Moving Into My New Cottage In The Desert

May 21, 2019 By Meegan 2 Comments

Hi everyone! I have neglected to tell you about Moving Into My New “Cottage In The Desert” apartment. I have been documenting the process, and gradually sharing it on my Instagram account, but haven’t been sharing it here on my blog.

Maybe not the best picture quality, but you can see my excitement! Wow, I have so much more space! It felt like a mansion in comparison.

Fashion over Fifty Spring and Summer Skirts

May 16, 2019 By Meegan Leave a Comment

If you are anything like me, you love Fashion over Fifty Spring and Summer Skirts.

I am all about staying comfortable in the warmer months. Dresses and skirts are my “go to” outfits from the beginning of April until about mid October here in Vegas.

Summer Skirts are my favorite choice.

DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas

May 15, 2019 By Meegan 5 Comments

The temperature is warming up and I am spending most of my days poolside. You know how I love to be outside and feel the sun rays on my face. It is really nice to be in our new home. Things are coming together and I am enjoying the decorating process. I am also enjoying the fact that we have a REAL porch. We did have a tiny balcony before. I tried to turn it into an inviting space. But, my vision never really came to fruition. I had visions of what I wanted here even before we moved in. Let me share some of my DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas for our new home.

These DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas can be used on tiny porches and large decks alike.

I like this time of month because I get to be a part of the At Home DIY Challenges. We have a theme every 15th of the month and share our best DIY projects related to the theme. This month is: “Make it Pretty Outdoor Challenge”

That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…

Organizational Ideas with Vintage Style Pieces

May 13, 2019 By Meegan Leave a Comment

Since we have moved I have been browsing through various websites, magazines and catalogs for some new ways to stay organized, functional and in keeping with a vintage vibe. These are five of my Organizational Ideas with Vintage Style Pieces.

I hope you enjoy looking and being inspired by them as much as I have.

Amber Corrugated Divided Caddy

This handy corrugated metal divided caddy is so versatile. It’s perfect for organizing items in the bathroom, kitchen, office, or craft room.

Rachael Farmhouse Style Galvanized Metal Caddy with Wood Handle

You’ll find so many uses for this adorable organizer. It’s perfect for office supplies, utensils, silverware and much more. This galvanized metal caddy is divided into 6 sections and features a wood handle.

Martin Rustic Wood Wall Rack with Wire Hooks

Our rustic wood wall rack is great for an entry, laundry room, or anywhere you need a little extra storage. Features 5 vintage style hooks on a wood back. Has 2 keyhole hangers.

*Due to the rustic nature of this item, appearance will vary slightly.*

Set of 2 Vintage Style Blue Buckets with Handles

This set of buckets is overloaded with patina and charm and makes wonderful storage or decor.

Set of two.

Set of 3, Antiqued Metal Troughs with Copper Finish

This set of 3 metal troughs is so versatile. They’re great for pillar candles and flowers and go nicely on a mantel, shelf, kitchen island or dining table. Ideal for a centerpiece.

Now that I have my own Organizational Ideas with Vintage Style Pieces, I need to get the ball rolling and implement them in our new home. Which one should I order first? The troughs, corrugated caddy, or the metal hooks?

I would love to hear YOUR thoughts and ideas.

Thanks for joining me and letting me share what I love to do. I am off to the pool for some exercise and sun…

Today I have Six Mothers Day Free Printables just for you, your mom, aunt, grandmother or anyone else you would like to honor for Mothers Day.

I had fun creating each one of the Six Mothers Day Free Printables with various colors and a vintage floral design.
