My little boy (he mostly just supervised) and I did a little craft project the other night while Mike was out for the evening. I was inspired by this song from Gungor, which we sang in church Sunday morning: “You make beautiful things You make beautiful things out of the dust You make beautiful things …

Lately, I’ve found myself pinning images with these Black Marquee Letters. Such a cool, graphic way to label the In & Out baskets in an office. If you haven’t seen this little Black & White Office from Thistlewood FarmsIt is lovely – and she lives in Kentucky – so that makes her that much more …
Earlier this week I shared some inspiration for my entry. This is one of my favorites: I especially love that rug. I have always wanted to try out some of the painted rug tutorials I have seen on Pinterest & around the Blogosphere. So since I’m working on my entry, and love this photo of …
I previously wrote a post on decorating goals back in January, you can check it out here. Today, I am going to give an update on how my office/craft room area is coming along. Crossed off on the list below are the items that I have completed so far and what items I still want …
Hello, March! It’s hard to believe we are in the 3rd month of 2013 already, isn’t it? While we were posting all about Anthro Love during February, I’ve been working on my first home project for 2013 – our entry way. I’m so excited to start sharing the projects with you! There are really two …
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 …
As if you can’t tell already from our previous posts, Lora and I love using thrift store finds in our home! Below is an old chalkboard I found at a Peddler’s Mall in Louisville a couple of years ago. The chalkboard started out looking pretty rough, I’m talking covered in funky black wallpaper with fruit …
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 …
For our wedding we used vintage Green & Blue Glass Bottles as the centerpiece at each table. They were filled with flowers and candles, sitting atop hand-sewn squares of toile fabric. Mike and I {note: more credit goes to him} collected these bottles from yard sales, flea markets, and peddlers malls for the entire year …
I love a good visit to Lexington, KY! I get to catch up with friends and I love stopping by their great vintage and antique stores! On a recent visit to Lexington, Lora and I visited a local antique shop called Feather your Nest. Included below are pictures of items that caught our eye as …
