Before Pics of the Porch

Hello, Sorry I haven't been on here this week. I am busy transforming my bare porch. Here are some before photos and sneak peak of flowers that are in. I will update as I get more items put together. I can't wait to share my daughter's little fairy garden we created. It is so cute! It was inspired by Sue's fairy garden from her post on JunkMarketStyle and book Junk Beautiful Outdoor Edition.
So, enjoy these while I get back to work!




Please excuse the BB Gun! That's boys for you! That is not part of the design!!




Hope you like it so far.
So, until next time...

Places I'd Rather Be Today

On this rainy day I would give anything to be in these places. Come on Spring I need you to be here soon. I can't wait to get into the garden and to plant flowers! I can't wait for summer to be at the beach and watch the waves come in and smell that fresh air and feel the sand under foot.
Anyway, back to reality. I am waiting for the sun to come out so I can take a photo of the front porch. I think I will start there and document its transformation first. So, hopefully that will be coming up shortly.
I think I will use the porch for my official announcement of our new address. I will send it out to all my friends and family. We'll see how it turns out. I have a specific way it will look in my head, but we'll see if that is how it comes out on paper(computer!)
P.S. The garage sales weren't that great today. This is the first time I have been out this season so I hope they get better! :)

So, until next time...

Happy Easter!

Just wishing everyone a very blessed Easter!

Blessings to all!

We just finished moving again. I will try and post some of my new decorating designs for this old farmhouse. It is quite a challenge. It is fun though to get to create some new designs and live with some ReInvented things.

Until next time...

Getting Started

I am still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing so bare with me. I have just looked through a bunch of photos from the Round Top show and I can't wait to go in the Fall with my new found friend Fancy from Cactus Creek Daily.
I attended the Junkbonanza last fall and had a blast with my aunt who ran the antique store. That was kind of my starting point at meeting a lot of the great people I have found through blogs. I can't wait to now meet some of them in person at these upcoming events. Here are some pics of our trip last fall.

This was some really neat wood furniture in the Junk Corral.


Ki was so nice to sign her book for me and my aunt.

It was such a great show. I love blue and white dishes so I found some great ones there. I also like glass door knobs and picked up a few of them. Also found a sugar mold which I have always wanted. I am going to add votives to mine.

So, I can't wait until the next trip. I will be taking a lot more pics this time so I can show everyone the great displays. I love those booths that you could just stay in all day because they are so great. I love seeing things that I can use in my everyday life. So, I hope to find some items and show you how I incorporate them into my home. Garage sales will be starting soon, can't wait. They are such great places to find things on the cheap. I will keep you posted with my finds and show you what I come up with.

Until next time...

Dreams Can Come True

I am starting my first blog tonight. After reading so many great blogs I thought it was maybe my turn to get into the action. I feel like it is really a great opportunity to fulfill my dream of being in interior design by sharing my ideas online. This is such a great way to connect with people who share the same passion I do for ReInventing old things and using them in new ways. So this is my entry into the blog world. I hope you will enjoy.

I hope to post things that inspire me and links to people, places, and things that can help inpsire you also. There are so many awesome people out there that have such great ideas. So, I will leave you with a little of what inpsires me. Can you say serene, beachy, whites, Ralph Lauren, old, chippy, industrial, urban country?

Until next time...
