Vintage Fall Decorating Ideas
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." - F. Scott Fitzgerald We had some really exciting and unexpected happenings this fall (more on that later) so I'm a little late to the fall home tour party. But I still wanted to share of my vintage home vignettes with you. If there's one thing we know and love around here, it's decorating with vintage finds. So, sit back and relax. Imagine the scent of wood smoke in air, a crisp and cool breeze swirling the leaves, and maybe … [Read more...] about Vintage Fall Decorating Ideas
Behind the Blog: Home Office & Craft Space
Today I'm going to show you where the magic happens. Instead of a traditional home office, my creative space is a nook carved out of our dining room. For this busy mom, it is an ideal way to multi-task homework, dinner, bills and of course, blog posts and DIY projects - right in the heart of our home! Oh, and this old house wasn't equipped with an office (or even a closet on the first floor). Work with what you've got. Right?!? Behind the Blog Thank you for stopping by our … [Read more...] about Behind the Blog: Home Office & Craft Space
DIY Graduation Party Ideas
One of my most favorite jobs next to being a mama to my two boys is being an aunt to all 7 of my nieces and nephews. When I met my husband he was already an uncle to this adorable four-year-old who also stole my heart the first time I met her. It was very clear she adored her uncle YaYa - an endearing nickname she created for him. I loved watching them together and knew from that moment that this guy was going to be a great dad someday. Fast forward a few years... and I still wonder how it … [Read more...] about DIY Graduation Party Ideas

Holiday Trimmings: Vintage Toy Trucks
Hello December! Instead of our usual monthly vintage variety show post, I'm going to share a little project that incorporates our curated vintage toy trucks into our holiday home decor. I remember watching Babes in Toyland on TV as a kid (of course, I always liked the 1960s version with Annette Funicello better than the 80s version). My favorite scene was when they g0t to drive around in those little battery powered cars. I always wished I had one of my own! Who didn't, right?!? Well, … [Read more...] about Holiday Trimmings: Vintage Toy Trucks
Vintage Home Decor for Fall
A bit of cooler weather a few weeks ago really put us in the mood for fall around here. In Indiana, the seasons seem to flip back and forth a few times before they actually stick. So, it's been a week of 80 degrees, then a week of mid-60s and now we are back up to 80s again. I realize fall isn't for a few weeks but I'm looking forward to bringing out the denim with the cooler temps. My mom and I were discussing our fall decor plans during our impromptu trip to T.J.Maxx last Saturday... and … [Read more...] about Vintage Home Decor for Fall
Starry Night Stencil Patriotic Table Makeover
I'm a child of the 80s. And to be honest... until recently when I thought of stencils (or the art of stenciling) my mind would fill with images of primitive decor and painted amish kids sitting next to bent willow trees with a heart in between them. I have memories of my mom dragging a ladder around the dining room to stencil a floral border on the wall near the ceiling. Many of you may have done the same. (She has since painted over them. She will read this and would want me to mention it. … [Read more...] about Starry Night Stencil Patriotic Table Makeover
