Hello everyone! Are you having a great week? Are your kids back in school? Is it still really hot where you are? It is still in the 100s here. But I am enjoying it.
Yesterday I got my haircut and I was right by West Elm. Sounds fun, right? I had a great time and was completely inspired. Once I got home, I was browsing through the catalog and remembered the vases that I saw at the store. I like the color and the style, don’t you? 
I found this lovely vase for $1. Once I got home and I was ready to use my Champness Fusion Mineral Paint. If you remember I used this same color on my reloved desk.

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:
&
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.
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 White Master Bedroom Makeover
I also enjoy crafts:
(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:
Or if you are a pasta lover, here’s a quick one:
Maybe you are a meat lover like my hubby?
This is my sister’s recipe, and she’s a redhead too.
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.

Before you leave today, I would LOVE for you to link up on:
Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! I flew home from Oregon last night. I have been gone from Hubby for 20 days! Whew! That’s such a long time, isn’t it? It has been the trip of a lifetime across the country and back then up to Oregon. I am truly blessed. Lots of pictures to come in the days ahead of all the sights and adventures from my trip.
But today, I am thrilled to share a simple, yet impacting change for Spring. My DIY Spring Refreshed Urn. Easy peasy and the cost??? Very little. Awesome! Let’s get started…
I found this lovely urn filled with flowers and grass for $5 on clearance at Wal-Mart years ago. SCORE! At the time I purchased it, it fit my style and taste. Now, I have tried fitting in every room in the house, only because I really haven’t found a home for it.
I finally decided to pull it apart and use the urn. I mean it’s a great urn, right? SO, I NEEDED to use it somehow. I think it already looks better.
Using a grapevine orb that I found thrifting for a dollar. I am able to change the whole look of my urn.
What a difference! Placing my “new” orb and urn with other thrifted and vintage components, I created a new, fresh look for spring.
Combining the candlesticks, wheat grass, vintage books tied with twine all sitting in a large wood tray is the exact look I was hoping for.
To finish things off I filled a wire basket with pine cones and the grass from the urn. So cool and great for a Spring look!
It’s funny how I can have something so long, tried using it in every room and FINALLY pulled it apart and found a home for it! I REALLY like when that happens. I was able to change the urn to fit my style, as my style as changed, too. Do YOU have something that you can do the same thing with??
Thanks for joining me today as I shared my Spring Refreshed Urn. It is always a joy for me to share things and I ideas that make me smile.
Make it a wonderful Wednesday!
