Home Improvements: Financing Your Home Renovation Plans
One of the largest investments you will make in your life is owning your home, and of course you want to make it your very own! With the popularity of home improvement shows like Fixer Upper on HGTV, there is a continual growing interest from Americans looking to renovate or remodel their homes. A strong housing market has spurred families to get on the home improvement train, as we all attempt to make our homes look the best they can.
Welcome back to my Let’s Go Junkin’ Series! It’s summer and that means it’s a great time for hitting up all those yard sales, flea markets, antiques shops and estate sales. Most junkers and collectors are pros at going treasure hunting and thrifting, but a lot of us often forget about (or ignore altogether) the online auction market. Many collectors just aren’t familiar with any online auctions other than Ebay, or perhaps they may be a bit intimidated by other online auctions which feature high end and expensive antiques and collectibles meant for “serious collectors.” Nevertheless, there are some really great auction sites online that offer affordable and unique vintage items and antiques. Today we are going junkin’ around the world from the comfort of home by exploring the online auction market.
Hello and welcome back to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so happy to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and a wonderful group of bloggers as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too! If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and be inspired each week, this is the place to be. *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave me a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! To start off the party, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:
This past Friday my husband and I celebrated our 17th anniversary! He surprised me with these gorgeous coral roses, and we spent the morning doing a little junkin’. I found a beautiful shabby urn which I have used as a vase for my roses. Last week I also found an amazing, antique ironstone blue transferware platter, just in time for summer vignettes.
Hello dear readers! Today I am so excited to share how I have been refreshing the living room for summer and some changes that absolutely made me fall in love with it for the first time since moving to our home four years ago! The amazing transformation began with the simple addition of a stunning 8′ x 10′ natural jute rug from Soft Surroundings. It’s amazing how the right rug can pull a room together like magic! I truly believe this is the perfect jute rug, and as you read on you will see why. *This post contains affiliate links and is sponsored by Soft Surroundings. All opinions are my own.
