Whimsical Kitchen Canisters

It began with a dated 1970's hutch makeover, continued with a mason jar chandelier and fence board backsplash and now I want to share one of my smaller projects that gives a pop of color ...»

We have yellow on our walls and aqua as the accent color in our kitchen project. We took some old ceramic canisters, spray painted them, and I used my Cricut cutting machine to cut vinyl letters as labels. I love how it continues to bring this project together.

Setting the Table for an Spring Brunch Buffet

Special and simple are not mutually exclusive in my opinion! It's so easy to throw together an elegant brunch with a casual feel. Using many of my heirloom pieces, including my ...»
grandmother's tablecloth, creates a vintage feel while the white washed pots filled with daffodils keep things fresh and light. Flour sack towels were cut in half to make napkins which I stenciled with Spring-y scenes. And I'm all set for an lovely Easter Brunch Buffet! ~Vanessa #SpringFever #Easter #SpringDecor

Easy Button Art for Craft Room

I wanted unique art for my craft room. I picked up some round wood, drilled a few holes and did a little painting. The result is a fairly inexpensive whimsical display. Perfect for a craft room.

Simple yet bright colored monograms on linen add a punch of personality to my dining room. Have the embroidery done on a square of fabric and then make the pillows yourself. Inexpensive ...»

Well, who says Easter has to be all pastel and plastic eggs?

I found a way to incorporate Easter into my decor in an elegant way! Using paper maché Easter eggs, some paint and embellishments, I created some pretty classy eggs. Check them out! #easter

Vintage Airplane Kids Room

We used lots of reclaimed materials and thrifty DIY elements in my son's room. A pallet headboard, a huge branch as a curtain rod, an old map turned into a wreath, an old dresser revamped.
