They always say one man's trash is another man's treasure... and that couldn't be more true in my world! I love to take items that were thrown away and forgotten about and make them new again, breathe new life into them-- it's like normal recycling but more fun and still good for the planet! I personally feel like there HAS to be a way to make paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls without the center, but since that hasn't been figured out yet, I'm going to show you how to create farmhouse ... continue reading...

How to Use Old Soda Cans
As a family of 4, we go through soda cans like nobody's business. And of course, you can always recycle old soda cans or throw them away (no judgement here, that's your business), but even better if you can upcycle them for use in own life... and what better way than tags and labels!? Whether it be for decoration or organization, you can't go wrong! I recently made some DIY cardboard labels if that's more your jam, but today we're talking about how to create your own tin tags... from old soda ... continue reading...
Classic Style With Tasteful Taxidermy Decor
I have a penchant for taxidermy. Y'all get some classic style with tasteful taxidermy decor!!! I've rounded up a few inspiring pics for you to see that added a mount, horns, antlers and the like can be a stunningly beautiful addition to your decor. Taxidermy can evoke a cozy home atmosphere or breed a strong European home decor vibe. It doesn't matter if the taxidermy is actually something you harvested or gathered, you can make it yours. Of course, if you are a family of hunters or fishermen ... continue reading...
DIY Cardboard Labels for Beautiful Organizing
It's that time of year where organizing is on the brain, and I would imagine I'm not alone here. But, if you're like me, you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on new bins and labels, and alllll of the other organizing things one might THINK they need. So, it's been a big goal of mine to organize "out in the open" using pieces I already have, but maybe in a unique and different way. With that being said, I love to easily access and find things, and I think labels are sort of the best way to ... continue reading...

The Best Vintage-Inspired Coffee Tables
Coffee tables are a must-have in every home, at least in my book anyway. They tie the living room together and serve as a catch-all, which can be good and bad! Of course we need a place to set the things, whether that be a snack or plate, drink, or maybe even your computer if you're like me and sometimes like to get work done right from your couch! But it's also just a wonderful and easy place to decorate-- it's like the centerpiece of the room (almost like the centerpiece of your dining room ... continue reading...
My Favorite Playlists For A Cozy Home Atmosphere
Music just makes life more enjoyable, and you could never convince me otherwise. Whether you're having guests over for dinner, doing a little work, cooking (especially cooking), driving, or even chores, it's ALWAYS the right time for music! I will say though, the type of music I turn on definitely does depend on the task. For example, Brothers Osborne on full-blast may not be the right move for your fancy dinner party, but you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be jamming out to the that in the ... continue reading...
Must-have Fireplace Accessories
I think there are two types of people in this world, those that have a fireplace and NEVER use it and those that have a fireplace and ALWAYS use it (and I guess that group of people without a fireplace, but that kind of solves itself, doesn't it)! It's likely you're one or the other based on a couple different obvious factors like location or what your family's always done-- but I suspect, in many cases, it could simply be out of lack of convenience. I'm a believer that if it's difficult when ... continue reading...
DIY Wax Firestarters from Old Candles
Do you wonder what to do with old candles? I have the perfect DIY for ya! DIY wax fire starters make your fire smell amazing and help you get the fire burning. We've all been there-- our candles burn down to the bottom, but there's some wax still hanging out in the bottom. It won't light anymore, so you're just stuck with this glass jar, some wax, and no purpose for it. I'm sure you've seen people scrape out the wax remnants and repurpose the jar, or maybe combine waxes to create a ... continue reading...
What To Do With Left Over Wrapping Paper
I don't know about you, but I always have so much wrapping paper left over after the Holidays! I personally HAVE to buy at least 3 new wrapping paper rolls each year. What started as something to make my life easier, has now become a bit of a tradition in this family-- and that's different wrapping papers for each kid! They're different every year, they're different for every kid, and they're usually something that I feel matches their personality or reminds me of them (and they never know which ... continue reading...
