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.

Make Vintage Art From Your Home Blueprints

February 14, 2020 By Meegan 17 Comments

We were blessed to build a home in the early 80s. It truly was a dream home. From the floor plan to the intricate details. It took us a year to build, with lots of helping hands. Since moving from that home almost 20 years ago, there has been much reflection on the labor, events, love and emotion that was created there. I have been wanting to Make Vintage Art From Your Home Blueprints and I have a tutorial so you can make your own.

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.

Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

February 4, 2020 By Meegan 8 Comments

It has been years now that I have used ground turkey instead of beef. I am not a huge meat eater. No real reason, other than I don’t like the texture. Call me weird, I know, but I just don’t. (It is just one of my many quirks!) BUT, I do love Meegan’s slow cooker turkey chili. With so many spices to flavor the meat and beans, it is delish. So delicious in fact, that even my grand-kids beg me to make it for them!

So, I bet you want the recipe right? Well, you are in luck! I would love to give it to you today…
