Cottage style decor doesn't have to be defined by one element, like a braided rug or floral sofa. Take a chance and experiment. You may love what you create.

It's official. My kitchen makeover is finally complete.

Ok, well, not completely complete, one thing certainly does lead to another, but the breakfast area is done and I must say, it was totally worth the wait.

And phew...because honestly, I had my doubts.

Have questions about Exquisitely Unremarkable DIYs, projects or crafts? You're not alone. So let's get to the answers.

Today, I'm going to try something totally new here at Exquisitely Unremarkable. Today, they'll be no DIY, no crafty creations and no decorating reveal.

Nope.

Today, I'm going to answer some of your {not so} burning questions.

Shopping from home is the best and when you find a retailer you love, it's even better!

I love old sayings. I think it's because I was raised on them. My mom was the undisputed queen of dishing them out.

Growing up, virtually every life lesson came wrapped up and delivered in one of these tidy little packages.

Simple words to illustrate her points, but the older I got, the more I realized how true they were. That's clearly why they've stood the test of time.

Clear glass pumpkins with LED lights are all the rage this fall, but you don't have to break the bank to get the look.

Every now and again, I pop into the thrift store for a little me time break and find something truly outstanding. Of course, by outstanding, I mean a cute trinket that costs less than five bucks and is in relatively good condition.

The bar really isn't that high.

I have a confession to make. For far too long now, I’ve been working on some curtains for both my master bathroom and my kitchen. This journey to new decor began way back in...ummm...April or May?

But here we are on the cusp of November and I'm just finishing them up now.

Oh boy.
