  • For the guest bath I used an old factory bread loaf pan to make a "serving tray" of necessities for guests. I set this out with a stack of white fluffy towels when overnight visitors come. Just store the tray until you need it! 3

Making Toiletries part of your Bathroom Decor.

I got this little shelf/table at Roundtop Antiques Show Lat year for $20. I love the look of stacked white towels in a bathroom and I didn't want all of them hidden in the linen closet. I ...»
decided to use this shelf next to the shower to store things I wanted within arms reach. You can open the shower door and literally grab a towel or a fresh bar of soap without stepping foot on the floor. Also within reach are q-tips, a basket of wash cloths and a basket of hand towels. It has been very handy, and by sticking to the all white formula, pretty as well. To visit my blog and see more stuff like this click here: http://farmhouseporch.blogspot.com

  • This picture was taken in the mid 1880's.  Since it looks like winter, we think it must have been a family Christmas picture.  My grandfather is sitting on his grandmother's lap.  1
  • My great grandmother is the very proper looking lady on the second row from the bottom, center picture. She loved to decorate & entertain.  When I'm setting my dining room table, I sometimes look at her, wondering if she would approve! 1

Bringing out the Ancestors!

I love old family pictures and have quite a few. We have this display in our dining room and it has been a good conversation piece when we have company. The pictures date back as far as ...»
the mid 1880's and up to early photos of my husband and I in the 1950's. It's nice to have the pictures out where we can remember past generations and introduce them to our children's generation.

Plate Racks in the Dining Room

As we say around here, "out of my head and thru my husband's hands." I thought it and he built it. Have pictured two plate racks on each side of the family pictures for many years. ...»
First, I painted the beadboard on them in red to match the beadboard that we have on the walls. Then after seeing so much white on Hometalk and Pinterest, I realized they needed to be white. Now I'm wondering about the wall beadboard, should it be white??? One thing leads to another!

Drying Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are so gorgeous whether they are fresh with their beautiful colors or faded when they dry. They are lovely to keep in the house all year round.

  • A plain wooden dresser got dressed up with chalkboard painted drawers. The two tall white shutters add emphasis to the pretty vintage mirror, giving the entire dresser more presence. 2
  • Me make a typical headboard?! Never! :) An old door topped with a vintage mirror created a romantic headboard. The patina on the door was amazing! I just scrubbed it down and protected it with a spray sealer. 3
  • A handmade vintage quilt and pretty vintage bedspread were ready and waiting for the arrival of the box springs that hadn't made it into the house yet.
  • A cute little white side table holds a clock that also received chalkboard paint. And I just HAD to inject a tiny bit of rust somewhere, so the flower vase was the perfect discreet place. :)
  • The curtains were white twin sheets with homemade tabs. A cut down laundry line was cut into pieces, knotted then hand stitched onto the sheets. Simple, casual and pretty! 1
  • Some extra storage was added behind the bedroom door by means of two reclaimed boards and different coloured hooks. Tip: you can't see the clutter when the door is wide open! 1

A $250 master bedroom makeover... for a family in need.

I along with 5 other DIY bloggers recently took a trip down South to the World's Longest Yard Sale. The tour ran through 6 states, starting in Michigan all the way to Alabama! ...»

The mission? Collecting for a single mom and her two kiddos moving into a lovely new Habitat home. GMC, the sponsor of the event, handed us a budget of $250 each and sent us on our way.

You know I'm a junker, right?! But I also understand not everyone else is, so the choices I made reflected what I loved yet in a more upscale manner. I decorated the master bedroom and here's what I came up with!

Click the link if you'd like to see a video of the full home reveal, including a link to the other 7 parts to this amazing story.

Have you ever helped out another in need with the talents you have? I'd love to hear about it!

I had this unfinished tool box for a long time. I've seen so many beautiful re purposed vintage tool boxes around that I became inspired to do something with mine. I wanted a weathered ...»
