Easter Tablescape

This was originally posted in 2012. At the time we had a super long dining table with lots of space to create a spacious Easter tablescape. When decorating the spring and Easter tablescape, I love to mix rustic and refined pieces together. Here are the details for this year… Gathered Elements I gathered together elements that were repeating. Glass, (3 glass elements: the pair of bottle…

Spring Easter Tablescape

This was the Spring Easter Tablescape I created at our house three houses ago! Nearly all the elements for it were either found items or DIY projects. Here are those projects I did and wrote about: DIY Easter Pots, Jute Wrapped Eggs and the Rustic Wood Planter, with Growing Grass Indoors. Now, this post shows how I put it all together to create a textural spring Easter tablescape. Here are the…

DIY Easter Pots

I made these DIY Easter Pots posted many years ago, they still look great after all these years! This DIY Easter pots project is one of my favorite crafts I’ve ever done.

Vines Around Front Door

Trying to create a unique entry for our townhouse from the small sea of identical townhouses is challenging given the HOA rules. Adding vines around the front door is definitely helping. Bonus, changing it out seasonally will be easy because first I installed a DIY framework made with plumbing supplies! Here’s what I did… DIY Pipe Frame First thing I made was a lightweight frame of sorts with…

Bookends

I guess I kind of collect bookends in a non-formal way. They always have a use in our house. Here are a few and how I'm using them.

Do you have something that you don’t really collect, but if you see them for sale you’ll probably buy them? Bookends are that way for me. I don’t run across bookends all that often, so when I do, I grab them. I can always find a use for them, and not just for books. Though, I’m definitely not a bookend specialist or even collector, I do collect them I guess, sort of, in a non-formal way of…

Little Brick Cottage Revisited

When I first started this blog, (over 13 years ago!) we had just purchased a small fixer upper house that I planned to renovate and use as a rental property. The little house was a red brick house and charming as could be, so I started to call it ‘the little brick cottage’. The name stuck. That renovation process is what started the Little Brick Cottage Series here on the blog. Where it All…
