My friend Heather and her husband have made almost everything in their home.
You would never know that this is a new construction.
Every corner of her house is filled with eye candy, I could stay for hours.
{You can find the stay awhile print here}
She has a great eye for antique pieces and uses them in a non conventional way.
For example: this vanity is in her entryway.
She made the sign above herself!
She found this fabulous wallpaper, but there was only a small amount.
So, she got clever and added the wainscoting!
She turned an area that used to be built in shelving into a unique desk area complete with chalkboard on the wall turned into a calendar!
Heather also made this dairy sign after seeing one she liked at the Barn House Boys flea market.
I love how she turned the books around on the mantle~genius!
Her husband and her made this clock out of a discarded table top!
There is vintage lighting everywhere.
Loving this "faux" fireplace!
Here is a clever way to hold paper towels.
An old cart holds serving pieces in the kitchen.
Heather has used old windows all over her house as picture frames.
Instead of getting expensive mattes cut, she simply uses white poster board as backing, or sometimes, white denim fabric.
Here's a project I'm going to do!
She used materials from the hardware store to make this rail system
to hold her photos going up the stairs.
See that fabulous rug at the bottom of the stairs under the dining table?
It's a inexpensive drop cloth she painted stripes on!
They added on a "cinema" over the garage, complete with apothecary jars filled with goodies.
Here's a clever way to store dog food!
The dog bowl sits below on the ground.
This wreath she made after seeing a tutorial on my blog.
It turned out so cute, and I love the red ticking hanger!
This is a better picture of the dining room.
She also made the slipcovers for the chairs.
In the landing upstairs she has a great collection of old first aid kits for a pop of color.
Here is her little bit of Halloween decorating, she admits she doesn't go all out for Halloween.
Subtle, but the mouse scared me! :)
Close up of the clock they made.
Attached to the cinema is a kids play space.
The sofa table is made from vintage balusters and old doors.
Her husband made the book rack too.
This is at the chalkboard calendar she made in her nook.
Vintage desk accessories.
Clever storage for bills and paperwork.
She purchased this piece at Farm Chicks and turned it into lighting for her covered back porch!
Her next step is to make it into a heat lamp for those chilly nights.
Guest bath with retro fitted cabinet.
The seat of her desk chair she covered in leftover fabric scraps.
Magazine storage on a cute chippy ladder.
Pretty darn fabulous huh?
I think country living should be knocking on her door any day now!
And in other news, my friend Janette Mallory is having a sale
over at one kings lane today! Head on over to check it out!
I'll be back tomorrow with a interview with Heather, so if you have any questions, leave them in the comments section!

When you have friends with houses that look like this, you start to feel like your own home
is a bit inadequate.
My friend Leah's home is drop dead gorgeous in my eyes.
I haven't seen it in person.
I'm sure it's even better in person.
But for now, I get to look at all the beautiful photos courtesy of my friend Isabel.
I have tried doing white walls in my house.
They never looked as good as this.....
I have LUSTED
{yep, that's what I said}
over this cow painting for years.
Someday.....
I love cows.
My grandparents had cows, and if my husband would let me, I'd have about 10 of them.
I also wanted to apologize for not blogging as regularly as I am used to.
Ruffles and Rust Square has been super busy and I find myself consumed by re~stocking the shelves!
Thanks to all who came out on Saturday for the sale!
It blew my mind how much I sold!
Have a great Monday.
I'm off to go bake some cookies!
xoxo
