Spring is here, which means the vintage markets have begun! It’s a great time to soak up some awesome junk, displayed oh-so-beautifully with spring flowers. Grab a friend and enjoy the best the vintage, repurposed industry has to offer. Here are my highlights from Junk Bonanza, Spring 2019 Minneapolis MN.
May Day is quickly approaching! “May Day”, you ask? “What’s that?” May Day is an old tradition that occurs on the 1st day of May. To celebrate the beginning of spring, baskets of flowers and treats are anonymously hung on the doors of friends or neighbors.

That’s what happened a few weeks back, which resulted in a fun change to the living room. This ceiling fan/light had lost my affection quite a while back. It was from the previous owner, who had had it in…

Large walls can be an overwhelming space to decorate! You don’t want to put too many holes in the wall, but you’re afraid if you make a grouping of items, you might get sick of it. I like my decor to reflect the seasons and want the freedom to switch things up without making a lot of holes in my…

Isn’t it fun to celebrate spring with a new wreath for your home? I was perusing the latest Country Living magazine, when I came across this array of spring wreaths. I’ve got a new spot to hang a seasonal wreath and was trying to figure out what would be pretty. I loved all the variety shown in this layout, but…
