How to Create Fall Floral Arrangements
September 26, 2025
Adding a warm and cozy fall vibe to your decor doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Using things you probably already have in your stash, you can create a warm look to last throughout the fall season.
Whether it's a wreath made with fresh or faux fall florals, a basket filled with fall florals, or maybe even a chinoiserie ginger jar filled with rustic autumnal florals, it all speaks volumes as to your own personal decorating style, as well as how you embrace the season.

Thrifted vs. Styled #153: Blue and White Series No. 5
September 21, 2025
Blue and white porcelain comes in all shapes and sizes. As a collector of blue and white porcelain I can attest to that, and I love to share where I find my treasures, what I paid for them and how I use each piece as decor in my home.
The collection, however, has become so large that for purposes of this post I'm sharing the pieces, but not necessarily how I'm using them in my decor -- there's just too many!

Sometimes You Just Gotta Buy the Thing (Autumn Art with Added Ghosts)
August 29, 2025
Even if you're a DIY and thrifting nut like me, sometimes you just gotta buy the thing. While I'm a self-professed penny-pincher, even I have to admit that sometimes it's just plain easier (and perhaps equally frugal) to buy that coveted home decor item rather than making it yourself.
With fall on the horizon, that coveted home decor item, for me, is an autumnal painting with ghosts added in for a spooky Halloween effect. Could I make one myself? Probably. Can I also buy a reasonably priced one? Defintitely. And that's exactly what I did -- with no shame whatsoever -- despite my frugal DIY DNA.
