Oh Hey! I’m Jill!

I’m so happy you’re here!

Creating a home is a process and it’s something best done over time. Home should be a haven where we can craft the life we want. I love homes with lots of books, comfy spots to snuggle, organized spaces to work and entertain, beautiful treasures picked up along the way, and mementos from a life well lived. But the thing I love most? Home is where your life happens. Let’s make it fabulous, shall we?

It’s the dreaded countdown for me.And who in t It’s the dreaded countdown for me.And who in the heck authorized this whole “shortening of the days” thing? I’d like a word. Out back, in the alley. You’ll need backup.🤦🏻‍♀️
How is Christmas 🎄 in just 14 days? Anyone else How is Christmas 🎄 in just 14 days? Anyone else panicking a bit?What are you looking forward to the most about the holiday?
Little details, that bring back memories from year Little details, that bring back memories from years past. How much do you love dragging out all your Christmas stuff? Anyone?🙋🏻‍♀️

I was out today at the antique mall where I sell @ I was out today at the antique mall where I sell @williamstonantiquemall and thought I'd take a few pictures of my booth. I don't know why I always forget to do that. So I am proud of me for remembering 🤦‍♀️Every time I wander the mall, my head is always spinning and I am rubbernecking to find that next good thing. Today I ended up buying a few pieces of vintage Christmas...a styrofoam Santa, a few Santa mugs, and some ornaments. I can't believe that it will be time to drag everything out soon!Is anyone else kind of excited about decorating for Christmas yet? I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because every time we have an election year, things are so stressful and I just want to climb back in my bubble and think of happy things, like Christmas!Pretty soon, once Halloween passes, I will fill my booth with all things Christmas. Right now, I'm still leaning into the fall vibes and dark colors. The mall where I sell only allows legit antiques and vintage, no reproductions or new stuff. But after Oct. 31, we can have newer Christmas items, so that works.If you are in Michigan (or wherever you are) this is your reminder to hit up your local antique place. It's all about the thrill of the hunt!
The herbs are out of control this year, so I picke The herbs are out of control this year, so I picked some to make something that can be the best little hostess gift.Are you popular and need a little fun gift to give all your besties, neighbors, and squad? And NO, I am not talking about pot brownies 😳 come on over and I can show you how to make the best herb butter!Dude, literally everyone LOVES butter so who would hate that gift? I would love it if anyone brought me food, of any kind. My friend Malia will occasionally share her ah-mazing caramel brownies with me (no cannabis included) and it's always the highlight of my year.So if you're not sure if your friends would like herb butter, then it might be time for some new friends 😂 just teasing. Tell me, what's your favorite thing that people surprise you with? Mine is (other than brownies) when my hubby shows up with a large Diet Coke from McDonald's for me and I just know...it's true love🩷
You guys, I have spilled the beans on the secret t You guys, I have spilled the beans on the secret to the best Garlic Bread ever!Last week on the blog, I shared how to make this ridiculously good and DIFFERENT recipe. I have been making it this way for like 30 years, and everyone who has had it is always just peeing their pants about how good it is!If you haven't seen it, stop by the blog, the link is in my profile.In other fun news, I haven't run away screaming yet, since my return to social media. Ha! I'm just committed to having fun, posting the things I love and that I think you might too. And I'm hoping we can just get on with the fun part, where we encourage and support each other.So come by and say Hi 💁‍♀️ every now and again. Sending you hugs and internet kisses 💋 in a total G-rated way of course.
I like gingham, so I painted some faux pumpkins fo I like gingham, so I painted some faux pumpkins for a fun little project. Of course they had to make their way around the house a bit.So tell me, who 'wore' it better?Vote in the comments and tell me A, B, C, D or E😂If you're a gingham lover too, head to the blog for instructions on how to paint these cuties.#ginghampumpkins #craftingwithpaint
I'm back after a long break, and I am turning the I'm back after a long break, and I am turning the page on September.Frankly, the last 6 months have been interesting and I just needed a bit of time to settle into myself. After the loss of my Mom, then our beloved dog, we just took the summer to soak up all the fun of visiting the cottage, living in the moment, and taking care of business.So although you haven't seen me here, I have been busying myself with the (chalk and clay) paint side of my business, the blog, buying and selling vintage, and working with clients to make their design dreams come true. Being creative is pretty much oxygen for me (when you know, you know) and I have been so grateful to have this "work" in my life.You know when someone once said how important it is to "love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life" and I can tell y'all, it's true. Most of my work has felt like play to me and I am happy to stay busy. It kind of keeps me out of trouble. Well, sometimes. 😜I'm now looking forward to this last quarter of the year, with the changing seasons and the holidays coming quickly. I hope you will join me here, share your thoughts, and soak up any inspiration that sparks you into doing something fun. Tell me, what fuels your fire? 🔥 I can't wait to hear...it's good to be back.
Furniture in the bathroom? Yes please! If you have Furniture in the bathroom? Yes please! If you have the space, adding furniture can make a bathroom feel more decorated along with providing storage. We removed a clunky builtin that was repurposed in the garage, making space for this beauty.This cabinet was painted using the color Tea Towel from our Bungalow 47 Furniture Paint line. It holds all my little coastal treasures, extra towels, and more!Do you have any furniture in your bathroom?
I was just talking to someone who said to me..." I was just talking to someone who said to me..."This paint is the best paint out there!"You know what I said?"You're right!"Whether you are transforming Grandma's dresser to make it your own, painting a slate floor like I did, or painting crafts for the holidays...we've got you covered.#bungalow47furniturepaint #makeitnew #makeityou
I’ve been a bit distracted the past few weeks tr I’ve been a bit distracted the past few weeks trying to nurse this little fur baby back to health.After removing his spleen, along with a mass the size of my fist🤦🏻‍♀️he is finally feeling better. He is playing and eating, and enjoying life again.It’s been a good reminder to me to listen to your body, when it tells you it doesn’t feel good. Now time to schedule all those regular checkups for myself that I have been putting off🙄It’s okay to officially start the new year on February 1, isn’t it? Asking for a friend.😊
