Farmhouse Flower Box: flea market flip
Some years the fall season creeps up on me like a snake in the grass. Not this year. Maybe it's because we recently painted our living room - after like 12+ years. And it feels like having a blank canvas to work with. I really do love fall so... as soon as the kids were back in school, I started pulling out pumpkins and fall decor. Hello fall.

Numbers, numbers, painted numbers.
Okay, so you could say I'm a bit obsessed with numbers right now. I'm seeing all kinds of numbered items on Pinterest, of course. It's a really easy way to update something that's already painted. I think it adds a bit of vintage spirit to your home - and in my case, both indoors and out! My mom recently purchased a Silhouette Cameo machine for me which makes it super easy to design a cool number stencil in any font I choose. I absolutely love everything about typography design and this sort … [Read more...] about Numbers, numbers, painted numbers.
