DIY: Shiplap Fireplace

We finally managed to place a shiplap feature over our fireplace. It only took eight years, but it finally made it up on the wall. We want to focus a bit on improving our home bit by bit, to make it our own. This is mostly cosmetic and not a necessity, but as I mentioned, we want it to reflect us. Currently, it does not. We were also going to replace the tiles, but the guy never showed up. What is that all about? I don't even know.

So I researched some projects online and I have to say there weren't many on how to go about this small space. We went to Lowes and purchased shiplap boards, but not the kind that comes with the gaps. The only kind available at the time was the textured kind. It was really rough and dark, so we used the backside of it instead. I believe that the boards came in a pack of 6. We purchased a quart of white paint and the rest of the supplies we had at home.

(Antique Farmhouse)

Hello friends, it's been a minute since I have posted. Now that we are getting close to the holiday season and people are already decorating their homes, I thought I'd share some finds. I was browsing over at the Antique Farmhouse and they have so many wonderful pieces for the Holidays. I want to share it with you before they are all gone. They are so beautiful and yet subtle. Take for instance this beautiful wreath.

I just love this great selection of cards. Now I don't have to spend so much on one card, but buy several for all occasions and they are all at the Dollar Tree.
