Garden Porch Whimsy ~ Thrift Haul

By Chris Ann on July 16, 2012 6 Comments

On of my favorite things about scouring junk shops, thrift stores and antique shops is finding that unique piece that makes you smile. This little turtle guy is one of those things. Truth is I don't even know for sure what it is. Do you? I just know to me this mesh and metal turtle felt garden-y, whimsical and happy. It goes great with my Dandelion picture and adds to the finds that give my Front Porch Inspiration. Sure, there is always something to work on. Do you spy with your eye my not yet planted Dalia? … [Read more...]

Vintage Fabric Garland

By Kristin on June 26, 2012 3 Comments

One of the things I've been working on for my son's Vintage Americana Graduation Parties is a vintage fabric garland. I found some old scraps of vintage, red, white, and blue fabric in my basement. I cut strips into 2" by 12" and tied them onto a piece of twine, pushing the pieces close together. I wanted it to look full and thick. I looked for fabrics with different textures but with the same color palette. Right now it's about 20 feet long. It has to be able to stand on it's own at the park pavilion and will be perfect … [Read more...]

How to Stage a House-Living Room

By Kristin on June 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

In the last How to Stage a House post, I shared with you tips for setting the stage with good bones. You can read more HERE. I am going to walk you through the house and share with you tips for making each room inviting, starting with the Living Room. Dani wanted to use as much of her mom's furniture as she could in staging the house. Her budget was small, $400, and she didn't know where to start. The first thing I did, was go through the house to see all that was available. I took mental note of colors that were similar in … [Read more...]

Front Porch Inspiration

By Chris Ann on May 29, 2012 7 Comments

My latest thrift haul? A red canvas picture of a dandelion. I added this piece of art to my front porch framed by an old green window right below a sign of twigs that says DREAM. I like the symbolism together, DREAM, an OPEN WINDOW and my Dandelion canvas showing POSSIBILITY. Dandelions remind you of a million bits of possibilities. “Our aspirations are our possibilities” ~ Samuel Johnson And, that's why when I found my piece of art I just had to haul it home. It never hurts to have a reminder while … [Read more...]

Bedside Table Space Intervention

By Chris Ann on May 1, 2012 1 Comment

You know when life takes over and you become too tired to put away clean laundry, put away the scissors and drop your book or magazine off the bed right in the middle of reading? Yeah, that. So, today I am going to share with you the sad state of my bedside space and what I did about it. Below. It wasn't making me happy. It was down right treacherous getting into bed with out slip sliding away on a magazine. Evidence of ironic attempts at order - sloppily piled magazines leaning up against books on Decluttering … [Read more...]

How To Pick a Sofa

By Kristin on April 25, 2012 12 Comments

How do you pick out a sofa? I mean, buying a sofa is like adding a new member to your family, right? It has to have the right personality, blend in, be comfortable, unpretentious and pleasing to the eye, right? The last time we bought a sofa, it was about coming home. We bought the sofa that was affordable and symbolic. But, it only held up for 8 years before the frame broke. This time we decided to choose a sofa that would last. As part of our participation in Test It, Blog It, Win It at Su Casa*, we were invited to come … [Read more...]

Magical Fairy Container Garden

By Chris Ann on April 22, 2012 4 Comments

I've been thinking of doing a fairy garden for some time ~ and since warm spring weather has been playing hide and seek with us here in Minnesota, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make an inside fairy container garden. Fairies it turns out are kinda overpopulating and are in need of habitats - thus the rage. And, well with my bff all the way in Maryland, I'm thinking why not make friends with some invisible people. (Hmmmm. Lonely for some girl time much?) Fairy Gardens are starting to become popular enough … [Read more...]

Spring Pumpkins

By lovefeasttable on April 16, 2012 Leave a Comment

We're not gonna lie. We're a little bit obsessed about velvet pumpkins. So much so that we can't just stand one season of them. So, we decided to do Spring Pumpkins ~ in fresh raspberry, coral-ly, springy delicious colors. Believe it or not ~ this coral color velvet was once buried to the back of the velvets in the workroom. Until ~ we saw it and brought it back in for spring! Isn't it delicious? And, that's not all! Remember the HeartGrams we feature for Valentine's Day? The red beautiful plush … [Read more...]
