Hello & HAPPY FALL Everyone !!!

A Spring Porch and a Blog Hop

Hi there peeps, this week I am joining 25 blogging friends for a "Spring Blog Hop"! 

The BLOG HOP goes on all week and each day has a different theme. We've got 

Spring Vignettes, Tablescapes, Recipes, Front Porches & Mantles for you.  

Links to everyone's blogs appear at the end of this post.

Today's theme is "Front Porches". The person before me in the "Blog Hop" is Stacey from 

Poofing The Pillows, so if you hopped on over from her amazing porch "Welcome". 

and VOILA....here is our porch!  

Need Easter Decor Inspiration?

Hello Loves, it's been a busy month for our family and I have to admit 
I have not done any decorating for this Spring and Easter Season yet. 
I am planning on getting started this coming weekend, which is why I 
was going through all of my previous Easter posts from by blog.  

2016 in Review

Hello and Happy New Year and all the best to all of you!!! Another year has gone by 

so fast and here we are in 2017.

We still have family over from Germany, so it's been a little slow on my blog 

and I am wayyyyy behind on catching up on reading everybody else's  blogs.

I typed up this quick post last night with a look back of my top posts from 2016. This might
give you a chance to catch up on some posts you might have missed during the year.

Nature Inspired Outdoor Christmas Decorations from Little Brags

Hello guys, it's been a bit quiet on the blog and I have not been able to reply to 

comments as well and fast as I normally like to. 

I have been busy doing a Live Christmas Tour for Hometalk this Tuesday. 

You can watch it here if you would like to. Meanwhile I also took a bunch of pics 

of our house decorated for Christmas and Winter. Since there are a lot of pics, 

I will post them in stages. Today I am sharing my outdoor Christmas/Winter 

pics with you and hope that you will find some inspiration here.

Ok peeps, lets get going....

Here is a little corner of the back patio, I decorated the spool table 

with mostly nature such as fresh moss, greens, branches and heather 

plants....Can you tell I am into the Scandinavian look!

Halloween Porch 2016

Hello Lovies, this will be  a very quick post, trying to get out of the house and get this post up! 

Without further chatter, here is our Halloweenie Front Porch (very late, as always)....

Enjoy the pics!!! MUAHHH

DIY Personalized Birthday Gift Idea

Hello Loves, have you all made it into October alright? Well, I am already down 
with my first cold of the new season !!! FIGURES!!!

I wanted to share a quick little project I made last weekend. I was invited to a 
60th Birthday Party and I wanted to bring a "little something special and 
personal" to the birthday girl. Earlier that morning I went to a local bazaar and 
purchased another galvanized bucket (which one can never have enough of...lol). 
Once I got home I stenciled her birth year onto the bucket.

Hanging An Old Window From The Fence

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a fun and relaxing Labor Day today! 

I want to share a little something with you I did this weekend.

Earlier this summer I found an old window at one of my favorite little country stores, 

it's been sitting on the deck for several weeks but I finally figured out where to put it up.

A Few New Things Around The House

Hello friends, it's been a bit quiet around the blog this summer. We took a family trip in July and I hardly spend any time on the computer. Things are back to normal, but it seems to me that I will be playing "bloggy reading catch up" for a long time. 

I wanted to share some new things around the house with you. For those of you that follow my blog, you know I have been painting our kitchen and family room this summer. With the new paint color came some re-decorating and I also picked up a few new things. My taste has changed so much this year and I need to take it slow and give a lot of thought to what I want to invest time and money for. 

Well, let's get to the fun part Amiga's (and Amigo's), here are some pictures for you!!!! Here is a wall in our kitchen nook. My friend Michi got me this cute window frame a while back, I wrapped some stringlights around it, I love the combination of the rich gray wall color and the pop of white from the lights.

Project Challenge: CHALK PAINT

Hello guys, are you ready for another DIY blogger challenge?

I sure hope so, cuz this month's challenge is "CHALK PAINT" 

and I luv me some chalk paint!!!! Do you have an item 

at home that you don't like anymore? Well, before you get rid of it

try painting it with chalk paint, you might be surprised at the outcome. 

I had a laundry detergent container sitting in the closet for years, 
but didn't want to throw it out, because I remembered it was 
expansive at the time.

Our Real Easter Bunny, An Impostor And Just Plain Cuteness

Hello and Happy Easter Loves, I am in a big rush today, getting the house ready and cooking for Easter Sunday tomorrow. I did take some adorable pictures of our 4 legged cuties this morning and managed to edit them in a hurry....

Gotta make it quick, cuz I don't want anybody to starve tomorrow....

So without further chatting, here is the most adorable bunny in town.....

Bugsy is the name!

I recently gave this little red radio flyer wagon a quick coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, perfect photo prop for my cuties.

Our Easter Entry 2016

Hi there friends, today I want to share our Easter Entry with you. Been running around 
crazy all day, trying to get a million things done. Well, I managed to take a few very 
quick pictures of our entry, so I can share them before Easter is over!!!! 

Our Easter Porch 2016

Hello and Happy Spring everyone!!!!! 
I finally took some pics of our Easter Porch today.

and let the pictures speak for themselves.

Wintery Decor On The Back Patio

Hello and Happy New Year peeps!!! Today I am sharing a little corner in our backyard 

with you, all decked out in winter décor. This year we got our Christmas tree kind

of late (8 days before Christmas), so when it was time to get rid of the tree, it still

looked so beautiful and  fresh. So when we took it down, we cut off all the branches

and saved them for some winter décor outside.

  I filled our little fire pit and the wooden crate on the spool table

with tons of branches.

Tons Of Outdoor Decorating Inspiration From Little Brags

Hello and Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!!!! I am sick this week with a nasty cold and actually stayed home from work on Friday. So I have no energy to tackle anything new this weekend. But since this time of year we all seem to have the urge to get outside and spruce up our outdoor spaces, I decided I want to put together a post with all past outdoor inspirations from my blog. Al l images are mine, no Pinterest Inspirations from other blogs.

Pictures are not in any kind of order, anything from front porch to back porch and garden, as long as it's outdoors....

A Lantern Make Over And Our Back Porch

Hello and Happy Weekend Everyone. I've been feeling the spring fever lately! Last Sunday I pressure-washed our back yard patios, and now I am working on making it cozy back there. The first step is done....I had these 2 huge brown Lanterns that I grew tired of, so I spray painted them a light grey. After they dried, I rubbed some white acrylic paint on them to give them a  bit of a white wash look.

Galvanized Metal Ideas -- curated for Hometalk

As most of you know, I love to decorate with galvanized junk things. Apparently so much, that Hometalk  ask me to put together some pictures of galvanized projects from their site. So here you go....
I hope you find some inspirations here today!

It's official, I'm a bucket case!

Happy Weekend Everyone!!! I want to share a couple of new creations with you all

 

Guest Bedroom and Rusty Buckets

Hello Everyone, I've had a pretty busy weekend and really no time to post about anything worth BRAGGING about...lol...so I thought I'd just share some inspirations of how I decorate with old buckets around my house and a cool organizing idea for the Guest/Kids Bathroom. 

So here we go, first off an old flower bucket used as a trashcan. I just wrapped some burlap ribbon around it and it totally dressed it up.
