It's a Southern Thing

I'm not sure if it's the Cold Michigan Winter that just won't quit, but I have been biting at the bit to get the heck out of the Mitten State! I've had thoughts of heading South the past couple of weeks.....a thought that has been hard to put to bed.

Brick Walls Exposed

How amazing is the chandelier above the dining area? ...love!

One of the things I love most about New York is that "exposed brick" is considered a luxury item in most apartments or lofts. If you are lucky enough to have one, you and I would be on the same interior design page.

If you are lucky enough to have an exposed brick wall, and  live in a New York City loft? 
I'm moving in, STAT.

Home Decor That Never Goes Out of Style

Wonderful Winter Whites

I'm loving these spaces & pieces showcasing bright, stark white. It's a perfect choice to give the illusion of a larger living area. Use it as an overall room base & add in your own little splashes of color.Clean, crisp, & something I need more of in my life!

Painted Fox: Rustic Moxie Clip Chain

Every square inch of my home is covered in "Christmas" and I wouldn't have it any other way. Christmas is my most very favorite time of the year!
Let's face it, I wait twelve long months for it to make it's way back around again, I might as well do it up right!

Blogger Holiday Home Tour 2015!

Happy Wednesday!

My super sweet friend Sandra from the Rustic Life Blog asked myself, and nine other bloggers to participate in a blogger holiday home tour back in October. We have been planning this for weeks, and I'm so excited this day is finally here! I'm so honored to join in with this amazingly talented group of women that I'm happy to call my friends.

Sparklefly Holiday Candles!

Happy November friends!

I don't know about you, but these cooler fall days have me getting into hibernation mode. You know what I mean......snuggling by a fire at night under a warm throw, lighting some of your favorite scented candles and heading to bed earlier. In honor of my candle addiction, I'm officially declaring this week "National Candle Week"!

Candles not only smell amazing, they feel like a warm hug on a cool night. They set the tone for a cozy welcoming room. This time of year I literally go "candle crazy" and pretty much have a candle lit in every room of my home.

Easy DIY Fall Banner

Hey there Fall Lover!

Who's ready for a really fun and fast DIY Fall project?
I've been seeing so many cute Fall banners all over Instagram lately, that I decided to make one myself. I wanted to spruce up my black fireplace box and this banner is the perfect touch.

Don't get me wrong.....I love the cute banners I've spotted in the Target One Spot but thought it would be fun to customize the banner words and make good use of some leftover scrapbook paper I had on hand.

~Home Decor Trends for 2016~

Hammered Aluminum Bowls        Rattan Baskets

If you're anything like me, you wanted to scream at the top of your lungs when you saw Holiday decor going up in retail stores in July........slow your roll people! Let's actually enjoy each season, wouldn't you say? My sad face emojis are about to go into overdrive because Summer is officially over.

I may or may not have been living under a rock these past couple weeks working on my new home decor magazine Everything Home <-----------------(SUPER exciting), but I always have time to keep up with the latest home decor news and my sweet friends over on Instagram.

At Home Design Series: Mortenson Tray

Welcome to Fall friends!

I don't know about you, but I am super excited that Fall has finally arrived! Even if you live in a warmer climate, you have to agree with me...... there's just something special about decorating your home this time of year. For me, it's the official kickoff to the upcoming Holiday season and that just puts a big ole smile on my face.
I'm crazy for textures, I love the mix of vibrant and neutral colors, and of course, the pumpkins! Who doesn't love pumpkins? Big one, little ones....I want them all.

My Love of Vintage Dough Bowls

I'm not sure about you, but I'm willing to admit that I have had an obsession with antique vintage dough bowls for the past few years. And by obsession, I mean dragging my fiance to countless flea markets & antique shops on the weekends to hunt down the perfect bowl.

I would make it a point to ask the sellers in advance if they had any vintage dough bowls upon entering their stores, and most just looked at me like I had three heads.
C'mon people, there's a vintage bowl movement out there and everyone is trying to get their hot little hands on one! If I did find an authentic bowl I liked, it was either the wrong size, it was cracked right down the middle, or the price exceeded the amount I would get if I sold a kidney (and I like my kidneys!)

~How to add Farmhouse Style to Your City Home~

Please don't get me wrong....I absolutely love my home, (but if I could trade my newer built "sub division" home for a farmhouse beauty like my friend Lauren has)....I would do it in a heartbeat!

Lauren lives with her husband Brett, and cute little son Baker, in this gorgeous 100 year old Alabama farmhouse. They took on the ultimate DIY challenge last September by purchasing their new farmhouse, and I have loved watching the amazing transformation.
I just swoon over all the charm & character!
Lauren has a beautiful Spring Home Tour of her farmhouse property up on her blog, so please take a peek. I know you will love her home as much as I do!

Tuesday Tours: Flea Market Style

Hello friends!
Welcome to this week's edition of Spindle & Rye "Tuesday Tours".

This week my amazinglyawesome (<-------is that even a word?) friend Vikki  takes us for a peek inside her beautiful California home! Vikki is a stay at home Mom to three beautiful little girls, is a crafter & a lover of all things flea market & vintage.

You will see from these beautiful photos, that Vikki has cornered the "art of flea marketing" & shows us that old items can be very new again.
