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...

I know that it is March, But I want to post this quick look at the Front Porch decorated for Valentines Day. It gets pretty cold here in Michigan during February, but we did have a couple of really nice bright sunny days. This was one of those days, too pretty to pass up! This vignette is on one side of the Front Porch. The porch is not big enough to have a chair to sit and have a drink, but it...

2017 is the year to make dreams come true! I have had a hard couple of years, financially that is. Getting divorced was the best decision for me, and the worst for my pocketbook. My advice? Don't get married. And always keep your money separate. Life lesson learned. But we are not looking back anymore! We are moving forward, and this Blog is Step One. Step Two? Etsy Shop!

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,...

We love the location and the house is cute and cozy. Did I mention small? Our table...

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...

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...

Except the New...
