Sometimes they’ll do the trim too if it’s looking really grubby, but a lot of us leave the ceilings off the of to-do list until they’re looking really shabby.. Like this.. Or this.. Yup.

I used little tea light holders with water in them to put the blooms in to my twine bowl.. Yup.That paint can and renovating debris is still there, weeks later.

Just keeping things real.Well, real for a few days ago.Things are changing in there now!.

Flags and patriotic decor in general just always seem right in the Summer.We’re in Canada here, but I have the Stars and Stripes going too.

It’s the neighborly thing to do.

Plus I like the look.So that’s pretty much it!.

I’ve been seeing white ginger jars like this showing up in trendy decor catalogs more and more over the last couple of years for BIG bucks.If you like the look of them, why not save yourself like $100 and just paint some yourself?

It’s an easy DIY project!It’s no secret that we love us some moldings around here.Trim work is such a great way to add a feeling of richness to your home and it’s actually deceptively inexpensive and easy if you use basic hardware store pieces combined together to create the look you want.
