For as long as I can remember, I've wanted a farmhouse style sink. It fits my cottage style aesthetic and there's really nothing more charming, but it was beyond my budget, so here's how I faked it with a few cabinet modification and a new kitchen faucet. * Pfister Faucets provided me with this beautiful faucet, but all opinions expressed here are my very own. Unfortunately, for me, it just never seemed to be in the cards. When we moved into this house and renovated , my husband and contractor both conspired against me citing cost, construction and leaks, so I abandoned the battle. Well, sort of.

Whip up a warm and welcoming sign for your front door with an old ceiling fan blade and some dollar store flowers.  It's an easy DIY that packs a very colorful punch! I've always been a huge fan of simplicity. Whether it's my wardrobe or home decor, fussy has never been my style . In my closet , you'll find jeans, white t-shirts and little black dresses that I pair with a single strand of pearls. In my kitchen , there are vases and wreaths filled with all the same bloom, no mixed bouquets, and my rooms are decorated with a pairing of one color and white. So it makes perfect sense that when I decided to make a new fan blade sign, I went with sweet and simple sentiment. Hello.

Create a unique piece of home decor with an embroidery hoop and a placemat doily. Sometimes when I go to the thrift store, I find items I like, but have no idea what I'm going to do with them once I get them home. That was the case with this embroidery hoop.  It caught my eye because it was unusually large. Huge actually, so I picked it up.

Whip up this cheap and easy Dollar Store Daisy Wreath in no time and for about six bucks. Plus it can do double duty as a candle ring. Check out the super simple DIY. So spring has finally shown up, unfortunately the sun has not. It's been raining here for several days and the forecast doesn't look any different for the next week or so. Bummer. That's ok, I decided to make my own sunshine...and for about six bucks. Take that, Mother Nature .

I went to the thrift store to see if I could find something fabulous in the fashion area for under ten bucks. Here's my tale. And it isn't pretty. So I've been talking a lot about thrift stores and my fun finds lately . Hunting for treasure and then displaying it in my home or transforming it into something new has become somewhat of a passion . I enjoy browsing and I love every square inch of my thrift store. I dig deep into each and every corner. Well, almost every corner. True confession? I stay far, far away from the fashion.

Finally...spring has arrived in my neck of the woods and I am ready to shop! Ok, well, not really shop, shop, but thrift shop and as far as I'm concerned, looking for buried treasure during the warmer months is the best. Why, you ask. Well, the short answer is because I am not in an actual shop. And what could be better than that after a long, long winter?
