How to Style Collections as Seasonal Decor: Vintage Transferware Thanksgiving Mantel


Hi there, Friends! What comes to mind when you hear the word collection? A hutch full of matching dishes inherited from a loved one? A mismatched assortment of whimsical animal figurines? The best collections are gathered over time, treasured and displayed--not tucked away in a cabinet. There's no specific number that qualifies as a collection.

If you're not a collector, no worries--a similar mantel can be styled by shopping your home, garden and maybe a trip to the grocery store...

A Simple Thrifty Guest Room Refresh


Greetings Friends! I'm curious, what's your method for completing decorating projects in your home--within several days or over a longer period, like weeks or even months?  Most of the time when I tackle a project, I'll confess it's with a specific time frame in mind. It may take longer than I anticipated, and I may have more than one project going on at the same time, but overall I am a very start-to-finish type of girl. Depending on the task, it could be hours or a few days, but I usually finish within the week. However, this year I adapted a more relaxed approach when I decided to refresh a guest bedroom...

Greetings Friends! A few months ago I freshened up my bedroom.  In addition to updating the flooring, I rearranged some furniture.  For comfort, I decided to move this cozy chair from another room but originally it was the wrong color.  Today I'm sharing my solution--no sewing or painting required!

Friday's Find: A Home for Rosie!

Hi there, Friends! Today's fabulous find is a real treat!  A few years ago, when I updated my living room, I searched relentlessly for a Vintage sofa.

Hometalk: Decorate a Dorm Room for Less Inspiration

Hello Friends! As a fairly new blogger, I have only recently learned about: 
                                           


Featured on Hometalk.com 


Here's a few things I have learned. First of all, it is a virtual fount of information right at your fingertips! I have been adding my blog posts, but anyone can join and benefit from countless tips on a wide range of topics.  Members have the option of posting questions for home, garden and DIY dilemmas.  There is a tab for Ask a Question and another for Find Pros.  I love that this information is available without having to pick up the phone or leave the house! You can imagine I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by Liz, a Community Manager for Hometalk. She had seen my post on Dorm Room Style and asked if I would be interested in curating an inspiration board.  Would I? Ummm....yes!
