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...

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...

I made a fun DIY piece of Artwork. It doesn't have a new home yet, so I put it on the Front Porch. I had taken down the Valentine Chalkboard, but was not ready to change things up yet. You can change one item and get a new look- the best kind of decorating! Quick and simple I made this stenciled DIY piece of Artwork while watching TV. I love a good craft that can be put down and picked up at...

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...
