I came across these tablecloths this summer on Target clearance. My store only had 1, so I came home and looked online, and there they were! Hooray!

I’m trying to let me daughter guide this bedroom design and she loved them, they were canvas-y and pretty substantial so we were set! Or, so I thought. I completely forgot that the basement ceiling is high and that  84” curtains were not going to look great in there.

Hello and happy February! (Rabbit!) I figured I better share the rest of my winter décor with you before we break into spring~we’ll see what Mr. Groundhog has to say tomorrow. School is cancelled here AGAIN for a skiff of snow…this Montana girl just doesn’t get it.  Anyway, winter décor can be tough sometimes for me. I don’t want to spend a lot, but still want to enjoy the coziness and beauty of the season before it turns to slushy gray. This isn’t the skiff of snow, this is a few weeks ago:

Don’t you want to eat it? Doesn’t it look like it’s made of peep marshmallow hearts? :) Well, we think it does, that’s why it needs to be kept up high in this house.

An old sweater:

An old pillow that I cut up just for the stuffing:

Happy Friday! Here is a super fun contest as we head into the weekend. I can’t stop laughing at the pictures. I especially wish you could see the full cat in the Letter E picture!! :) A huge thank you to Brittany at Pretty Handy Girl for organizing this craziness. Good luck!!

Let's take a ride in that DeLorean parked outside and go back in time. Back to a time before there was Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. Before chevrons, mercury glass and ombré were hot. And most importantly, before there were blogs! We're going back to when these DIY gals were worrying about how high they could get their hair, was there food in their braces and oh no...not another zit! Talking on the phone for hours meant stretching that long spiral cord beyond its limits and tying up the only phone in the house. Common purchases for these DIY gals may have been the latest cassette tape, neon bracelets, a swatch watch and a tube of clearasil. You wouldn't catch them dead in the hardware store, totally unheard of to the max! Are you there yet? Do you see leg warmers or jelly sandals? You're getting closer...the time machine has stopped so step out of your DeLorean and behold...the time before blogs:   Do you recognize any of these popular DIY bloggers? I don't know how "popular" they were back then. Do you think you could recognize them in High School, Middle School or Elementary School? For sure!
