    5 Easy Steps To Becoming A DIY Expert

    There really is nothing quite like being able to solve a problem in your home all by yourself. It can save so much money and also allows you to achieve the home of your dreams. Whether it’s from home renovations shows like Fixer Upper on HGTV,  Hometalk and DIY video tutorials that seem to show up on your Facebook feed all the time, or simply watching friends and family do it, the idea of being able to fix up your home by yourself is something that’s incredibly attractive for a lot of people.

With that in mind, I decided to share Five Easy Steps To Becoming A DIY Expert. Here are some things that you need to do in order to turn yourself into the DIY pro that you’ve always dreamed of being. *This post contains affiliate links.

    In With The New, Out With The Old: Clear The Clutter By Donating And Selling Old Items

    It’s a brand new year with hopes of grand junkin’ adventures ahead! As all my vintage loving friends would say, “In with the old, out with the new!” So why is this post titled “In With The New Out With The Old? Vintage junkaholics will most often choose vintage items over new any day, but sometimes we just need to clear the clutter! The new year is a great time to give our homes a good deep cleaning, reorganization, and restyling, which may even mean adding some new decor or accessories to freshen things up. A lot of times people ask me how my home is so organized when it is obvious I am a huge collector and vintage hoarder of junk. The answer lies in purging through donating and selling online in my Esty shop on a regular basis. Of course there are other selling sites which I will discuss below. *This post contains affiliate links and/or sponsored content.

    Charming Vintage Recipe Cards

    Collecting and decorating with vintage recipe cards

    We finally got our first real snow day here!  I really loved sitting in the breakfast nook “taking tea” and enjoying the snowy pines out the window. It was the perfect day to stay inside and finish up packing away all the Christmas decorations and to do some winter styling in the kitchen.

    One of my favorite yard sale finds is a collection of charming vintage recipe cards. Over the years I have used them time and time again in seasonal vignettes. As I was styling this winter  vignette on top of my old retro cabinet filled with Rae Dunn Pottery, I got the idea to do a little post all about my vintage recipe cards. *This post contains affiliate links.
