Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas

January 6, 2020 By Meegan Leave a Comment

As we start a new year, I have my Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you.

It was a crazy busy and fun year. With packing, moving, unpacking and re configuring a new (to me) cottage apartment in the desert, family vacations, traveling and then the Christmas season my year was jam packed.

My brain and creativity are already moving full force with fresh, new and clean ideas. Not only home decor, but for design, keeping myself healthy and working on goals for a better lifestyle. I will be telling you more about that soon.

For now let’s look at the Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you, your home and family.

Even though the cottage back porch is small, with just a few thrifted finds and ingenuity I was able to Create an Inviting Back Porch.

Vintage Thrifted Christmas Tablescape

Since it’s just the two of us, it’s fun to create something special for with an idea for a Vintage Thrifted Christmas Tablescape.

With some vintage family pieces and a few thrifted finds the dining room table is ready for Christmas in the cottage apartment.

Designing this table is part of the Thrifty Style Team this month. I always look forward to the second Friday of each month. It’s when a talented group of bloggers gather and share their thrifty ideas, decor and DIY projects.

Christmas Decorating with Family Traditions

I am happy to have you here today and show you my Christmas Decorating with Family Traditions.

This is part of the Very Merry Christmas Home Tour hosted by Carrie of Lovely Etc. It’s been an inspiring week browsing through the home tours and seeing all the beautiful and creative ideas.

If you are visiting from DIY Beautify, WELCOME. It’s a pleasure to have you here.

After moving into a new (to me) apartment this year, decorating for Christmas was going to be a new challenge. Do I use what I already have? Do I add to my Christmas collection? Where do I even place the Christmas tree?

My Visit to The Old Lucketts Store-Part Two

After sifting through at least 300 pictures, I am thrilled to share My Visit to The Old Lucketts Store-Part Two. It is such a fun place to visit when you are in Virginia. It isn’t far from Washington, DC. Well, probably an hour and a half-ish away. And if you LOVE vintage style, like I do, you don’t want to miss out.

If you would like to see Part One, visit here.

I am actually going to make this series into to 4 or 5 parts. Only because I have so much to share.

It’s always a treat when I can find a piece of furniture at a steal of a deal. It makes my heart skip a beat, without a doubt. Especially when I can spy something in the dumpster! I know, I am THAT person. You can read about how I found this amazing chair (pictured below) here.

Now that I have had this vintage style chair in our home for a few weeks, I have a vision of what I want this to be. Let me show you my steps for this Dumpster Dive Vintage Chair Makeover.

My Apothecary Jar Sea Shell Collection is a new piece in my new apartment. Actually I have lived here since March, but it still feels new to me.

Not only is it a new piece, but I found it for a steal of a deal!

You KNOW how much I love me a great thrifted find, as you can see here. And if there is a way I can incorporate them in my home decor, I sure will.

DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial

June 23, 2019 By Meegan Leave a Comment

We were out in the desert hiking through the gorgeous red clay mountains just outside of Las Vegas. My cute grand daughter found a rustic stick and gave it to me. My grand kids know me so well. If it’s old, a rock, sea shell, or stick, I want it. I know, that is kinda silly of me. But, it is what I like and I LOVE that each and every one of the kids in my family know that. Once I got said stick home, I knew that I was going to make a DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial for you.
