No Buy January

So for the New Year I wanted to buy a few new items for the House but with the purchase of a horse comes extra expenses. I was up last night while not being able to sleep and thinking....

Today while it rains outside I'm walking around and trying to decorate with some of my forgotten items that I've had in my closet just sitting on the shelf. 

Good-Bye Santa, It was a great Christmas!

Hello forgotten Americana Star

This is missing something....I Love candles but they can get pricey

I found a small black wrought iron candle holder and adding a Vanilla candle...Much better

This blank wall now has this wall-hanging that my Mom stitched for me one year, Thanks Mom!

This wall is a hot mess, I'm spending the day working on this

So nothing spent out of pocket and I'm starting to feel better already with just some easy changes.

Boy, I have my work cut out for me with these darn bookshelves.

Any ideas??

Savvy Southern Style

Family Rules

Working on this corner of our kitchen today. We found this pic at Wal-Mart on Clearance, I have wanted one like this for some time now. The Bonsai tree I have had for about 2 years so far and I haven't killed her yet. Are Bonsai trees a he or a she? I'm not sure which mine is but it Loves this corner so I'm not about to move her... Guess its a Her!!

Spice Tower Clean-Up and Decorating for Spring

 

This is a cute french country spice tower the my MIL found somewhere and has been sitting down in my basement for about 2 years now, I can't remember why it was sitting down there or what I had planned for it but today was the day for the clean-up! See the dust and very OLD STALE spices? YUCK!!! After soaking for awhile and washing and peeling the old labels off  It now sits on my counter looking so much better! I'm not sure if we will keep this cutie or I'll sell it, It's missing one bottle.

I'm so tired of snow and cold temps and today is the 7th day the kids are home, the girls went to school Monday the 8th then the snow moved in and we are under a level 2 snow emergency and it's deep outside!  I spent the morning setting up this cute vignette on my buffett. It reminds me that even if it's cold and we are stuck at home Sunny/Warmer days are on the way!
