You can make one or twenty rock towers in your garden or yard for a unique, natural art piece.
This blog post is coordinated by Julie from Redhead Can Decorate for the Thrifty Style Team on the 2nd Friday of each month.
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.
Not only that but each piece is available for you to purchase for your own Summer decorating.
With thrifted mirrors, nailed and scattered across the wall, I knew there was a way to make a beautiful space. But I was stumped…As you can see in the picture below.
Before I go on, I wanted to let you know that this post is organized as part of The Thrifty Style Team hosted by Julie at Redhead Can Decorate.
Each one is perfect for the new home owner, a thrifty shopper or for creating your own style.
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.
Do you ever visit an antique store, thrift shop or go junkin’ and leave inspired to create your own version of what you have seen? That’s what happened to me when I came home from Lucketts and Garden Gatherings in Virginia. You can read about my experiences here and here.
I wanted to use a vintage piece in a unique way. After spying my mom’s typewriter from the 1950s, voila! That’s all it took for my imagination to take off…
I have had this idea rolling around my head for awhile. It was actually quite emotional browsing through the brittle blueprints one by one.
From the process of choosing a style and floor plan that would best fit our growing family, to submitting the plans for approval, to the first shovel of dirt for digging the footings. Every step came flooding my mind.
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?
This Easy and Simple Eucalyptus Garland takes three components and a short amount off time. That’s my kind of craft. Perfect for a casual day of crafting and relaxation.
It’s just a few easy steps and anyone can do it.
Reaching into my refrigerator, I pulled out fresh fruits and vegetables to start this new look in my cottage apartment.
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.
It was fairly easy and took me just under two hours to create.
This is part of the AT Home DIY Challenges for each month. July includes creating any DIY project in two hours time. This doesn’t include drying time. But actual work on the project.
Sounds fun, huh?
I am excited to share them with you. And I am also looking forward to hearing about what keeps you peaceful, too. As you are reading, keep in mind the things or activities that give you comfort, too.
