match jar

I love the homey feeling of lit candles. I have them all over my house. What I don’t love is having to track down a box of matches every time I want to light a candle. I hide the box because, well… it doesn’t go with my decor. I thought this would be a practical and cute way to keep my matches in sight and at hand.

I found this jar at The Strawberry Patch last night. It’s a really cool antique and handmade barn sale that is going through tonight. Check it out if your looking for something to do! If you don’t have the time I highly recommend going in the fall when they have their next sale.

vintage spoons chandelier!

I have seen jewelry made out of old spoons… watches, rings, bracelets, even necklace pendants, but this chandelier tops the charts of awesome ways to up cycle  grandma’s old silver set.  I have found myself digging through boxes of old silverware in the markets lately. I don’t exactly know what I’m looking for. I just like the look, I guess. Something engages me about the intricately decorated handles… tarnished, loved. I like to imagine the dinner parties and family gatherings they would have been a part of over so many years. I’m a dreamer. So of course while I was shooting this home in Nashville I had to stop and admire the beautiful display of vintage spoons… and super cute retro breakfast table. [sigh] I love my job.

Soap!

I love soap! I love all the colors and smells and textures. I’ve dabbled in making homemade soap but haven’t succeeded at anything this splendid. The hubs and I [and our camera] spent a fair amount of time playing in the Basin White store in the Grand Floridian Resort the other night. I can’t help but let the crisp white walls lined with colorful scrubs and lotions suck me in every time.

 xoxo from the sunshine state!

darling bedside table.

Spring cleaning has hit early this year. In an attempt to be more organized, I finally bought a filing cabinet. Which means the old luggage rack I was using to hold my printer and books has been tossed out of my office. It was a shame to throw it away so I rummaged through a ton of my random decor and photo props until I was inspired by this suitcase. I think it looks lovely sitting atop my old luggage rack. Don’t you think? I had a piece of glass that I salvaged from an old frame to lay on top of the suitcase. That way when my candles melt because the sun is so hot pouring in that window, it won’t ruin my $5.00 goodwill suitcase. Daniel wanted me to find a bedside table… I didn’t even have to leave the house. How’s that for thrifty.
