A super quick…easy…fun way to give a space a pick-me-up is a new piece of Farmhouse Art. Could be for the wall or it could be part of vignette or stand alone. Well Liz from Love Grows Wild has a brand new sweet tutorial for this “Key To My Heart” Rustic Wood Sign. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day but fabulous all year round. Where would you put this little beauty?
Flowers are probably one of the most fabulous little pick-me-ups ever…but they are even more fun when you arrange them in a unique vessel just like Janet from Shabby Fu Fu…she took her fresh looks and placed them in some Thrifted Trophies and they not only add freshness to the room but a uniqueness and personality. Keep your eyes peeled the next time you are in the Thrift Shop for some new and unexpected vessels for your flowers or plants.
Do you have some sort of collection? Plates? Teapots? Teacups? Candlesticks, Glasses, Figurines, Ironstone, Milk Glass? etc… display it! Find a special that would house your collection and creatively display it just like Miss Mustard Seed did here. Talk about adding a little something special and a whole lot of personality and charm.
Over at Vibeke Design you will find amazing decorating ideas…just by looking through all of the pictures you will be totally inspired. This picture will inspire any Farmhouse Lover…just by taking a few thrifted items and adding a live plant element and elevate a space to a whole new level. I am in love with the distressed pot and the bulbs showing…how gorgeous does that look on the vintage scale. Then a simple glass jar filled with vintage silverware tops the whole look off perfectly. Shop your house…add a plant or two and you will have a new look almost instantly.
I saw this photo over at Alice J and I thought to myself that the shelling unit would make a great pick-me-up in any kitchen…don’t you think. Pick yourself up a simple shelf and add a bar to the bottom of it (maybe with industrial piping). Then decorate it. You can use canisters that you have (or you could buy some new ones…that’s always fun) then with S hooks you can hang some of your every day items like a colander…frying pans…cutting boards…aprons and more. In no time at all you have a great focal in the room!
