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

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...

Another Fun Fall Front Porch

Good day, I am so glad you have stopped by! Here is another look at the Front Porch decorated for Fall. I used lots of Yellow and Green, with a ton of texture! When you have many more gray days than sunny, it is fun to add color to the front of the house. Such is the life, here in Michigan. I stacked some thrifted picnic baskets next to a wicker table for the base of this vignette. I put Mums in...

Hi There! Sometimes the best way to start is to jump in... I am giving you a look at my Front Porch decorated for different seasons. Here I have a early Fall Porch look for you to see. For the Early Fall Porch I went with a yellow and green color story, with lots of texture. This is an Ivy plant I got at Lowes. It is meant as  ground cover, I placed it in a metal pot, and watched it grow. I love...

I think having a layered look of everyday items mixed with decorations...

Another Painted Quilt

Hello. I love quilts. I love quilt patterns. I love the graphic statement they make. They are traditional and modern at the same time. I painted another quilt. I am a little obsessed with them. I am not going to give a tutorial on Painting quilts. It is pretty self explanatory, draw out a quilt pattern and fill in with paint. An easy DIY artwork that anyone could do.   I had this canvas that...

Plants, Flowers, and More! Oh, my…

Hello. I have been having a hard time lately, but there has been a small amount of sunshine through the clouds. We will wait and see what is to come. It is exciting to have hope again. Maybe this is the start of the big change I have envisioned for myself. Todays post is a collection of photos of all of the pretty flowers, plants and accessories I have used on the Back yard Patio this Summer....

Is Summer Over?

Hello. It is past Labor Day, is the Summer over? I hope not! We are still having 85+ degree weather here in Michigan. It feels like Summer, that is for sure! Today I am back with another look at the Back yard. I have been showing snippets of the Back yard and Patio decorated on a budget for the Summer. This is another sitting area on the Patio. I wanted a bright, colorful, collected Bohemian...

Patio Sitting Area

Jackie Hill August 28, 2016 0 Comments
Good Afternoon! I have been showing bits and pieces of the back yard before the summer is over. I decorated the Patio months ago, and we have been enjoying it so much this summer. It is bright and colorful, and most of all comfortable. Today I am showing the sitting area. This is where I go to most when I am on the patio. It is where I sit and have a drink and watch the puppies play in the yard....
