DIY with Wine

Pintrest makes me feel like I can actually be crafty. Something I have been wanting to do for a while is re-use wine bottles. I won't lie, I enjoy the occasional glass/bottle of wine and because I love wine SO much, I have been saving the old bottles to re-purpose them for home decor. Some cute ideas:

 [santa hats for the holidays]

 [let it snow. spray paint and epsom salt]

 [probably my fav. yarn wrapped]

[custom labels off etsy]

Storing, not Boring.

I want our space to be functional while reflecting our personalities. Two ideas I love:

 Chalkboard with shelving and hooks. I would hang this piece in my front entry way. The hooks would be perfect for the dog leash, umbrella, etc. I like the vintage feel of a chalkboard for writing messages and leaving my personal favorite, love notes.

I love floor to ceiling bookshelves. This is a little more organized than I would prefer, but I imagine my house to have a giant bookshelf with books, vases, photos and trinkets.

i'm dreaming of a white....kitchen

Michael and I have slowly started looking at houses, and as we do like most shoppers, I am drawn to the kitchen. I think white has made a huge comeback in the kitchen and while dark granite and cabinets were once considered the way to go, white adds a rich, elegant, light, country feel to me. Took some pictures off Pintrest.

 

I think the punches of color in the upholstery showcase personality

 I love, love, love exposed brick!

My dream white kitchen will also have an island.
