DIY Vintage Tool Box For Fall

September 19, 2016 By Meegan 2 Comments

It wasn’t very long ago that my children were small. WELL, it doesn’t seem like it was very long ago. And now when I do the math-it was almost 30 years ago, that my boys made this tool box in Cub Scouts. 30 years? How did that happen? Instead of being sad about the time passing by, I thought it would be more fun to create a DIY Vintage Tool Box For Fall.

My feature is from Salvage Dior. I love the textures, the rustic wood and look at those navy cabinets! Just stunning. Every detail is perfectly balanced with just a touch of blue.

Book Page Pumpkin with a Door Knob Stem

September 16, 2016 By Meegan 16 Comments

I imagine you are finishing costumes, buying,candy, carving pumpkins, or preparing for a Halloween party to attend. The excitement is everywhere.  As for me, I am still in Fall decorating mode with my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem.

I really do have a fascination with book pages and all that you can do with them.  Why?  I have no idea, other than I like the look, feel, and aged look they bring into our home.  To me they are a piece of art themselves.  With worn, torn and aged pages, they tell more than a written story.

Creamy Potato Soup from Scratch

January 15, 2016 By Meegan 3 Comments

Well, hello dear friends! My migraine is finally leaving and I am back to cleaning, cooking and creating a home for Hubby and me. It’s that perfect time of year for comfort food, isn’t it? And that is why I have made my own recipe for Creamy Potato Soup from Scratch recently.

I MUST tell you a story about the first time I made potato soup. We had only been married a few weeks, and it was a cool Fall day. An ideal day for soup, right? I thought I would dive into one of the many cook books I had received as a wedding present. (Yes, they gave cook books as gifts back then.) (HUGE SMILE)

Anyway, Hubby liked potato soup with lots of cheese and cornbread. I worked in the kitchen most of the afternoon making sure I timed it just right, so everything was ready when he got home from work.

I had never made either one before, but I was confident I was making a great meal.

Mistake number one. I baked the cornbread in a loaf pan. Um..don’t ever try it. It will take hours to bake fully. And/or the top will be burnt to a crisp and the middle will still be doughy. Yep, You guessed it-That is EXACTLY what happened to me. I was SO embarrassed!
