🌺 Aloha Friday! A little bit of Hawaii to start y 🌺 Aloha Friday! A little bit of Hawaii to start your weekend. 🌴 One thing I’ll always be grateful for about living here is how easy it is to find a beautiful moment in an ordinary day. What are you looking forward to this weekend? ❤️

What I Thrifted vs. How I Styled It: Part 47 This What I Thrifted vs. How I Styled It: Part 47 This was one of our first furniture projects when we lived in North Carolina. We bought this dresser at the flea market there and turned it into a buffet. In this house (& the one in Texas), we use it as a TV stand. It’s also a charging station for the girls’ phones, headphones, watches, etc. 🔌 Solid wood furniture is always a good choice, this thing has held up so well during our moves! #diydressermakeover #whatithrifted #fleamarketfinds #thriftedhomedecor #militaryfamily
Aloha Friday is upon us again 🧡 We have a weekend Aloha Friday is upon us again 🧡 We have a weekend full of projects ahead of us & I’m not mad about it ☺️ But maybe I’ll make the time to sneak off to the beach if the weather cooperates. #alohafriday #sunsetlover #hawaiiansunset #kawelabay
When I saw this BIG, brass, trophy-base lamp at th When I saw this BIG, brass, trophy-base lamp at the thrift store for $14.99 I knew it was coming home with me 🥰 Even with its ugly, 1970s brown lamp shade, I knew I could make it pretty. After a little fabric, glue, and frustration it fits my decor perfectly now ❤️ And the tutorial for covering the lamp shade is up on the blog! #diyhomedecor #diylampshade #thriftedhome #brassdecor #secondhandhomedecor
Did I “finish” the binding on this quilt at two o’ Did I “finish” the binding on this quilt at two o’clock in the morning? Yes. Was I deliriously delusional (a TERRIBLE combination) and think that all the mistakes I made in the binding were “not that bad”? Yes. Did I take a more sober (i.e rested) second look and immediately want to punch myself in the face & light this quilt on fire? Also, yes. If you need me, I’ll be ripping out every damn stitch on that binding and trying again 😭😭😭 #quiltlove #beginnerquilter #whatithrifted #quiltbindingishard
Sunlight hitting the water and refracting into gli Sunlight hitting the water and refracting into glitter sparkles will always make my summer-loving heart sing 🥰💖 #hawaiikinetings #summerforever #oahu #makaha #westsidebestside
What I Thrifted vs How I Styled It: Part 46 For a What I Thrifted vs How I Styled It: Part 46 For a while, I was buying all the matted frames I could find at the thrift store. After a little DIY, they came together to make a beautiful photo wall over our TV 📺 #diyhomedecor #secondhandhome #thriftedfinds #thriftedvsstyled #photowall
It’s true. It’s like she doesn’t even know what sh It’s true. It’s like she doesn’t even know what she’s doing 🤪 But we persevere and end up halfway knowing a new skill…eventually 🙂 #selftaught #sewersgonnasew #beginnerquilter #diyersofinstagram
🌺 Aloha Friday! A little bit of tropical beauty t 🌺 Aloha Friday! A little bit of tropical beauty to head into the weekend. 🌴✨ Fun fact: the Bird of Paradise flower is actually pollinated by birds! When a bird lands on the flower to drink its nectar, the flower’s structure causes pollen to be deposited on the bird’s feet, which can then be carried to the next flower. 🐦🧡 And somehow, seeing one glowing in the evening light makes it even more beautiful 😍 #birdsofparadise #alohafriday #plantlover #hawaiithings #wheelerarmyairfield
