Welcome to Field Trip Friday with Redhead Can Decorate!

I can hardly wait for you to read this post from one of my all-time favorite bloggers.  Julie is talented, creative, and her blog is filled to the brim with personality and spunk-just like Julie!!  So, with out any further adieu…Here is Julie…

I’m Julie, the redhead from redheadcandecorate.com.

I blog about how my husband and I “DIY” decorate our home & cook for our family.

We live in Michigan and we have 2 girls and a new kitty.

This photo was taken at Niagara Falls. We are both originally from NY.

Ever been?

Speaking of which…

Who doesn’t love a good field trip?

Remember the days when your class would all hop on the yellow bus for a day at the zoo, or aquarium?

That was the best.

Now a days I mostly just get to chaperone the field trips, until now :)

I am so excited to have you all over.

Come on in Meegan, I will show you around.

Maybe some of your followers can try one of our ideas.

Here’s our most recent project:

Winter Beach Lodge Living Room

My husband, Richard, and I, transformed our dark living room by selling our sectional on Craig’s List, updating the furniture, painting, and adding some inexpensive custom trim to the walls to open the space.

I also integrated several DIY decorating ideas into the space such as:

Thrift Store Lamp Makeover

&

Illuminated Photo Door

We also used a dead elm stump from our yard to make an end table.

This was really easy, and almost free.

Just had to buy a can of polyurethane.

Stump End Table

Here’s a couple more makeovers we’ve completed through out our home.

Saving $ and creating a comfortable, updated look is always the focus.

DIY Kitchen Makeover

DIY White Master Bedroom Makeover

Painted Rug

I also enjoy crafts:

Photo Lantern

(that’s my Mom & Dad on there!)

DIY Ball Jar Hand Soap Dispenser

These make great gifts.

Black Ice Skates for Outdoor Winter Decor

Score!

There’s always something cooking at Red’s.

Here’s a surprisingly easy dish:

Shrimp & Sausage Boil

Or if you are a pasta lover, here’s a quick one:

Linguini & Clams

Maybe you are a meat lover like my hubby?

This is my sister’s recipe, and she’s a redhead too.

BAKED Teriyaki Baby Back Ribs

Or…forget dinner, and just have a cookie instead.

These are good for you and my family LOVES them.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is it time for a nappy yet?

Oh wait, I want to make sure I share this easy pie crust for apple pie season.

You actually make this crust in the pie plate and there is no rolling. It turns out perfect every time.

I use it with my Dutch Apple Pie.

I hope you enjoyed the tour.

I post every Friday, so I hope you will visit then too.

I’m on Facebook a lot, so that’s a great way to follow too.

Just click the towel bar :)
