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.

My mirror wall was without a doubt one of the favo My mirror wall was without a doubt one of the favorites here on the gram! I loved this wall so much! ❤️ I am obsessed with mirrors and I’m not afraid to admit it! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3 of these mirrors made it to the ranch, the others have a home with some insta-friends and I can’t wait to see how they use them! I will have a mirror wall here…it will be small…but mighty! 💪🏻 Do you have a particular decor obsession? Or several? It’s ok, admitting it is the first step! 🤣 .. #myvintagetoucheshome #vintagehappyhome #showusthevintage #myromanticvintagestyle #myantiquedhome #antiquemirror #vintagemirror #myvintageviews #vintagefresh #cozyvintagelife #comfycottagecharm #blameitonmyvintageheart #thriftydecorinspo #inspiringhomesquares #mydecorlove #cozyhomediary #colorfulvintagegals #bigdecorinspo #vintagehome #inspire_me_home_decor #homedecorideas #cottagelife #havanesemom #havanesemoments #havanesedaily #beautifuldogs #cutedogsofig #dogsindecor #decorlovingpets #dogsinmyhouseandhome
This is one of my favorite projects that I did in This is one of my favorite projects that I did in this house! It’s hard to find a house in the Phoenix area that has built in charm and character. So I added it myself. So glad I’ve already added brick at the ranch because it’s my favorite kind of character. This whitewashed brick was done with painters tape and joint compound, and ibuprofen, always ibuprofen! 👵🏻 Hope your Saturday has been good, can’t chat long, I gotta make another Goodwill run! ⏳ .. #downsizing #movingout #livingsmall #checkoutmydiy #diyjunkie #fauxbrickwall #brickwalls #bluekitchen #whitewashed #whitewashedbrick #whitespaceswelove #whitepaint #mycozyhome #doityourselfer #buckeyeaz #diydecoranddesign #diyhomeimprovement #diyers #purdypaintbrush #diyprojectjunkie

Downsizing is NOT for sissies! I’m not talking Downsizing is NOT for sissies! I’m not talking from 4 bedrooms to 3, or a 3 car garage to a 2! 🏠 For us, downsizing means from a 2600 sq ft house to an 800 sq ft house! 🏡 We can’t take it all with us, and have to let a lot of things go! 😢 When the TIME came to let go of this clock…I was a BIG SISSY! Of all the things that I watched walk out of my house, headed for their new homes, seeing this clock go really hurt my heart! 💔 I can’t explain it, no good reason really, other than I loved it and I had to let it go! 💔 Maybe there’s a lesson in there somewhere, not sure, but I’m going with…”Time passes quickly, and it’s now Time to open a new chapter, make new memories and enjoy Time with the burden of debt lifted!” Perhaps one day I’ll have a beautiful grandfather clock again that reminds me every 15 minutes just how quickly time passes! 🕰 Downsizing is hard, even painful, but being debt-free is at the other end of it, and that makes this difficult process bearable! I appreciate all of the encouraging messages of support and love, it helps more than you know! ❤️ I hope you will all hang in there as we figure out how to live large in a small space! (with only one bathroom!) 😬 . . #rusticfarmhouse #antiquedecor #americanfarmhousestyle #interiors4all #vintagehomedecor #cottagedecor #homedecorinspo #myvintagehome #grandfatherclock #clockloversofinstagram #timetoletgo #myvintagetoucheshome #myromanticvintagestyle #myantiquedhome #comfycottagecharm #thriftydecorinspo #inspiringhomesquares #mydecorlove #cozyhomediary #bigdecorinspo #plantstand #fiddlefig #movingout #smallspaces #downsizing #downsizingandminimizing
Since I’m stripping the bed today it seemed like Since I’m stripping the bed today it seemed like a great time to show you my Intelli-Pedic Mattress Pad from @downlitebedding! It’s super comfy, cushy, quilty and does not slip at all! Jimmy approves and so do we! You can get one for yourself at a 20% discount with the code DYGEN20. I showed it in stories today and also gave a “behind-the-scenes” look at how my photo shoots typically go! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Head up to my stories for a link to the mattress pad, to see what my room looks like in real life, and to find out about my new fabulous Fall colored duvet cover! This girl might be adding some color, and I’m loving it!!!

My sister Nancy! Always the life of the party! (m My sister Nancy! Always the life of the party! (my sweet mom in the background who passed in January) Nancy is in the hospital with Covid, on a vent! She’s not doing well! … I know I’ve been very absent here and I appreciate all who have asked if I’m ok! I am ok. But I just haven’t felt like anything else is important 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ll be back eventually! But for now, if you believe in prayer, and could send one for my sister Nancy, it would be so appreciated! Thank you! ❤️ .. #covidisreal #covidsucks #prayersforhealing #prayerwarriors
