Hey there, Besties! 🌟✨

Today, I'm bubbling with excitement to share a little secret of mine that adds a magical touch to our home – upcycling vintage picture frames! You know how I adore bringing new life to old treasures, right? Well, this time, it's all about those glorious, grand picture frames! 🖼️🎨

Vintage Frames: A Love Affair with the Past

There's something about vintage-looking picture frames that just captures my heart. Maybe it's their story, intricate designs, or just the charm they carry from a time ago. They're like little time capsules, adding depth and character to any space. 🕰️❤️

The Thrill of the Thrift: Finding the Perfect Frames

Imagine stumbling upon huge, majestic picture frames at a local thrift store. That's exactly what happened to me! It was love at first sight. But, oh, they needed some love and care. They were like hidden gems waiting to sparkle again. I knew I had to give them a new lease on life. ✨

The Transformation: Painting Magic

Here's where the fun began. I rolled up my sleeves and got my paintbrushes out. Choosing the perfect colors to complement their vintage charm was like picking out a gown for a ball – exciting yet crucial! Painting these frames wasn't just about changing their look; it was about enhancing their stories, making them a fitting part of our home's narrative. 🎨🏡

The Impact of 'Big' in Decor

Let's talk about size – because, in the world of picture frames, size does matter! I love huge frames. They're not just photo holders but statement pieces and conversation starters. When upcycled and hung on the walls, these large frames create focal points, adding a sense of drama and elegance to our cozy home. 🌟🖼️

The Joy of Upcycling

This project was more than just a decor update; it was a testament to the joy of upcycling. Giving a new life to something old is not just creative but also a sustainable choice. Every brush stroke felt like a small step towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle. 🌍♻️

Besties, the beauty of upcycling vintage picture frames lies in their ability to transform a space with history, charm, and a touch of your own personality. Whether you're a seasoned thrifter or just starting out, I encourage you to try this. Dive into the world of vintage frames and let your creativity flow!

Remember, each frame is a story waiting to be retold. Happy upcycling! 🖼️✨

I'm slowly getting into organizing mode with my house. I've collected so many great things from thrift stores over the years & I never really displayed anything. But, honestly, home decorating intimidates me to no end. But, in the spirit of doing whatever I want, I'm giving it a go!

Here's my little front entryway styled to the max. I thought I always wanted less stuff, but I just wanted fewer things on the ground. I couldn't care less about the walls! Luckily, I have so many wall things to hang up! Maybe my style would be called "organized clutter"?! Is that a thing?

My goal right now is to get everything up from the basement & onto the walls. From there, I can rearrange.

I'm also going to get rid of many things that I can no longer use or like. I have a lot going on this summer & I want to make it easier to keep my house clean. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in stuff & it's difficult to clean. So I'm now on a mission to either display or get rid of things.

Check out my super simple last minute fall front porch using yard sale finds!

Happy Halloween!

I know I’m super late with the whole ‘fall porch’ trend, but better late than never, right?!

Honestly, I didn’t even know that I was going to do a fall porch until yesterday anyway!

The thing about our porch is that it isn’t a true front porch.  Our steps don’t run straight down like a normal porch.  Actually, lets back up a little bit…before we bought our house, our front porch didn’t even have a set of steps.  It was just doors that led to a porch.  No steps at all.  The entrance to the house was the side door with a tiny porch.  One of the first things we did when we purchased our house was to add steps to the front.  The easiest way to accomplish this was to just take off the railing & add steps to the side.

So…I’m going to tell you a thrifting secret.  It’s a big one!

The best things to thrift are hands down….
