Create A Bathroom Style All Your Own

August 21, 2017 By Meegan Leave a Comment

After living in our desert cottage for the past 5 years, I have been thinking about how to Create A Bathroom Style All Your Own. The owners here are SO nice. They pretty much let me do anything I want. I know, we are blessed. It is always fun to dream, isn’t it?

Before we get started…This post was created in part thanks to Decoraport, all words and suggestions are my own.

Decoraport is an online home & garden specialty store with local showroom, local service. They offer high quality products, but at much lower prices. They Pursue Perfection in Price, Product, and Package.

Today, I want to share a few ideas to Create A Bathroom Style All Your Own.

Happy Thursday and welcome to my Blue and White Christmas home.

If, you know me at all, you KNOW my fave color is blue. I love any shade of blue. When it’s paired with white it melts my heart.

I am happy to be a part of the “Christmas in the Country” Home Tour and Link Party 2014!

I am one of over 40 decorated homes participating in this two week event from November 28th till December 12th. Please visit Creative Country Mom’s to see all the new stops on the tour each day.

Thrifted Benefit for Sheltered Animals

October 14, 2014 By Meegan 8 Comments

Good Morning and welcome to the Thrifted Benefit for Sheltered Animals. Thrift Benefit is a DIY blogger event to bring awareness to thrift shops that sponsor animal rescues and the rescues that care for the animals that share our journey. Take some time to Google a thrift shop in your area that does support animal shelters. Visit them and spread the word to help our cause.

What better way to help animals in need, right? You have want you have been searching for and the animals receive help, too.

Last year when I was a part of this group, I told you about our dear sweet Airedale, Lacy. She was by far the sweetest dog we ever had. Until we had Cinnamon. Cinnamon was also an Airedale.

I was not on the look out for a dog, but when I met Cinnamon, my eyes watered and I knew I loved her. Airedales have a kind disposition and are very loyal to their family. She was a sweetie. After I had met Cinnamon, her owners knew how much I loved her. She wasn’t getting the attention she needed from them. They knew our family would be delighted to own her.

They showed up at our door with Cinnamon, as a gift for our family. Again, tears came to my eyes. We were able to spend 2 1/2 years with her. Cinnamon passed away from cancer. It broke our hearts. But she is still in our hearts 10 years later.

Even though I don’t have an animal shelter sponsored Thrift Store in my area, I am still excited to be a part of this group and animal shelter awareness.

Please take some time and watch the video below to meet some of the bloggers, their pets and the coordinator of our group, Jeanette Chaney.

I love thrifting, as you know. I found a door at my local thrift store for $20.

I was not REAL sure where I wanted to put it in our home. BUT, I did know I WOULD find just the right spot for it.

After having it sit in our living room for days I finally gave it some color. This loveliness of a door is painted Antique Coral by Valaspar.

While visiting my local thrift store a few weeks ago, I found 3 rectangle baskets for a dollar a piece. Hmmm…NOW I know what I want to do for my thrifted door!

After laying them on my door, Hubby helped me by screwing each basket in place. It only took a few minutes before the door was looking how I pictured in my mind.

Now it was time to fill the baskets with bathroom necessities.

Washcloths.

Toilet paper.

AND, magazines for Hubby’s reading time (BIG smile)

The thrifted door has now found a home in our master bathroom.

Did you happen to notice that I added some aged numbers to my new bathroom door? Any guesses as to what the address means?

It’s been a real treat to be apart of the Thrifted Benefit for Sheltered Animals. I am honored to help my community in any way I can.

Please visit ALL the other Thrifted Benefit for Sheltered Animals posts from 21 of my friends.

Enjoy your day!

OH! And the address??? It is the exact time Hubby and I were married. (How fun, huh? I love it!)

Loves!

Tips and Tricks on Adding Birds or Birdhouses in Home Decor

October 9, 2014 By Meegan 1 Comment

Things are getting back to normal around our house. I am doing laundry, sewing, and cooking for Hubby since I was gone for so long. Now I am back and ready to show you Birds and Birdhouses, My Collection (Maybe an Obsession)

I have always liked birds. Birds and Birdhouses in Home Decor. Wow. While I was thinking about writing this post, I realized just how many birds and birdhouses I have.

Our living room book shelves actually have several hints of birds and bird houses.

We also have a few bird feathers from beach trips in some sand. Great memories.

I LOVE my birdies. There are 21 to be exact. And I like that because we have 21 grandkiddos. Perfect, huh? I like how each bird has it’s own unique look, just like the grandkiddos.

I like birds so much, I make my own bird’s nest from book pages.

My sweet green birdie is one of the first bird purchases I made. I love the various colors on his body.

You may have seen me use my hummingbird nests before. They are sentimental to me, because they were from my mother-in-law. She passed away from cancer 5 1/2 years ago. I will be sharing her hummingbird experience later this month as I celebrate Cancer Awareness.

My large white bird was brown, but somehow it was painted white (hehehe) Doesn’t it blend well with the hummingbird nests?

Another ceramic white bird has perched on top of my favorite candlestick.

In our guest bathroom you will find a colorful pink bird to coordinate with my grandma’s hand made wall decor.

This cutie patutie has found a home right near my vintage bird cage.

I have to tell you a story about this birdcage. I have a 3 year old grand daughter that lives close by. She LOVES the birdcage and the ceramic bird. She worries that the bird is out of his cage, so she will often place inside. I LOVE that.

One day while visiting she asked, “How old is the bird cage?” I said, “About 100 years old.” Her reply was, “OH, as old as you!” Is that too funny, or what?? I have laughed about that for a long time.

The lights on my birdhouse are always lit up when we have visitors.

I have been known to make coordinating bird houses for our Christmas tree.

Lastly, my stenciled birdies reside in my laundry closet, so I can see them everyday.

So you see Birds and Birdhouses, My Collection (Maybe an Obsession) is a fun and creative way to add variety to home decor. You don’t need to have a cottage, farmhouse, or even a traditional home to add birds and birdhouses. They can work anywhere or any space.

Do YOU have birds as decor in your home?

Thanks for stopping by and making my blog a part of your day!

Make it a terrific Thursday!
