A Jar for Every Season!

Virtue Media

 One thing I find great joy in is planning, decorating, and then 

redecorating my home. 

It truly is my favorite place on Earth. 

As I sat and pondered one of my most versatile pieces, not to mention favorite, I realized that there was one piece that has transcended time. Originally purchased for the candy bar at my wedding reception (pictured above), it has become the centerpiece for many decor ideas and holiday treats. 

It truly is the jar for every season.

So what is this lovely piece I'm rambling on and on about? My apothecary jars of course. 

They come in so many fun shapes and sizes that they can fit into any decor scheme. While they retail for around $30 plus, you can snag one at Michael's for almost half that by using their weekly 40% off one item coupon. Find a great coupon here.

Here's one way I'm using mine as our home transitions from Christmas to a total revamp.

DIY: Nursery Wall Art

Happy Random Tuesday!

Today I did a little DIY for my little one's nursery walls and love how they came out. 

I found some hanging teddy bear appliques while thrifting and thought they were the cutest things ever. Not wanting to hang them on my walls without proper structure I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Here's what I used.

Supplies: frames, pins, baby blue ribbon, and scissors. : )

Original Appliques

 The first thing that bothered me was the fact that the colors weren't exactly what I wanted. So I decided to add blue ribbons to each applique. 

I did this by securing each bow with a sewing pin. At first I pinned it to the original applique but realized it didn't fit well into the frame so I had to remove each one from the backing.

Here's the finished product.

They look so cute in his room. 

Can't wait to meet him!
