DIY Shibori Pillow Cover

Jackie Hill August 22, 2016 0 Comments
Hello. I did a cute and fun project awhile ago. Shibori is a hot trend right now, and I love the color blue. If you are not familiar with Shibori, it is simply a wrap and tie dye technique. That can get messy. There had to be a quicker, easier way. I saw this project in my HGTV magazine, and of course on Pinterest. It was very satisfying and I love the results!  Materials needed: White...

Hi There! I am so happy that you're here. Lately I have been showing a few outdoor projects that I have done to decorate my back yard on the cheap! Easy projects that I think anyone can do. Today I have a super simple project that took very little time at all. Here is a view of the patio on the side of the garage in the back yard. For the last two years I have had the Mexican plastic Picado...

Another Outdoor Gallery Wall

Hi! For the next couple of posts, I will be showing you the back yard and how we have had it decorated this summer. Seems like a good time, since the summer is more than half way over. Soon, I will be taking it all down and putting it away. This fence is on the south side of our yard. It was a huge bare spot that just needed something. Of course I had a few thrifted frames in my stash. Out came...

DIY Art for the Patio

Hi There, how are you? Thanks for stopping by. Today I have another piece of DIY artwork to show you. Last summer 2015, I made this herringbone pattern on a wine crate lid. I used wood shims from the hardware store cut into small pieces and glued them down with wood glue. I liked all of the different tones in the wood shims. But it just wasn't feeling like it was done, ya know? So, out came the...

A Painted Quilt?

Hi there, how are you? Have you ever heard of Barn Quilts? Well- simply put, they are painted quilt block patterns on wood that are hung on the side of a barn. They can be simple or complex. They are all beautiful and I think they are awesome! Last summer I painted a cork board with a double wedding ring pattern. I love it so much. You can see how I painted a found by the side of the road cork...

A Lovely little Vignette in the Living Room

Hi There! I am so glad you dropped by! I was sitting in the living room, watching TV. Losing brain cells, I'm sure. And I just loved how the light was hitting this small vignette I have on the top of a small bookcase. Whats a girl to do? Get out her camera and go take some pictures. This is the top of a little bookcase I have had for years. It sits between the TV armoire and the window. The...

Hi There! Happy 4th! I took these photos over a week ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. You know? Lets get started, here is the Front porch all dressed up for the 4th of July. Lots, of Red, White, and Blue. This was a quick and easy change over, everything here has been used before on the Front porch. I just moved a few things around and changed out some of the plants. Except the New...

An English Garden Front Porch

Hi There! I am so glad you're here. I have been craving some traditional decor lately. So, I am switching up some of my porch furniture with "new" paint colors. Traditional, neutral paint colors. Crazy, right? This time around, I did my take on a English Garden front porch. Dark Traditional colors for the furniture and pink Petunia flowers in the pots. This is my wicker table, that I pulled out...

A boring post with photos…

Hi There, how are you? I hope you have had some coffee. I think that I am about to bore you. This is your fair warning, that this is not an exciting post. Are you ready for what it is? It is tiny/small space with more doors than walls. Crazy, I know! But please stay with me, it won't be too bad ;) We have been in our cute little rental house for a couple of years. And most likely will be here...

A Sweet Little Spot by the Garage- part 2

Jackie Hill May 31, 2016 0 Comments
Hi There!   In my last post, I showed some photos from last year- 2015. A cute little spot by our garage. Nothing special, but I do decorate it a little for the summer. You can see how it looked in 2014, and 2015. I did the work, so I may as well show it off right?   We found this plant stand behind the garage when we moved in. Old, rusted, and missing some parts. I put it together with the...
