The Collector | DIY Feather and Plate Wall Art

I'm a hoarder a collector.

I love things. I love certain kinds of things. And then when I love certain kinds of things, I love having lots of those kinds of things.

I am a collector.

What makes me drawn to certain things?

Rustic Romantic Vignettes {a look back}

Not a lot of words today. I thought I would share some simple rustic and romantic vignettes with glimpses of my decor from the past few years. These are just random shots of things I find pretty. I hope you enjoy them.

5 Tips for Managing Without a Foyer

A couple of weeks ago I shared my informal entryway that opens directly into the living room. Today, I am going to share five tips that make this area work, since I know that I am not the only unfortunate one who doesn't have a grand entrance, right? And often times, it can be one of the most difficult spaces to organize and decorate.

Vintage Thread Ball Egg Basket {Easy DIY}

Is spring ever going to come? I sure hope so! There is still a little bit of snow on the ground here, but spring is on my mind. I have a super easy DIY tutorial to get you in the mood for spring as well. A few years back I made and sold these vintage thread ball egg baskets, and today I am going to share how.

Farmhouse Touches in the Dining Room {a look back}

I am excited to start a new series with you where I will share "a look back" at some of things I photographed but never posted during my time away from blogland. 

After the whirlwind birth of my second child when my daughter was only 15 months old, I blogged on occasion, but pretty rarely. There was so much that I didn't have time to post back then.

Welcome to week five of Sundays at Home! 

Vignette Details from the Living Room

Earlier this week, I shared our living room and entryway area reveals on my blog. Here are a few extra shots from some of my vignettes and details from the room.

Spring 2014 Informal Entryway

When I used to dream of owning my own home, the one thing that I really wanted was a formal entryway. 

You know…the kind where you walk through a giant old door (or even better a pair of doors) and see a beautiful staircase off to one side. 

With lots of room to put furniture, and a pretty chair or old bench to put shoes on, and of course, decorative items. 

Spring 2014 {Partial} Living Room Reveal

As promised, I am sharing my living room reveal! 

Vintage Sugar Bag Pillow

I always have a long list of projects to work on for my home. (Don't we all?) One that I have sadly had on my list for several years, is to turn some old sugar bags into pillows. Well, this week I finally made one of them! I thought I would pop in here to share it with you.

Mason Jar Photo Gallery {DIY}

I have a simple DIY for you today. I love old mason jars and have a huge collection. The ideas for them seem to be unending. One that I have enjoyed doing for the past couple of years is to put photographs in them. I am always looking for unconventional ways to display our family photos, and this is one that works well with my industrial, farmhouse decor. It is a nice modern twist on a vintage item.

Early Spring Centerpiece

Last week, I set up a little centerpiece on our dining room table. I wanted it to hint towards spring but not be screaming "Easter!". It was a simple vignette, using items I have collected through the years. I started with an old burlap feed sack and vintage vanity tray. 

Sundays at Home No. 2

Welcome to week number two of Sundays at Home! I am so grateful for all who came and joined up last week. Hoping for lots of inspiration again this week!

Salvage Door Corner Shelf

A few years back, my husband and I saw some old wooden doors lying near the side of the road. We stopped to check them out, when the owner came out and offered to help us load them up if we wanted to take them. 

Vintage Photo Wall Collage {Update}

A few months ago, I shared a post about a vintage photo wall collage that I created in our living room. 

You can view that post here.

Since that time, I have gotten more into a groove of the direction that I want our living room to go, so I updated it a little and thought I would pop in here to share it with you.

Embracing the Imperfections of an Older Home

Ever since having children, I have found myself (on occasion) longing for a newly built home. 

If you knew me pre-kids, that would sound shocking to you. I have always loved older homes (like really old…early 1900's and older would have been my preference).

Holiday Home Tour | Part Four | The Living Room & Christmas Tree

Welcome to the fourth lap of my Holiday Home Tour! 

 I was finally able to get the living room and playroom cleaned up and photographed (so now I can welcome you in). 

DIY Winter Woodland Scene

I thought I would pop in for a minute to share a simple "winter scene" that I created for our rustic holiday home. I am literally posting this while my kids play in the other room, so I have to hurry!

If you can believe it, I still haven't finished my Christmas decorating, but I am eager to share the inside tour of our holiday home just as soon as time allows. Till then here is a little diy project for you. It took me a total of about five minutes…really. Very simple.
