There are so many ways you can spruce up a ceiling! It's often the part of a room that gets neglected the most, but with a little paint, stenciling, wood, etc. you can make it a focal point!

She's a Brick House

So here is the front of my house. I LOVE the fact that I have two huge trees in my yard. I also love our new windows that were installed a couple of weeks ago and our new gutters. They make the house look so much better. It kind of bothers me that the front door is white and the shutters black, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to fixing that. I plan on adding some shrubs of some kind and hydrangea bushes, along with mulch. 

See those pesky green stalks near the corner of my house? Yeah, I have no clue what kind of plant it is, but it WILL NOT go away! Daniel has even pulled it out with a truck and some rope and it still continues to grow. If any of you might know what it is, or how to get rid of it, please help a sister out!

Master Bedroom

So I'm beginning to think of how I want to decorate my master bedroom. I definitely am going to do a collection of mirrors on one wall (because I have a lot of them) and I'm planning on painting my dresser white and adding some fun knobs like these:

And if anyone would want to donate to the 'Jenni loves and has to have this bedspread' fund, that would be great! No takers? Well, fine then...I'll just have to add it to my wish list. :]

Some People Love It, Some People Hate It

The great ole debate: wallpaper. Which side are you on? I personally want to have wallpaper in my house on a focal wall, but my  husband can't stand the idea. I hope one day I can convince him that wallpaper can be a good thing. For instance, check out these photos:

If I get to be real bold, I may try to stencil. See if you can tell the difference.

Now some of you may look at those pictures and cringe and that's okay. I particularly find them inspiring. The one thing that I will do in my lifetime is have a family photo wallpaper mural in a room. Something like this, but a lot smaller and more than one.

Repurposed Trunks

I would love to do something with an old trunk one day. Just the mystery of where one has been and who has carried it intrigues me.

Picker's Heaven

So I don't call myself a picker, but I do like to go to random antique stores and look for "treasures." :] Well, what some call junk, I call treasures. I went to Connie's Antiques, which is on 27 right before you enter the Lancaster town square. Let me tell you, I was in HEAVEN! Here are some of my finds:
 I thought this wheel would work great hanging on a wall, if you had farmhouse type decor. Or you could turn it into a pot rack somehow.
 These ladders work great as shelves. You could paint them any color and it would work.
 I wanted to take this home with me! It would be awesome in a white kitchen. You could use the wood part as a desk. (Paint the wood of course)
 My dream come true! A whole box of canning jars! These can work as vases, storage, decoration, etc. The possibilities are endless. See pics below.

I actually bought this mirror for 5 bucks. I plan on painting it white and putting it in a bedroom.
 These look amazing.
 I'm going to go back and buy a couple of these to plant flowers in and set them on my front "porch."
 WOW!
 Old radios that I bet the show American Restoration could restore.
 Once again, would look great in a kitchen.
