A Coastal Inspired Globe

I gave an old globe a make-over using paper napkins and Mod Podge. This globe has had several different looks, but this one might just be my favorite! It was super easy to do (and inexpensive to boot!)

  • I think it should be law that every home has a front porch. Alongside tall pillars and flowers, there's no more welcome sight!
  • Quirky details make the grade here. LOVE the sign!
  • Why don't they make covered bridges any longer? So beautiful!  I wonder if there's an actual reason this use to be done?
  • These fences are built with no tools nor holes. They are scattered around Gettysburg and were used in the battlefields so the farmers could move them around. I ADORE this look and hope to emulate it somehow. Maybe around the garden...
  • Loving this grouping of trees in pots... who says a patio can't be lush and amazing?
  • An old train station wears cheerful, complimentary colours in Gettysburg. Note flowers aren't even missed when the building takes centre stage? It's beautiful!

  • Welcome to Karen's beautiful 2 story plus basement home! Come on in!
  • Karen is known online as The Graphics Fairy. She specializes in free vintage clipart as well as a DIY blog where she shows what to do with it.  She's on Hometalk at: http://www.hometalk.com/thegraphicsfairy
  • Imperfect perfection - a distressed black kitchen table is a true sign of warmth and casual. Coffee anyone? (her coffee was good too!)
  • Layers matter - platters holding dried hydrangeas are the perfect centrepiece, offering colour and a little bit of the outdoors.
  • Store it - vintage baskets and boxes store kitchen essentials. Bringing in wood tones offers warmth like nothing else.
  • Bring the outdoors in - a giant cloche on a wood round holding succulents brightens up this cool coffee table.
  • Group for impact - tarnished gold trophies are the perfect way to bring vintage bling into your vignettes. Grouping like minded components also gives you more bang for your buck.
  • Mix up overscale and small - statement pieces like this clock offer an amazing focal point, perfect for above a fireplace.
  • Fill things up - dried hydrangeas find their way into this sweet trophy used as a vase.
  • Tell a story - this lovely, airy bedroom with sheer curtains overlooks a meadow. The room colour marries the view perfectly!
  • Details count - the angel wings add an interesting quirk to this lovely tall armoire. It wouldn't have been the same without them!
  • Beautiful storage - Karen collects LOTS of paper, so she's found ways to avoid the big box stationery store and goes vintage instead with drawers, wire baskets, and bookshelves.
  • Make it yours - and sometimes we just need a little art around us for no other reason than to adore it.

A full home tour that'll knock your socks off! - The Graphics Fairy

Do you ever wish there was an official guidebook on how to decorate your home? When is there too much stuff? When is there not enough? ...»

Karen, who goes by The Graphics Fairy on her blog, has it DOWN. I recently had the privilege of spending a few days with her during the #htlucketts event and took advantage of the chance to shoot Karen's home.

Guys, this home is so inspiring. I'd call her style upscale vintage minimalist. She has JUST the right amount of everything, it's productive AND beautiful!

There's more to this tour via the blog link, however here's lots to get you started, loaded with some decor advice.

I only have one question... where's her BAD junk?! :)

DIY Mason Jar Kitchen Organizer

I am trying to add some color and organization into our kitchen after we painted it a cream color. I made this mason jar organizer out of a scrap piece of molding, pipe clamp, mason jar, ...»

DIY Cake Stand Kitchen Organizer

I don't know about you, but my kitchen counters can not have any clutter on them or I will go insane. It's not easy to keep the counter clean when there is things laying around. I was ...»
getting sick of my dish soap & hand soap lying around so I wanted to make something to clean it all up. I made this stand using a dollar store tray & a candlestick. I simply spray painted the two pieces & glued them together with super glue. I also added a bowl with white rags inside to cut back on our paper towel. They are super handy & great to bleach and keep clean for some "green cleaning". Check the post for all of the photos and info. Hope you guys love this simple DIY :)

  • Just inside Luckett's Store. I knew I was in for it when I turned the corner and saw this.
  • Outside ...just a few of the many tents with all the good stuff under and around them.
  • "The" store. Wow, is all I can say. You just know it's going to be great on the inside.
  • Windows anyone? Lots of gorgeous windows....
  • Front porch of the Design House...I love it all. Just a teaser for what's to come on the inside.
  • And yes, I just thought this little car was the coolest!

Repurposed Door Idea

My daughter, Daisy found an old door at a yard sale. She added baker's twine and attached her Instagram pictures with tiny clothespins. This will be an ever changing collage of pictures!

Tissue Paper Wall Flowers

I created this flower wall collage for my daughter's room by making tissue paper flowers and fan flowers with scrapbook paper and simply adhering them to the wall. This idea adds color and whimsy to any space! :)

The Summer Table: Game Boards as Placemats!

I love finding new ways to use old stuff - even in my table settings! This idea is a 'Fast, Cheap & Easy' TM way to add some FUN to your summer tablescapes... ...»

Use flat game boards as placemats!

This idea was inspired by a display I created in a my booth at a vintage show, and then replicated in a vintage store booth. This one wasn't even planned ahead of time ... when I sat items aside while I was working on the booth setup, I looked down and saw the Scrabble board under the plates and went 'DUH!' :)

It's pretty easy to find Scrabble boards (perfect for summer, because they are red, white, blue, and tan colors)and other old game boards at thrift stores - usually, the pieces are missing from games but the boards are still in the box. If you DO find one with pieces, you can spell out your guests' names! You can also use my Giant Letter Tile tutorial on the HOMEWARDfound blog to make 'Scrabble' tile coasters!
