My Stunning Vintage Book Wall

April 5, 2017 4 Comments

Hey friends! I’ve been a busy little bee since I hit “Silver” in Young Living. It’s like a light bulb went off and I’m starting to take my business seriously. Don’t be sad, I haven’t forgotten about all  you devoted readers. I just made a choice to start posting more quality content instead of blogging almost every day. But today I decided to create my own rendition of a vintage book wall.

We live in a world where inspiration is hitting us at all sides and being on Instagram is no different. I first saw this amazing book wall done by Erin at Cotten Stem Interiors and my first reaction was “ew”. I didn’t like how busy it looked.. flash forward a few months and I was starting to really fall in love, so much so that today I decided  that I wanted to create a book wall in my entrance!

I mean, everything about her picture is perfect. But my favourite part of this entire room? Hands down, the bench. We are in the progress of building or finding a salvaged bench for our entrance as I recently brought the pew that was in our entrance into our dining room. It looked way too good to move it back.

Here’s my rendition of my “Vintage Book Wall“, keep in mind, the bench is going once I find something better.

These vintage book wall speaks to my heart. They are books that my Grandma and Grandpa were given as kids. I actually have a big pile of them that I use for decor and I took the 3 books that were falling apart and created some art of them. I mean, it’s a lot more personal than throwing the books that were loosing their pages in the garbage.

and there you have it. My project for the day. I so badly needed to turn my brain off and spend time designing. Sometimes my creativity gets plugged up in my brain and I can’t think or do much to save my soul. Now that’s it’s unplugged I’ll be a lot more efficient in the real world. E-Design clients, I’m specifically talking about you!

Let me know in the comments what you think about this feature wall, and of course.. pinning my images is welcomed HEAPS.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

DIY Shiplap Wall Hanging

February 11, 2017 6 Comments

Hey again friends. We’ve been doing a lot of projects around the house lately and this one was done a few weeks ago and I don’t think I ever showed you.

If I could ever shiplap my entire house I would literally die. But, that wont happen until we purchase home someday out in the country. For now, we need to build DIY Shiplap Wall hangings so I can get my fill. These are amazing for renters that don’t want to put holes in the walls & you can move it if you get tired of it.

Ideally, I think I want to make one that expands through our entire dining room, but for now, this one will do.

We cut a little hole in our sign so we can still use our outlet as we plan to eventually build a sliding barn door console for this nook and have two pretty rustic lamps in here. But for now, we have this beat up X-Frame Console Table hanging out & it serves its job.

In these photos the console looks so busy, but in real life it looks so pretty. Not busy at all.

I absolutely love my rustic tired mug holder that I purchased when we lived in the old farmhouse. I had it on my Island for the longest time and now I’m kind of loving it on this console.

It’s basically just a compilation of things I love. Beat up decor & distressed goodness.

If wanting to also build this ultra easy shiplap sign, head on over to Design, Dining & Diapers. She has a great tutorial up. We never really followed a tutorial when making ours, but then we totally forgot to document the plans. So head on over to her blog and she has super easy to follow plans.

Thanks for stopping in today. We are busy building a bed for my parents as well a toddler bed for our daughter today. The snow is starting to melt which, I’m not going to lie, makes me sad. But trying to boost spirits with other things today. Also, because people ask me where my pieces are from, constantly. I’ll be doing shopable links in the bottom of every post so you can see where to buy everything.

PS. I totally realized I blogged about this twice.. so ignore my insanity and double posting!

Have an amazing weekend friends!
