Spring Decorating in the Dining Room

I am back with another look at the Dining Room Built in. You can see how I lined the back with Birch Bark Wrapping Paper here. Here it is all dressed for Spring, and full of fun DIY craft projects. When I lined the back of the shelves I hoped that they would give some great warmth and texture to the Dining room. I just love how they turned out, and got the warmth I hoped for. After using so many...

I had stenciled a cute little crate for my Easter table, that I love! But just to prove that I can't blog, I forgot to take photos of the before, the during, but I do have an after! One out of three ain't bad, right? ( I will be posting my Easter table later this week. ) Anyway, I love it so much that I wanted to stencil something else and saw this cute little flower box. I got this cute little...

Hi There. I have been having a hard time lately finding the motivation to work here on the blog. I love doing it, but it is a lot of hard work. Many of the aspects I am not comfortable with, Photography, writing, and all things web related. Please be patient with me as I struggle my way through. Because I believe that I could have something... In our cute little MCM rental home, we have this...

Pretty Shelves in the Dining Room

Hi There! Sorry, I have been gone so long. I have been busy. Work, life, etc. Enough said, we have all been there. So, today I am back with a quick look at the Odd built-in the Dining room. This odd little built in has 4" deep shelves, so not much will fit for decorating. But this is the little spot that I change up for the seasons, or when I am just bored. I do believe at one point, these...

Good Day to you! I am so happy that you are here. As I have said before, we are renting our cute little house. We love the neighborhood, and the area. Here is a little project I've done to make the house more of a home. And when we leave, it can come with us. A DIY House Number Sign. Here are the original house numbers. Perfectly fine, and they are doing the job. But I wanted something more. And...

The Front Porch is a quick and easy spot for me to decorate. That is why I have so many photos of it. So, here again is another quick- I promise -look at the Front Porch with Spring Green touches. These stacked stools are on the Front Porch all the time. I have had them for years, and they have been painted a few different colors. I like having a spot by the door to place my bag on while I unlock...

Simple Valentine’s Decor for those who don’t like Red!

jackiecantblog@gmail.com February 10, 2017 0 Comments
Sometimes you want to decorate for an upcoming holiday, but you might not care for the traditional color associated with it. That is how I feel about the color Red. I am much more of a blue and gray and black and green and purple girl. I mean, Red is fine. In fact, I decorated the front porch with some red for the Christmas holiday. It is just not my favorite color. I did want to decorate a bit...

Rusted Metal Fall Front Porch

I love the look of metal. Any metal. Galvanized, hammered, rusted, shiny, brass, silver, copper, old, or new. I love the look of metal. Here is the front porch decorated with some metals and bright blues. Our front porch is small, but I have such fun decorating it. I like to layer thrifted finds with crafts that I have made. The aluminum ice bucket has a hole and was only a $1 at a garage sale,...

Lets just jump in...  Here is a quick look at the Dining room in our little rental house. A little while back, we had my Boyfriend's Parents over for dinner. The room was clean and pretty and the table was set, so why not take some photos?!? We are renting a small little Mid century house in a quiet neighborhood. We love the location and the house is cute and cozy. Did I mention small? Our table...

This is Not your Typical Farmhouse Sign

jackiecantblog@gmail.com January 31, 2017 0 Comments
I just love Farmhouse signs. They can be simply made, and are usually painted. They can be one or two word on the sign. They can be used for your front porch, and say "Welcome". They can be used for holiday decorating, and say "Joy". These fun signs can be any color or size to fit your style and decor. The possibilities are endless. I wanted to make a sign for my kitchen. I thought about words...
