud vases. So I added a colorful vase to my shopping list, and found it in the same …

Mike & I are working on a project for our Entry that has been in the back of our minds for a long time, and I can’t wait to show it you. (UPDATE: Go here to see how we used the Animal Push Pins) However, for now, I’ll just share these fun little animal push …
Erica spotted this Soapstone Globe on Anthroplogie, and she sent me the link right away. I love anything globe or map related, and already have a small globe collection in our living room. However, the price tag on Anthro’s version comes in at $368 – yikes. If I was going to own this globe, it …
Lora and I love reading Young House Love. It’s a blog we both discovered years ago and it is definitely one of our favorites. Recently, John and Sherry, the writers of Young House Love posted a blog on the Macklemore Thrift Challenge. Lora and I decided we would give the challenge a try. Here is …
I picked up these two pillows (shown below) awhile back. Some of you are probably thinking “ick.” They are definitely vintage. And not good mid-century modern vintage or industrial vintage — just old, ugly, vintage. But, I liked something about them. So I came home from thrifting with two small, vintage, not-so-pretty pillows. I thought …
What’s a {Reverse} Knock-Off? Well, I made it up. At least I think I did. It might exist somewhere else out there in cyberspace. I didn’t copyright it or anything. 🙂 In January, Anthropologie opened in Lexington. Based on our upcoming Anthro Love Series, you can probably guess I was excited. We headed there the …
So I have a confession… I love coffee! Actually, Lora and I both love coffee and when we get together it’s pretty much guaranteed that a Starbucks run will be made. I decided to save some Starbucks bottles and paint them. To achieve this look, simply clean out the bottle, pour in paint in a …
After my son was born, I realized I needed to come up with some other ways to preserve memories besides just scrapbooks. I love to scrapbook, but we have tons of photos of our little boy and life is busy, so I try to only scrapbook the most precious photos and significant events. Thanks to …
I really like the look of Vintage Botanical Charts but hadn’t come across them in thrift stores or flea markets. I love these examples below, but authentic charts are definitely out of my price range. However, on a recent trip to a flea market in Lexington I came across this botanical-style poster for $2. I …
Last week I told you I’d reveal some “secret” storage tips from my Dining Cabinet makeover. Plate Holders Hidden Storage Maximizing Vertical Space Did you guess what any of them were? I’ll give you some hints… Plate HoldersThe hutch did not have a groove near the back of the shelf for displaying plates, so I …
Last week I shared my Mini Office project (which had been on my to-do list for quite some time) motivated by the New Year’s Organizing Revolution over at Organizing Made Fun. The challenge this week is to organize a kitchen space. Since our china has been in storage since we got married SIX YEARS AGO …
The New Year is all about plans, goals and dreams. And how these dreams change from year to year. As a child I dreamed of being an actress or a dancer. As an adult I dream of garage organization systems! In honor of dreaming, I’m sharing a gift handmade for two sweet little girls. I …
In the spirit of the season, today I’m going to share some of the Christmas traditions (both new and old) that I’ve been a part of this year – and the blessings in each. Christmas Traditions 1: Our Advent Tree A few weeks ago I shared a DIY Advent Calendar Tutorial. It has been such …
The holiday season is always a busy one and completing Christmas Cards is just one of the many tasks we try to fit into the short season. Surprisingly, we actually finished our Christmas Card photos in September. Yes, I know that seems super organized, but in fact the whole photo session was thrown together at …
Lately I’ve found myself being drawn to the Faux Deer Head trend. However, Mike thinks the idea of hanging any Deer Head, faux or not, on our walls is crazy. So eager to try out the trend, but not jump in head first, I decided to whip up a little 2D Deer Head artwork for …
