Super Easy DIY Ladder Pot Rack for Under $40

Super Easy DIY Ladder Pot Rack for Under $40

by Dee | Jun 27, 2020 | Decor, DIY Tutorials, Farmhouse Style, French Country, Kitchen

I admit I thought Cindy was a little bit crazy when she suggested suspending a ladder in the kitchen and hanging pots and pans off of it… ladder pot racks just weren’t something I had ever even heard of, let alone seen. But Cindy has a really good track...
All Great Signs Point to ANTIQUES

All Great Signs Point to ANTIQUES

by Cindy | May 31, 2020 | Dining Room, DIY Tutorials, Farmhouse Style, Kitchen, Signs

I love antiques… and signs….and antique signs. I just don’t love paying the prices, so I decided to build a sign myself, an ANTIQUES sign. This sign was so easy to make and very inexpensive and it only took a couple of hours (not counting the drying...
Kitchen Peninsula from Builder-Grade to Custom Made

Kitchen Peninsula from Builder-Grade to Custom Made

by Cindy | Apr 7, 2020 | Dining Room, Farmhouse Style, French Country, Kitchen

One room/space/wall at a time, we’re putting our own stamp on this builder-grade home of ours. A high bar area in the kitchen is not my cup of tea, but it’s a little more than we can take on at this time so I decided to take this kitchen peninsula from...

by Cindy | Feb 18, 2020 | Decor, Dining Room, Farmhouse Style, French Country

I have had this cute sugar mold for over a year and have never really known what I wanted to do with it until now!   It happened accidentally when I dropped a tiny little terra-cotta pot into one of the holes and it fit perfectly!  That gave me an idea to turn my...

Hi! I'm Cindy...

I love thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales and good junk! But I really don’t like spending a lot of money, which you probably figured out by where I like to shop.

