Wooden picture frames are a great home decor accessory, but they can be pricey. Update a bargain priced one from a thrift shop with some red chalk paint to add a pop of color to your home. It's an easy DIY that any beginner can handle. Happy first Saturday of spring, friends! Woo hoo! I can't tell you how excited I am that the seasons have changed. That the sun sets an hour later. That the birds are chirping outside my window. That the forsythias and daffodils are blooming. There's a bounce in my step and whole lot of spring crafting and decorating around here. I've been collecting thrift items and craft supplies for months in anticipation of the warmer weather and today I'm sharing one of my favorites. It's a thrift store makeover that I completed in a flash. It was only $5.99 and now, it's red.

Looking for an easy way to make your very own custom wooden sign? Well, here's how you can create one to match your personalized decor with wall decals and wooden boards from the Dollar Tree. In under an hour and for under five bucks. Thrift stores have always provided me with the most wonderful pieces to makeover. Whenever I need a little decorating muse I head on over to one of my local shops and poke around. Something always catches my eye. Then I take it home and make it over into something fabulous . Well, at least it's always something I think is fabulous. However.

I made my own designer Easter eggs, large home decor versions, like I'd seen in a high end catalog for a lot less. With a little bit of creativity, and no fancy skills, I had very similar eggs and I made them in under an hour. I can't remember if it was last year or the year before when I first saw them, but the moment my eyes caught them on the page, I was smitten. They were larger than life, full of spring color and so elegant. These  Designer Easter Eggs . But boy, were they pricey.

Sometimes the ugliest thrift store finds can make the most beautiful DIYs. My wooden candle holder makeover turned a burnt, waxy mess into a stunning piece of decor. Over the past several years thrift store shopping has become one of my very favorite pastimes. I used to enjoy popping into one occasionally. On my way to a Marshalls or HomeGoods. However, over the past two years, I've completely abandoned the chain stores and find myself browsing the thrift aisles on a regular basis instead. Why? Well, for one thing they're all in different towns, so they all have very different types of merchandise.  They also get new items daily, so you never know what you're going to find and, best of all, since they're second hand shops, everything is cheap. And let's face it, that's the best part.

Use a dollar store vinyl faux tin ceiling tile and a wooden bunny cutout to create a sweet spring wreath to dress your front door and welcome Easter! The countdown is officially on and, if Mother Nature behaves, spring should be hopping into my neck of the woods in about 13 days. And I can't wait. Now, normally, I don't rush the seasons. I enjoy taking them one at a time. However. Winter has never been my favorite time of year, so I figured it'd be okay to get a little jump on the new season. And woo it a bit.

Good March morning friends! Today, I'm coming to you on the eve my 3,650th day of blogging. In short, that's 10 years. Yup. A decade of blogging. My, my where did the time go? While I have all the posts to prove it, my brain is having a hard time processing it. Somehow it just doesn't feel that long. Two, maybe three years, but a decade of Exquisitely Unremarkable? How could that be?

Never a dull moment. When I was a kid, it was a phrase I heard often. And it was always dripping with sarcasm.  I didn't understand it at the time. Although, in hindsight it makes perfect sense. I guess with a large family, children simultaneously in high school and preschool, a big house and yard, a menagerie of pets, and a husband that owned his own small business, my mom was always putting out some fire. Now, as a parent, with a house and yard, pets of all shapes and sizes, and a small business of my own, I totally get it. Sometimes it really does feel like there's always something or someone to attend to. This weekend was a perfect example.
