Mason Jar Kitchen Canisters

I love Mason jars just as much as the next vintage-loving girl.
And, of course, I have a small collection of them at home.
I finally decided to give them a permanent home in my kitchen as canisters.

Cloche Enough

Thrift Store Glass Dome Cloche with Natural Wood Base | Denise on a Whim
I'll admit it.
I have a thing for cloches.
Up until now, it's always been an admire-from-afar kind of thing.
But, thanks to a lucky trip to the thrift store,
I now have my very own cloche!

An Edison Bulb Lamp and a Chippy Yellow Table

An Edison Bulb Lamp and a Chippy Yellow Table
 It's rare that I actually get something brand-spanking new.
Most of my home decor is either something I've had forever,
something I've repurposed or, lately,
something I've built myself.
I've been wanting a table lamp for some time now and I finally got one!
Yay!

Grab Your Coat Hook Board

Rustic Hook Board from Denise on a Whim
I had every intention of writing a nice long post along with this new project
since I've been gone so long.
But, the truth is, I'm just a little too busy and tired to do just that.
So, instead, this will be a short post and I'll let the project do the talking.

A Christmas Gallery Wall

Festive Red Chalkboard from Denise on a Whim
I always decorate the wall in my dining room for the holidays.
This year, I began with a large chalkboard I had made out of a mirror frame.
From that, my dining room wall became a Christmas Gallery Wall!

Architectural Salvage Wall Hooks

Architectural Salvage Wall Hooks from Denise on a Whim
I've had this wonderful piece of salvaged wood
in my garage for a few years now.
I had a few in things in mind for it but they never seemed
to work out quite right when it came time to use this piece.
Guess it's just been waiting for me to find the right match for it.
And I found that match when I picked up an old brown finial.
Now it's a gorgeous backdrop for wall hooks!

Fireplace Log Roller Centerpiece

An antique Log Roller Upcycled as a Fall Centerpiece from Denise on a Whim
This antique fire log roller was a recent find at a garage sale.
I picked up this, a bookcase, a chair and a few small items for only $13!
Right now, I'm loving this filled with some autumn colors!

Love, Flowers and Romantic Artwork

Do all couple have a thing they say to each other? You know, a little phrase that has become part of your regular conversation. For Eric and I it's, Love You More. One of us usually ends up saying it when we end a phone conversation. The funny thing is, my kids have now taken it up, too. So I hear it often. Guess that's why I created this sign.

Vintage Valentine Vignette

Vintage and Thrifted Pieces in a Valentine Vignette via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
Sometimes all it takes is one small, pretty thing to inspire an entire vignette. That's exactly what happened when I swapped out the decor on my wall shelf recently!

Painted Lamp with a Rag Shade

I picked up a couple of lamps at an estate sale this past fall. They were gold and rather ugly but I liked the details on them and knew they would look cute when painted. So when I started working on new items for my booth, I grabbed one and got to work!

Simply Adorable Snowman Ornaments

It's easy to make darling snowmen ornaments from slices of 2x4 boards!
When you have as much scrap wood laying around as we do, you find all kinds of uses for it. Like these too-cute and very simple snowman ornaments!

Bike Wheel Rag Wreath

While I didn't have the time to snap any nice, fancy pictures of this project, I'm sharing it with you anyway since I think it's pretty fun! With a little rust and some pretty fabric, my daughter's old bicycle wheel makes a pretty autumn rag wreath!

Coffee Served Daily Sign

I love coffee. This is no secret. But, for some reason, I've never made a coffee sign. I've seen some super cute ones out there lately so I figured it was time for me to join the crowd!

Vintage Suitcase Table

I've always wanted to try my hand at one of the awesome suitcase tables I've seen around. And when I saw an incredibly gorgeous vignette on Pinterest with some brown, white and red suitcases, I fell in love! So I pulled one of my old suitcases out of the garage and got to work!

Rustic Flag {a pallet & wire project}

I had a request from my best friend's mom awhile back to donate something to an upcoming raffle. I figured I would make a pallet sign, which are pretty easy to do but always sell well. The raffle is part of American Heros' Ride, so I decided to make a pallet flag. I've never actually made one before either and I thought it would be fun to try. I really love how it turned out so I'm sharing it with you today.
