I was only half kidding a few posts back when I said that Pinterest makes me feel like a failure. I have a healthy love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I love love love the creativity and inspiration I find with every search. Yet, I sometimes feel like I’m not worthy to hold a candle to the rest of the Pinterexperts. I think I’m a crafty person and I know I’m a thrifty person, but there are times when I doubt my ability. The perfectionist in me shouts out – it needs to be better! Read the rest of this entry ?

The Polka Dot Bride
I always keep fresh flowers in my home, especially in the spring time. Flowers are a beautiful way add an uplifting and invitational vibe to your space. Most of the time I use fresh-cut flowers, that way I’m not held accountable when they die Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Good Ole Mason Jar
April 22, 2013
Ahh… the mason jar. A staple of the South. There is never a shortage of this jar at Goodwill and it’s not just for the Redneck’s wine or Aunt May’s jelly. The mason jar can be used in a variety of ways! I make it a point to grab one when I visit Goodwill… seriously, you can’t have too many… and I’m a minimalist! Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Pray for No Rain
April 15, 2013
I was planning on redecorating my girls’ bedroom dresser this past weekend, but unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. Since she decided to water my strawberries instead of giving me appropriate weather to decorate outside, my dresser reveal post will have to wait until next week. Which I guess is okay, because it gave me a chance to do a little more researching on DIY dressers and totally changed my idea. I am amazed at how creative some people are!

Weekend DIY Project: Think Outside The Planter
April 8, 2013
Finally! It feels like SPRING! Once the weather gets nice like this, my family like to spend most of our time outside, soaking up the sun and the fresh air. This is when I start my planting and my “outdoor decorating”. Since I try to repurpose anything and everything, my goal is to not purchase any new pots this year and instead, think “outside the container”. Not only will it save money, but The Micro Gardner points our 10 other benefits to using repurposed planters here. Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Get Organized!
March 18, 2013
Since the great “accident“, we have gotten new carpet in all of the bedrooms, new hardwood floors in the living room and hallway and a new found respect for “zen-living”. Once we pulled all of our “stuff” out of the house, we realized how much “stuff” we actually have and are really taking a good look at what we want in our life and what we can let go. It’s amazing how much space you can find in your house once you let some things go. It’s actually quite freeing!
Here are a few simple ways to reduce the clutter: Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Get Lucky
February 25, 2013
I’m sure Brit will go over the highs and lows of Oscar fashion with you tomorrow, so I’ll move onto utilizing Goodwill for the next holiday which is one of my favorites – St. Patrick’s Day! Since my Irish eyes are always smiling, I especially like it when everone breaks out their Irish heritage, dons green apparel and noshes on corned beef and cabbage while Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Add Some Spring To Your Life!
February 11, 2013
With the unseasonably warm (and rainy) weather we’ve been having lately, I’m getting excited that spring is right around the corner… or in 5 more weeks according to Mr. Punxsutawney Phil (I totally don’t get that tradition). Anywho, there are many simple ways to transition your decor from Winter Blah to Fresh Spring!
In most cases, you can find items perfect for Spring decor at Goodwill: colorful vases, bold prints, brightly colored frames… or… you can make them yourself Read the rest of this entry ?
Weekend DIY Project: Love Decor
February 4, 2013
LOVE is in the air! Okay, well, physically it’s on the bookshelf, but these little Valentine’s Day frames definitely make my heart smile! And they were oh-so-simple to make (and free using supplies I already had – Bonus!)!
Almost everytime I go shopping at Goodwill, I grab a frame (or two) to add to my stash, and those purchases came in handy with this project! I was inspired to add a some Valentine’s Day cheer to my home on a recent trip to Target – their Read the rest of this entry ?
Wintertime Woes?
January 23, 2013Life lately in Charleston has been everything, but “wintry”. However, we finally got a bit of chilly air coming through- this makes me very happy! I’m sure many of you out there are still working your way through the dark and cold months of winter. What do you do to lift your spirits as the temperature drops?
Like any other mid-twenties female, my go to when I want a quick pick me up is of course….Retail Therapy. And if you happen to be one of the many looking for a splurge here’s a great wintertime list:
