Cozy Decor

Its getting cold... we've had some really cold days and I really don't like the cold. 

Even though we have a really great furnace... I still freeze... even when its 75 in the house. So I found some really cute buffalo plaid blankets to wrap up in... and I just had to get the pillow cases to go with them ;)

They are super soft and wash really well. The sad part is... I don't always get the chance to use them because our girls are always wrapped up in them... they even have their own but they always take mine. 

Silly kids!

Wishing Well & Wheelbarrow Craft

Okay so maybe I am borderline obsessed with wood projects... 

I just really like to build things...

doesn't everyone? ;)

Building a little wishing well and wheelbarrow for my living room decor has been on my list for a while... probably a year or so... 

...and I finally got them done!

These were fun easy projects that didn't take long once I got started. They aren't very big... the whishing well is about 6 inches tall, and the wheelbarrow is about 6 inches long. So not very big but the perfect size for my crate shelves.

The wishing well is cut out of 1/2inch square dowls... with the supports being popsicle sticks. The little tin roof is one of my favorite parts of the wishing well (I bought it at Dollar Tree in the craft section and cut it down to fit) 

Ladder Shelf & Wall Shelf

 
I have a thing for wood and building things... 

I wouldn't call it an obsession...

I just really enjoy it.

I saw a cute shelf the other day as I was scrolling through Amazon looking for something we needed... wink, wink, ... I decided that shelf would look so cute on our bookcase in the living room. So instead of clicking to buy it... which is what most people would do... I've been guilty of that plenty of times... (ask my husband)... I hopped on lowes.com to see how much it would be to build my own. Now this option isn't always the cheapest because the cost of wood is so darn much, but its what I love to do... so I did. 

The nice thing about making your own wood projects is that you usually have left over pieces of wood so then you can just make more projects :) 

So very Thankful...

I found the cutest sign for Thanksgiving at Hobby Lobby and I just had to share.                                                                                                                                                         After all these years of decorating, my tastes are constantly changing.                                                                                                                                                                     Lately, I'm learning that less is more... so choosing a couple pieces that really mean something to me keep our house looking clean, open and less cluttered.                                                                                                                         I fell in love with this sign as soon as I saw it, while on a {Girls Weekend} with my Mom and Sisters. 

I just love how its rustic, yet elegant, and simple. 

I'm so {Thankful} for this season and the opportunity to think of the many blessings I've been given. 

I have so much to be thankful for!!!!!
