a few new updates...designing on a dime

 pumpkins from gentrys: kale for planter from hewitts: love local
 lamp stands from bella rustica barn sale
a last minute steal as they were closing out the day!
 bright light at the front door:now we can see our new door from both outside and in!

 original blue prints provided from the previous owner. thanks gary!
metal table made with recycled glass from an ugly old table: thanks to my father-in-law
and my dearest mike for making it as my birthday gift.

 our new (old) mantle gifted to us from our wonderful new neighbors: one mans trash is
another mans treasure. thank you annie sloan paints for making the mantle a quick and easy project!

below: old window from our dear friends new home: once again, their trash; our treasure. 
a little chalboard paint + a bistro marker equals our weekly planner



 new black and brown wood carvings: my recent favorite thrifting find

 laundry/bathroom: babys breath, an easy and inexpensive way to add a little life to any space
 little sheer curtains (fabric found in attic) added for much needed privacy 
to this front facing bathroom
 jars from walmart, true value and terrain: always useful for sorting and organizing

 a favored hand-me-down from our old (and missed) neighbor, sandy
wonderful gifts, also handed down from sandy: second hand wins!!
