Let’s travel back in time for a moment – back to the age of April 2016. It was the time when the Country Living Fair came to Nashville. Okay, going back a few months may not be too exciting, but it was an awesome time for me where I was gifted with a new friendship, some blogging encouragement, and a connection. Let me tell you the story. If you remember, I teamed up with Country Living Magazine and was able... Read more

Do you all love to shop online? I spend so much time looking at cute Farmhouse wares on different sites but when it comes time to bite the bullet and hit the purchase button I squirm a little. First, because I’m cheap and I’m constantly comparing a piece of decor to a meal for my ever growing boys and their ever growing appetites! And second, I hesitate because I’m always thinking of a ways to reproduce what I see online... Read more

Can you believe it’s already June? It is so amazing to me that we’re already halfway through the year.Then I started to hyperventilate a little when I realized that June means Father’s Day! Usually, I’m prepared with a few good ideas, but I was stumped on what to get my husband this year. Just when I thought I had completely messed up, in swoops Jord Wood Watches to offer me (and you!) an amazing gift idea that is sure to... Read more

Do y’all collect stuff? People collect a whole lot of things from teacups to tchotchkes, seashells to spoons. I collect rocks. Is that weird? I just love nature. It grounds me. It reminds me of who I am, where I came from. Even one of my favorite songs talks about a tumbling rough rock becoming smooth through the torrents of life’s challenges. Too many times have I been that rough rock in much need of refining, just like this perfect... Read more

It’s the 4th of May and it’s a Star Wars fan’s dream day. A whole day where we can release our inner geek and greet other like minded fans with “May the 4th be with you!” Is your house full of Star Wars fans like ours? I have to confess that I didn’t not grow up a Star Wars fan. It wasn’t until I met my gorgeous husband that he introduced me to the the trilogy. Now this is a... Read more

I can’t believe that we just passed our 2 year anniversary of moving back here to Tennessee. And I can’t believe that my to do list for this house is still as long as it is. And I wish we could be sharing cup of coffee right now. I’d tell you all the juicy bits of our gypsy musician lifestyle from over the years and show you all the things I still dream of doing with this house. And that’s... Read more

Are you afraid of what creepy crawly, spidery things might try to make a home in that pile of scrap wood? We were able to make this adorable Blanket Ladder using that leftover wood for free ~ and we were able to make our garage a safer place... Read more

When we moved into our fixer upper 2 years ago, some of the needed work was completely overwhelming and I saw visions of my empty wallet with moths flying out. Other projects I knew I could tackle with some elbow grease and a can of spray paint.  Brass has been making a comeback recently and this home was chock full of brass fixtures.  Now there’s brass and there’s brass.  Yucky, cheap brass like the photo above and beautiful heavy swoon-worthy... Read more

  Ah, Spring is coming and I love adding elements of the new season to my decor. Today I’m sharing how I made a Spring inspired pie plate for my Kitchen island.  It was so cheap, that it literally cost me pennies! I did a blogger fail and forgot to take pictures of the pie plate separated, but as you can see, it’s a melamine type of plate and a glass candlestick. I used the same glue technique that I... Read more
