Junk chic cottage

Dilemma!!!! I found that cute door and have run out of wall space in my little house so I need some help and your opinions! I put the door where I had the ladder and like it but not sure if I like it better than the ladder. What do you think????? Ladder????? Door????? Ok update I think I have found a perfect space for this door. I think I like the door in the back of my dining room leading out to the deck. Now I can leave the ladder in the living room. I thought I would share some pictures I…

Hope your Labor Day Week End is going good. We have a wedding today. I thought I would show you some up dates to the guest room and some new treasures I found. This is the old door I had hanging on the wall. It just was not doing it for me. So out it went. That's right the door hoarder got rid of a door!!!! It was old and chippy and had been on the other side of the room but it just did not feel right there. So being the door hoarder that I am, I had to replace it with another door. This was…

Here is my kitchen Redo. My 2014 blog resolution is to not spend any money on Redo's in my home and to repurpose things I already have into the new decor. I did just that in the new kitchen makeover. I am really excited that this whole project. It was done with the only money spent on one can of paint and some new cabinet knobs I got at Hobby Lobby with a Christmas gift card. I was able to remake a lot of what I had either into new pieces, which I love to repurpose or brought back things I…

Hi Everyone. I took a break from taking care of my grandgirls, helping my mom out and doing things at the new house to have a "mental health" day with a good friend. We hopped in my car and drove down to Tipton Indiana to the French Market they have there in the summer. It took us about 2 hours to drive there and the time flew with all the catching up we did talking in the car. Horton's is a hardware home and garden store like no other. It is as cute as can be. It has your typical hardware…

The She Shed is starting to get some work done. She got a nice coat of white paint inside and out. I am thinking of painting the door a color like yellow or light blue. Not sure if I should keep it white or paint it. What do you think? The door needs to be sanded down in some spots even if I keep it white. I also would like to find a cute vintage knob for the top door. Terry took the old door and made it into a dutch door. This way I can have the bottom door closed and still have the top…

I started a little of my fall decor. A little early since we are still having summer temps here in Illinois. Our summer this year has been above normal in heat and humidity. Not a lot of those beautiful 80's and no humidity days. I am a summer girl but I am looking forward to fall this year. I took the summer flowers out of my french basket and added in new fall flowers. My sweet scarecrow is ready for fall. Fall over the Armoire This is a special weekend for Terry and I. We will be…

Yeah!!! Hump Day. How is your week going? Mine did not start out so good. We had a tragic accident with my brand new I Mac computer that I have only had for 5 weeks and made only one payment on!!!!! While doing a project in my office using vintage doors my hubby dropped one of the doors onto the computer and shattered the screen. Yep!!! brand new screen ruined. My husband felt so bad but it is what it is and we took her to Apple and they put her in the Apple hospital for a face lift. Since…
