A Wintery Rustic Christmas Centerpiece

Baby it’s cold outside… We can finally say that here in Texas but I really thought it would never get here. It’s been a really warm December. Did the weather forget that it’s supposed to be cold at during the month of December? Because of the weather I have not been in the mood to

vintage galvanized tool box planter {rustic garden}

We pulled into the parking lot knowing that my favorite eclectic junk shop was closed, but it was time for a stretch after hours on the road.  Besides there is always plenty of good junk to pick through outside the shop, no need to go inside….all the good junk is always outside. I saw what

a late entry into Spring {seasonal decor}

I’m late, I’m late for a very important date.  More like a season.  Spring is here and up until the past Saturday, my home…well small spaces of it, was still wrapped up in a winter blanket.  Warm rustic colors are wonderful in those chilly months following the Christmas season, but since we’ve had green grass

my new lamp, my passion for wicker & part 2 of “duck egg”

I’ve come to believe that wicker may never go out of style and even if it does or it seems as if it comes and goes over a span of time, it really never goes out of style, it’s always there, we may not choose to pick it up and add it into our decor

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 26 “Logging”

I bet Paul Bunyan never had this much fun in his logging days. So what if he had a blue ox named Babe, I have Rudy, Rover and Mr. Rust. Mr. Rust and I have been having some discussions about my impatience with him, I’m totally going to blame this on my state of sadness

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 17 “Fresh Paint”

I don’t get to many garage sales and when I do, I’m not typically one to find the “great” treasures I’ve seen some people bring home and blog about. However, a few Saturday’s ago, the mister and I went out for a few hours and hit about 3 garage sales. I found something at all

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 14: “The Best Junk is Below the Knees”

Catchy title yes? But now that I have your attention, here’s the scoop in the last two weeks I have found some of the most primo junk at local antique malls, and… everything that I’ve bought and brought home has been a treasure that was found while I was squatting down or on all fours.
