I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
THAT was exactly what my day needed! What an amazing and inspiring collection of photos…. If it wasn’t still dark outside I would be out with my clippers. THANK YOU! I’ve been in a rut lately, I think this is what I needed to get out of it: NATURE! God is the ultimate designer!~ xoxo jules
I agree! He knows what to do best for sure! Have a great week Jules!
Good golly, these are all photos from your house?!? You are quite an amazing designer with an eye for details. Love everything pictured here. Thanks so much for collecting them all in one post, what great inspiration!
Thanks Kelly! Glad you like them. Have a great week!
Thanks for sharing all of these great ideas for bringing nature inside. I saw your post over at “Handy Man, Crafty Woman”.
Such amazing ideas! I love the idea of repurposing natural elements and then using them in unique ways … you’ve done some really neat things in your home!
Great ideas of using nature in your decorating!
