We've had these lanterns on our porch steps for years. I originally bought them at Home Goods. They were looking pretty beat up after being in the elements year after year. I love the shape of them though so I didn't want to toss them. So I picked off some of the rust and gave them a quick makeover. Keeping with my beachy/nautical theme for the porch, I gave them a couple of coats of white...
Last Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We treated ourselves to a night out for Chinese and a little saki. The bottles were so cute that I tossed them in my handbag once they were finished. I decided to use some rub-on transfers for them and thought these number signs would be cute. I also added some tea-stained seam binding to the tops of each bottle. I rolled up some French...

Beachy Porch Reveal
I'm just about done with the finishing touches on our beachy porch theme. I have a few more things to add like Dollar Store sand buckets, candle holder jars (with sand), citronella candle buckets and the anchor plaques. Here we are as of today. We spend a lot of time on our porch swing. I bought the cushion from The Christmas Tree Shops. It's not included in my $100 budget as I bought it before I...

A Few More Nautical Touches
My beachy porch theme is slowly coming together. I'm just waiting on a few more items and then I'm pretty confident I've reached my $100 budget. Here a few new pieces that I added yesterday. I originally had my starfish tucked in a little bucket with starfish decals. Didn't completely love it, so I added them to this urn instead which I'm loving much better now. It got a coat of paint to match the...
I'm a firm believer that if life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Case in point, my broken dress form peat pot. I bought some rub-on transfers from Joann's a couple of weeks ago. Now, I'm no expert on rub-ons. I've only used them a handful of times. After rubbing for what seemed like forever, this transfer just didn't seem to be happening. So I kept at it. I must have moved it while rubbing...
We had such a crazy busy weekend that I wasn't able to take in any garage sales. Boy, am I itching! I did pop into our local church thrift store and found these two goodies. Not sure how old the jewelry piece is but I found it to be interesting and unique. Thinking about painting it white. The old compact doesn't have too many markings but it's in great condition for an old piece. I...
