I have been searching for a while  to find metal gym lockers for our mud room/laundry room. It is quite narrow and I needed a better solution for our coats and shoes. Although there are only three of us in this house it still can get very messy. Plain and simple it was driving me nuts! Shoes were piled on a shoe tray and coats hung on a coat rack that was mounted to the wall. It never looked neat it was always an unorganized mess. Does this sound familiar to any of you? As I  was searching for vintage metal gym  lockers they were either way out of my price range or I would only find one or two. Just recently while out shopping with a friend at a garage sale I found this set of vintage metal gym lockers for 50.00! Actually they were 60.00 but I talked him down ... View Post

Star Wars. I am thrilled to share a special feature today. Nope it's not about me or about home decorating. My two great nieces were featured in one of there favorite magazines!

Recently when I guest hosted on Jennifer Rizzo's blog I shared how I love adding fresh flowers to my home and  how I like to use  unique vintage  items as vases. Today while I was at our market Jewel they had a dozen roses on sale for 6.00. Of course I scooped them up brought them home. I remembered I had an old tea kettle that I could use. That spout is perfect for adding more water when I need to! I was inspired when I saw this on Becky's sweet blog buckets of burlap sometime ago. After adding these roses I knew I had the perfect spot for them. I decided to change my centerpiece I had on my farmhouse table. Remembering I also had a pretty blue tray I added the tea kettle on top of the tray and placed it on the table. But it was missing something. Ah ... View Post

For just one day the weather here felt like summer. A day to put on your shorts and your  cool summer shirt and of course some flip flops. I was invited to go on a girls day out for a bit of shopping. And the day could not have been more perfect. Kris from Junk Chic Cottage invited me to go out for a girls day of shopping. When I arrived I was greeted with this beautiful bouquet of roses in this pretty white pitcher. This Lady knows my style! I also got a quick tour of her beautiful home. I knew how beautiful her home was from photos she has shared of her home but seeing it in person let me see how amazing her home is! If you can even imagine it could be even prettier in person. Well it is! Kris took me to Morris Illinois to check out some great ... View Post
