Spring Break Coast Trip

Hey Friends!

Well it's officially SPRING and I'm guessing if you have kids (or grand kids!) they were off either last week or this week :-)


We had a blast last week going to the coast for a little GETAWAY.  I think my favorite part about getaways are the fact that you don't have ANY routine, your entire "schedule" gets to fly out the window - makes me happy - hee,hee.

We went to the coast.



For those that have followed my blog for a while now, know that I have tons of memories growing up near the ocean so that salty sea smell full of sea creatures makes me feel right at home :-)  As a kid (okay, as an adult too LOL) I LOVED turning over rocks and catching the baby crabs!

At my Grandparents home!


We got back in time for Easter :-)  My kids would have been devastated to have been away for grandmas HUGE Easter egg hunt with all their cousins.



 I'll leave you guys with a little beach house EYE CANDY :-)  

I think it this was my home, I might not need to go on Spring Break - hee,hee,  I just love the red adirondack chairs around the cozy fireplace  - oh, and the view of the water :-)

Maybe some day (without the kids :-) we will go somewhere like this for a little getaway!

Do  you guys have any Spring Break plans?  I hope you have (or had) a wonderful time just getting away from the normal ol' routine :-)

Have a wonderful week!

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