While I’m away from home and keeping busy with g While I’m away from home and keeping busy with grandkids I thought I could share a throwback for you! I was perusing my millions of photos in my camera roll and came across this photo that I never shared. WHAT?!? I’m not sure why I didn’t use it before but I figure now is as good a time as any! I also think I need to restyle my vintage Philco entertainment center just like this again! I’m loving the warm cozy vibes! 💙 I might be a little tardy to the party but I’m ready to decorate for Fall, as soon as I get home...I have a few more days here in the mountains to devise a Fall decor plan! 😊 Who am I kidding? I don’t plan ahead! 🤓 Do you plan ahead or fly by the seat of your pants like me? 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . #vintagestyle #myvintagehome #myvintagecottagestyle #vintagetypewriter #philco #mycozyhome #cozycottage #fleamarketstylemagazine #vintagefresh #ourthriftstoredecor #fleamarkethomeandliving #thriftedcozyfarmhouse #fallfarmhousefeels #homeandgardenig #passionforprettydecor #vintagecottagestyle #simplefarmhousetouches #simplecozynest #countrystylehome #falldecorating
When in Rome...do as the Romans do! When on Instag When in Rome...do as the Romans do! When on Instagram...decorate for Fall the first of September! 🤣 Unless you live in Phoenix where even the fake pumpkins rot in the heat! 🥵 This photo is a throwback from last year, because this girl can’t even think about going into the garage to get Fall totes out when we’re still hitting 114° here! 🥵 So please forgive me for not being a good Roman, but know that I love all your Fall decor and will live vicariously through you..from my summer home in the White Mountains of Arizona! 💃 Yep, we’re here for the long weekend and enjoying much cooler temps! (20-30° cooler) 💙 I might even run to the store and buy some mum’s to put on the deck, now how fun would that be for September in Az? 😊👏🏻 . . . #falldecor #mycozyhome #myantiquedhome #mysimplyfreshdecor #mycozyretreat #antiquemirror #antiquemirrors #mydecorsteals #decorstealsaddict #vintageclocks #myneutralhome #pumpkinspiceseason #masterbedroomdecor #charminghome #seasonalhome #farmhousefeels #mytypeoffarmhouse #myneutralhome #homeandgardenig #frenchcountryfarmhouse #cozycottagefarmhouse #whitespaceswelove #cottagesandbungalows #mybhghome #cozywhitecottage #autumnaesthetic #autumnleaves🍂 #betterhomesandgardens #fleamarketdecor #fallvibes🍁 #americanfarmhousestyle
So this happened today! 👏🏻 I painted the ins So this happened today! 👏🏻 I painted the inside of my front door, and I’m in love! 💙 This was the quickest DIY I’ve done in a very long time! A simple project with a huge impact! I absolutely love the Amy Howard at Home line of paints and for this project I used Vintage Affliction. It’s so pretty! If you’d like to try these amazing paints just click the link in my bio! I’m certain you won’t be disappointed! This fun little DIY helped me make a big decision.... this is the color I will be painting the vanities in my master bathroom! Doesn’t that sound like fun? 🙃🤗 . . . #amyhowardathome #amyhowardpaint #painteddoor #mycozyhome #frontdoorsofinstagram #chalkpainted #diyjunkie #diyer #mythriftedhome #mystyleoffarmhouse #mycottagefarmhouse #thursdaycolorpop #homeandgardenig #myhomedecorfinds #antiquephone #mydecorcircle #fleamarketstyle #havaneseofinstagram #havanesemoments #havanesemom #fluffydogsofinstagram #blueandwhiteamour #blueandwhitedecor #blueandwhitehome #cutedogsofig #cottagefarmhouse #housebeautifulhome #passionforprettydecor
Here it is! The battle stations, the workplace, t Here it is! The battle stations, the workplace, the hub of the home, or as we call it, our home office! All decluttered and organized! 👏🏻 Now I know what some of you are thinking...”Ummm, I still see a bunch of clutter.” Well for some that may be correct, but for me, a maximalist at heart, it’s perfect! 💃 Although it could use some more books. 🤣 My plan was to fill the shelves with books because I love that look, but I didn’t have enough so I filled in with decor pieces. This is where Dee spends his days now, which is the one good thing that came out of this pandemic. We love having him here every day! 💙 Greta is his most faithful co-worker, though most of the time she positions herself under his chair just perfectly to get her hair rolled on, EVERY DAY! 🤦🏼‍♀️🐶 ... So I’m curious to know which team you’re on, Team Minimalist or Team Maximalist? . . . #homeofficedecor #homelibrarygoals #homeworkstation #gallerywalldecor #gallerywallinspo #chandelierlighting #officeshelves #ikeabillybookcase #mycozyhome #mycozystyledhome #mycozyfallhome #myneutralhome #havanesedaily #havanesemoments #havanesemom #havanesedog #fluffydogsofinstagram #beautifuldogsofinstagram #dogsindecor #dogsanddecor #shelfstyling #elephantcollection #blueandwhitehome #lovemydog #myvintagecottagestyle #mythriftedhome
