Are you as excited for me as I am? Think of all the tinkering that can be done!
I hope to get this new-to-me workbench all nestled away, in her spot in the garage, asap.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Jess
I was given this beautiful, handmade pine cone wreath a number of years ago. (Thanks Aunt Mary J0!)
For Christmas, it needed a bit of festivity splashed on her.
1. Start with a plain pine cone wreath. The wreath could stand alone too, it’s so wintery and natural. But, that wouldn’t be as much fun, now would it?
2. Gather a pile of festive items. Thank you Target and The Dollar Store for low, low prices!
3. Add some items to the wreath. Here are the details. I alternated white snowflakes with red ornaments. I used three of each item for a nice decorator balance. (Like I know what I’m talking about!?) I placed a big letter M in the center of the wreath for a personalized touch. The M is made from papier-mache (from a local craft store) and covered in polka-dotted scrapbook paper.
4. Ta-Dah!
I love adding a festive flair to my home. It reminds me about the reason for the season, Jesus is Born!
Love,
Jess

Just a little bling for that Christmas touch!
Just a reminder of what the farm window looked like before:

As many of you know my house has 2 bedrooms with 6 family members! Peter and I took the smaller of two rooms (“before” post) when we found out I was expecting twins. We worked all summer and fall, slowly sifting through our junk, to get organized enough to fit into our new smaller space.
Here are some decor shots from my new bedroom.
I kept that old farm house window from the garbage pile! Click here for my post about sorting and purging, in which, I claimed I would simply perish if I didn’t have that window. (even though it went unused for 3 years)
More re-purposed farm wood! This board was part of a chicken coop of yesteryear and discarded. I washed her up, removed the nails and gave a once over with some sand paper. I used a light white wash to brighten it up a bit. Then I added my name with a sharpie and stencils. Of course the year of establishment is our wedding year. I can’t believe I’ve been married over 7 years already!
Well, I just noticed the shelf decor could use a little more centering.
That’s all for now! Gotta go feed those babies.
Love,
Jess
