With just a few touches of vintage charm, new ceramic pots and a little creativity, I now have a cottage style porch to enjoy all year long.
With Spring here and the flowers blooming under the cottage apartment living room window, I have a beautiful way to decorate my home for Spring.
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.
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.
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?

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.
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.
Hi everyone. It’s the 2nd Wednesday of month when I get to share with my Thrifty Style Team. These bloggers are amazing, a long with their husbands or partners. Besides me sharing a Thrifty DIY Ladder Chandelier idea, each blogger is highlighting a thrifty project titled “Dads Do DIY-Thrifty Style”
It’s going to be a lot of fun filled with a lot of creative ideas.
The project that I am going to share today is a Thrifty DIY Ladder Chandelier.
Done with some creativity, hard work and step by step tutorials, you can make each of these DIY outdoor projects, as well.
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.
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…
It’s also the 2nd Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for the Thrifty Style Team to share their incredible and thrifty decorating ideas. It is always a treat to see what everyone comes up with. I will have all the links to their projects listed below.
Since living in a small space for years now, with limited areas for storage, I have used my laundry “closet” for our garage supplies.
It’s that time of year for reflection and reassessing my blog, style, and life. I like to refresh my home, sometimes daily. Are you that way, too?
This past year has been no exception. My style is rustic, vintage, thrifted and somewhat classic. I like vintage books and fabrics, rusty metal, chippy paint, torn edges and tufted upholstery.
