Creating planters and urns for a shaded area is more than just tossing a hanging basket of impatiens in an urn on your porch. Sure, we've all done that, but this year why not make one of those fancy planters like the garden center pros do? Today I'm showing you how to make a container...

Are you looking for a stylish solution to hide your garden hose? Are you tired of having to crank a handle to roll up your hose all the time? While looking for a new hose holder for my garden hose I saw some fancy copper bowls made to hold a coiled-up hose. Cool idea, but...

Painting Longaberger baskets is something I've been thinking about more and more often lately. Back in the day, I collected Longaberger baskets, but they've mostly been sitting in a storage bin in the basement for quite a while now. I brought out a few of the smaller ones and have used them to organize tea...

Sometimes when you find two iconic pieces of vintage furniture that are broken or missing some pieces it's OK to combine them into one very functional piece. Sure, you'd like to restore both to their previous glory, but sometimes you just can't. Today I'm showing you an eco-friendly upcycling project that breathes new life into...

Easter Porch Decor : A Repurposed Modern Farmhouse Look https://www.houseofhawthornes.com/easter-porch-decor-repurposed-modern-farmhouse/?adt_ei={{ subscriber.email_address }} https://www.houseofhawthornes.com/easter-porch-decor-repurposed-modern-farmhouse/#comments Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:08:24 +0000 https://www.houseofhawthornes.com/?p=40146

I don't normally do a whole lot of outdoor Easter decorating. Mainly because it's normally pretty chilly here in March. Who wants to hang out on the porch putting up spring-like decor with snow flurries blowing sideways and wind whipping all around? But this year is different. We've had a virtual heat wave here in...

If I've said it once I've said it 4,999 times, 1970's wooden salad bowls and serving pieces seem to be spontaneously reproducing themselves at thrift stores. They're all over the place. I blame it on people decluttering their houses this time of year and deciding they don't need to store a huge salad bowl set...

I like to mix a little boho decor with my vintage decor pieces. Or as I like to call it, my somewhat eclectically eccentric vintage-loving decor. I feel the old bamboo pieces so easily found at thrift stores and estate sales give a little bit of a classic, bohemian aesthetic along with a bit of...
