Decorative Mason Jar bathroom Storage

Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend! I've updated many mason jars in the past, so I knew they would be the perfect solution to help maximize storage in our master bathroom.  My plan is to remove everything out of our bulky medicine cabinet and replace it with a pretty round mirror.  That meant getting creative with how to store items over our toilet and under the sink.  There are many pretty decorative jars I could have bought and believe me I was tempted to buy them. Then I pulled myself back to reality and realized I could get a very similar look for much less using mason jars.  ...

Natural Birch Bark Pumpkin Art

Creating new pumpkin projects is one of my favorite things about fall.  In the past, I've used everything from pallets , tin cans , mason jars ,  fabric and felt and today I'm using something completely different, birch bark. Sometime last year I picked up a pack of natural birch bark from Hobby Lobby.  I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but thought it would be neat to use in a future craft project.   That day came when I was digging through one of my craft drawers in August and got the idea to create pumpkin art.  Yes, I've been holding out on posting this project since I'm sure no one wanted to think about pumpkins when it was 100 degrees outside.  ...

Today, I'm talking all about the fireplace wall and how much I love my new mixed metal bookcase . ...

$5.00 Thrifty Farmhouse Transformations

Thrift stores are one of my favorite places to go when I'm bored, want to pass time or get my shopping fix without spending a lot of money.  Lucky for me I pass a pretty decent one when I head into town.  Most times I walk out with nothing (okay, maybe a book!), but every now and then I find some pretty awesome pieces to transform. My favorite inexpensive thrift store scores are the $3.00 vintage metal card catalogs  that I updated and the Anthropologie knock off hooks.    I was not expecting to find either item, which just goes to show that you never know what you'll find. ...