It’s always nice to get Monday over with, why is It’s always nice to get Monday over with, why is that? It was a good day and my kitchen is clean so I’ll call that a win! 👏🏻 It was a good weekend, the only thing I got done was purging and cleaning our home office but wow what a feeling! I love cleaning out drawers and file cabinets and getting rid of stuff that we don’t need or use! I’m amazed at how much stuff we’ve accumulated...and not even good stuff! 🙄 To the lucky person that walks into Goodwill to find a million DVD cases: You Are Welcome! 🤦🏼‍♀️ And when was the last time I printed a photo on photo paper at home, yet I had enough to wallpaper with! 😮 Oh shoot!!! Maybe I....NO! Never mind! 🤐 Anyway, even though some of the decluttering was in drawers, I still see it when I walk in there! AND IT FEELS GOOD! 💃 . Here’s a question for you; Have you ever walked in to Goodwill and found the stuff you donated? Did you buy it back? Asking for a friend! . . #whitewashedbrick #kitchenisland #potrack #blueandwhitehome #mycozyhome #fauxbrickwall #homedecorshare #diyprojects #homemadesign #myantiquedhome #declutteryourlife #declutteryourhome #mythriftedhome #dailydecortags #mydecorvibe #thecottagejournal #goodhousekeeping #cozydecor #yourstyledhome #farmhousefeels #mytypeoffarmhouse #myneutralhome #homeandgardenig #frenchcountryfarmhouse #cozycottagefarmhouse #whitespaceswelove #mybhghome #cozywhitecottage
Well folks that’s a wrap! If you followed along Well folks that’s a wrap! If you followed along in stories you already know I’ve been working on this brick wall for the past week. Sheesh! What a big job! But what a great reward!!! I am so happy with how it turned out, super happy! I can’t stop looking at it and I hope you like it too because it may show up here on my feed quite often! ☺️ DIY is not for everyone, and that’s ok! Sometimes I even think it’s not for me, especially after a week of creating a faux brick wall out of joint compound and paint. 🥺 But the one thing I love about DIY is the opportunity to create something with my own hands, watch my ideas come to life, and put my own stamp on my home, one project at a time. I’ve said for a very long time now that this wall needed brick, but I kept putting it off because I knew it would be a big job. IT WAS! But I’m so glad I did it and I’m even more glad that you were there with me the whole time, cheering me on! ❤️ Thank you to each and every one of you for your support, your encouragement, your double taps and your comments! It means the world to me and I’m so thrilled that you’re here! 😘 So tell me...are you a DIY’er or are you on team “What time does the handyman show-up?”😎 (Swipe for pre-brick) . . . #fauxbrickwall #jointcompound #brickwalls #fauxbrick #frenchcountrykitchen #simplecozynest #homeandgardenig #blueandwhitedecor #blueandwhitehome #farmhousecharm #diyhomeimprovement #houseprojects #diyonabudget #homediy #ourforeverhome #heartofthehome #whitewashed #whitewashedbrick #openshelves #openshelving #mycottagefarmhouse #doityourselfer #mycozykitchen
We’re you expecting a photo of a completed brick We’re you expecting a photo of a completed brick archway? I wish it were ready for final photos but I’m gonna need a day or 3. You can see the progress I made today in stories! In the meantime, I’ll just show you this view of the kitchen, without all the ladders and paintbrushes in the picture! I’m really enjoying this project but it’s one that I will be very happy to have complete! If you need me this weekend I’ll be right here giving my kitchen a fabulous brick archway! What are you doing this weekend? Anything fun? I’d love to live vicariously through you! 😊 . . . #potrack #paintedcabinets #whitekitchencabinets #kitchenisland #frenchcountrykitchen #lemonsandlimes #countrykitchen #whitespaceswelove #blueandwhitedecor #blueandwhitehome #hangingpots #woodsandwhites #mycozyhome #collectedhome #decorcircle #farmhousecharm #loveyournest #doityourselfer #diyhomeimprovement #fauxbrickwall #mycozykitchen #homeandgardenig
Blue cabinets in the laundry room...✅ Hardware f Blue cabinets in the laundry room...✅ Hardware for said cabinets...✅ Anything else done in the laundry room? Nope! Because all I’ve done the last few days is work on brick! It may be a few more days because my back didn’t take too kindly to something today. Not sure what happened. 🤷🏼‍♀️ As soon as the brick is finished I have lots of plans for this laundry room, let’s hope my back can get on board. Today I’m thinking I don’t want to do DIY anymore, but I might start doing DIFM! (“Do It For Me”) That has a nice ring to it! 🤣 Are you a DIY’er or do you call in the pro’s? If so, can I get their number? . . . #checkoutmydiy #diyjunkie #diyfurniture #chalkpaintedfurniture #chalkpaintlove #whitespaceswelove #farmhouselife #mycozyhome #doityourselfer #diydecoranddesign #diyhomeimprovement #diyers #diyprojectjunkie #amyhowardathome #chippydoor #laundryroommakeover #blueandwhitehome #collectedhome #decorcircle #farmhousecharm #blueandwhitedecor #loveyournest #vintagedoor
