Drift wood home decor

Just another day at the beach...

A rough, windy, but beautiful morning on the lake with the skyline in the distance.

So I have had this stick ... Not just any old stick, but one that broke off a tree at some point and found it way into our glorious lake, I'm pretty sure it has a story to tell about the journey it took to end up on the beach all worn and bleached. I found it on a walk with my boys. I have had it propped up in a corner for years, always knowing it was meant for greatness. Well, today was that day. After bobbing along in the lake until it was smooth and worn, then sitting in a corner for years, then hanging on my wall waiting to be turned into something good, it has become a wonderful piece of art. I love that because the stick is not straight the pictures hang a bit off, I find there is perfection in the imperfect:) I hope you are inspired to make a little something with things you find and they make you happier! This does it for me!


Enjoy this glorious day!

Driftwood hearts on fire

Washed by the tide: Walking along the beach with my two boys looking for beach glass, heart rocks and what ever treasures we could find, we came across a real one of a kind treasure. This is a piece we found at Huntington beach and when I looked at it I could see it was the perfect shape to be painted with my heart and flames design. It is photographed on my favorite coffee table that Ryan and I lugged home from an antique show. The table was also a treat because when I cut the legs down and started to sand the yellow paint, the most amazing nail holes, hammer marks and blue color peeked through. That gave it the most amazing beachy, cool feel! Unexpected gifts:) I intended on selling the driftwood heart so I mounted it in a shadow box, but can't seem to part with it just yet!
