I struck thrifter’s gold the other day (or, more like thrifter’s silver) when I spotted a bunch of silver plate bread baskets on the Goodwill shelves. Each metal basket was perfectly tarnished (i.e., patina!) and in need of a new purpose in life. As I studied the collection of wire baskets, I pondered the idea of transforming them into rustic decor…

30+ Upcycling Ideas and Projects for Farmhouse Decor

It’s hard these days to get away from the idea of Farmhouse Decor- not that I WANT to get away from it. In fact, I completely understand its appeal.

Wood Clip Board for Garage Storage or Shed Organization

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a TERRIBLE habit of losing my gardening gloves. After some yard work, I’d come into the garage, rip off my gloves, and fling them wherever I could before going inside.

So, I’m determined to create some garage storage solutions / shed organization with a wood clip board dedicated to work gloves.

Our dining room needs more wall décor, and an embroidered feed sack (or 2) would be fitting (dining room…feed sack…) and quirky.Read more ›
Rustic Planter with a Galvanized Bucket and Antique Brass Faucet

I first noticed bucket and faucet planters at a high-end garden shop while on a shopping trip years ago. As charming as it was, though, the price was a little steep.

I just needed to find the right pieces for my soon-to-be rustic planter / metal planter.Read more ›
