Simple Spring Entryway
I’m back again already! Can you believe it? Once I got back into the swing of taking photographs (with my actual camera and not my phone), I have had a lot of motivation to share more. It made me realize how much I have missed this creative outlet and the community I have come to know here. Today, I am sharing a few more photos I took of some simple spring decorating I have done around the house. Our entryway leads to the dining room on one side and living room on the other. It hasn’t gotten a lot of attention since we moved in a few years ago, but…

Spring in the Dining Room
Well, hello there! It has been quite awhile since I have been here! I am happy to pop in today to share with you a little spring/summer vignette in our dining room. Life has been all sorts of crazy over the past year and I have not really focused on the house or decorating or doing much of anything other than chasing kids around and making sure everyone else has what they need. But as my youngest two gain more independence (and one takes lengthy afternoon naps), and my older two are back to full time school, I am finding time to get back to some of the things I…

Eclectic Spring Dining Room & Mantel
Spring is here! And it has gotten me in the mood to declutter and freshen up my home. Today, I’m sharing our simple dining room with subtle hints to welcome the season. As I’ve mentioned other times, my dining room is the worst for collecting clutter. This room leads to the kitchen, basement and back patio so things are always piling up. I finally cleared it all out last week (for the millionth time), cleaned it up and did a little tweaking. I bought a new Hmong hemp runner on Etsy recently and love it in here. Very inexpensive too! I’ve never been that into the color blue in my decor, but lately it’s…

Spring Easter Bunny Free Printable – “Some Bunny Loves You”
Is spring ever coming? Some days it really doesn’t feel like it around here, but that doesn’t keep it off my mind! Today, I have a free printable that I made to celebrate Easter and start bringing bits of the season into our home. I am joining with several other bloggers sharing free printables and vignettes for spring, hosted by Ella Claire. Be sure to visit all the others at the end! A few weeks ago, my children were drawing at the table, when I sketched a little bunny and wrote, “some bunny loves you” at the bottom. I shared this sketch on Instagram and people seemed to like it,…

A Year of Mantel Vignettes
Today, I thought it would be fun to share all of the mantel vignettes that I created this past year. I love changing out the decor of our mantel season to season. I am still on my blogging break but got this post ready for you before, so you could enjoy it now! Our mantel currently resides in our dining room and has for the past few years. We purchased it at an architectural salvage store right after we moved into our current home. It was painted dark brown then, but because the paint was literally chipping right off, we sanded it down and gave it a rough coat of white. Click…

DIY Vintage Inspired Easter Baskets
The month of April feels like it is flying by so fast. I can hardly believe Easter is just around the corner. I have a fun and, hopefully, inspiring diy project for you today. It’s all about bringing some vintage charm to those Easter baskets! Now, these ideas may not be practical for the kiddos who only prefer high tech gadgets and candy, or very young children, but if you have a child with an old soul, this may be just the thing to make their heart fill with delight. I know, I would have loved a basket full of pretty, vintage goodies. (I would enjoy one now, in fact!) Or…
