Last year when I was vase-shopping for this project, not only did I find a perfect vase, but an interesting basket, as well. It wasn’t flat on the bottom but had an intriguing appearance with wonderful texture. As I held it in my hand and flipped it over, I realized it could become a boho pumpkin when turned upside-down.Read more ›

I was recently invited to participate in a fun blogging group called “Thrifting with the Gals”. I’ll tell you more about them in a moment, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of my upcycled and vintage Halloween decorations.Read more ›

Whenever I see woven mats or straw trivets at thrift stores, I can’t help but grab them. And while I’ve upcycled trivets before into my boho basket wall décor, I’ve been secretly stashing away a few in fall colors. Because I wondered if I could turn them into pumpkin decor for Fall.Read more ›

My husband doesn’t always drink whiskey, but when he does, he often looks for one in a pretty bottle that I might like. This one (and the label) caught his eye, and when he finished it, I set the bottle aside to transform it into a mid-century modern vase.Read more ›

Finding these woven mats at Habitat was both exciting (ooh, fun new thrifted stuff to upcycle!) and confusing (too small to be placemats- what were these for?).
