Vintage Coal Bucket Tabletop Decor

March 8, 2017

You guys! Did you know that ferns have magical powers? I didn’t really believe it either until I brought this one home along with a fun new treasure.

I spotted this vintage coal bucket recently in one of my favorite second hand stores and then couldn’t believe it when, in the same store, I turned the corner and discovered to my delight a booth filled with plants.

It was a dark and dreary February day outside but inside, with that booth overflowing with fresh, green life it felt like a ray of hope.

Five Cute Christmas Ideas

November 16, 2016

5 Cute Christmas Ideas from redheadcandecorate.com

Good morning, friends! It’s me, Julie from redheadcandecorate.com, stopping over today to share 5 cute Christmas ideas for decorating your home this holiday season. I really enjoy decorating for Christmas the most out of all of the holidays, and sometimes I try to think “outside the box” when doing so. It’s funny, because in a lot of ways I am very traditional in my decorating style, but then I love to throw in an element of surprise to kind of catch folks off guard. I like to have fun with it, and between you and I, sometimes my kids have to settle me down when decorating and tell me it’s time for bed!

I truly hope my ideas inspire you to try something you’ve never tried before…or maybe just sit back and drink hot cocoa while I do all of the decorating. Doesn’t that sound good about now?

A Few of My Favorite Things

August 30, 2016

Hello At the Picket Fence friends, it’s me, Julie from redheadcandecorate.com. I wasn’t able to stop by last month due to a busy time at our house. Summer is supposed to be a relaxing time, but somehow it turns into a busy time for a lot of us. We went on a few impromptu mini-camping trips and the packing and unpacking had my head spinning. I’m finally beginning to settle down, and we are preparing for our teen girls to head back to high school. Maybe next year I will consider a “stay-cation”!

So, this month when I sat down to think about what I would like to share with you, my mind went back to our kitchen. I thought it would be fun to share a few resources for some of my favorite things in our kitchen. From the light fixtures to my favorite spatulas…I’ve never really told you what they are, or where they come from.

Turning an Appliance Garage Into a Coffee Station

August 23, 2016

Coffee. I love it so. In fact, I had fully intended on sharing a coffee quote in this blog post but there were 1,585,763 of them on Pinterest and I couldn’t narrow it down to just one that perfectly captured how I feel about this delicious, dark nectar.

So, instead, I suppose I will show you how I dedicated a little section of my kitchen to the cup of joy and gladness that is pretty much the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning….and what I look forward to having as a treat in the afternoon….and sometimes in the evening…and basically now I’m admitting that my life pretty much revolves around coffee.

When we first toured our home I was just a tiny bit excited to spy an appliance garage. It was one of those things that I honestly would never have thought about having in a kitchen but was nonetheless delighted to discover its existence.

Wood Chargers Turned Wall Art

August 10, 2016

Well, my friends, I’ve committed a major blogging faux pas. In my eagerness to complete a makeover I didn’t take any ‘before’ photos.

But, you have to understand. You see, I had been trying to find just the right thing to fill this wall in our bedroom. I knew what I didn’t want but I just couldn’t seem to find what I did want. I didn’t want a mirror or paintings, I wanted something just a bit…different.

And then one day as I was digging around on the clearance shelves of a discount store, I spotted them.

New Bedroom Nightstands

May 25, 2016

*I’m so excited to be sharing my new bedroom nightstands with you today!*

I have a confession to make…for more years than I care to admit, I was living with a nightstand that, for lack of a better word, was jerry-rigged.

I had purchased a nightstand for my husband’s side of the bed and wanted to use a round table on my side but the only one I could find was a few inches too short. So, I did the only sensible thing you could do in that situation.

Farmer’s Market Sign in the Breakfast Nook

May 20, 2016

I feel the need to declare to you right up front that we are not opening a farmer’s market in our home. I only say this because it was the first question my children asked after they saw my new ‘Farmer’s Market’ sign hanging in the breakfast nook.

Bless their hearts.

Weekend Wonderings

April 30, 2016

Have you ever seen a home on the internet and gone back to look at it over and over again because there were just so many elements you knew you wanted to try and incorporate into your own home?

That’s how I felt when I took the tour of this house featured on Life on Virginia Street. It’s slightly more neutral than I go in my decor but I still absolutely love it.

Aged Galvanized Metal Tray

April 14, 2016

The title of this blog post should really read, “The aged galvanized metal tray that really didn’t want to age.”

And maybe it’s the fact that I turned 40 this year that made me feel a lot of sympathy towards this tray and its unwillingness to let me give it a faux aged look even while I was cursing it under my breath.
