I love scented pine cones! Nothing makes your home smell more festive than spicy cinnamon pinecones. Keep reading because my featured blogger is sharing how to make your own.
She’s from Washington! Like me. Maybe she can just come over and save me from my confused decorating self. I mean if she can decorate her house so cute with triplets…….then surely she’ll have time for me, right?
I don’t know if it’s a Washington thing or not…….but she also uses drop cloths for drapes. I love the ones I used for my outdoor room and I’m getting ready to replace my slider drapes with them. Might even have to use them for my new slip covers a friend is going to help me with (she’s sewing, I’ll just be standing there)
Maybe while my friend is sewing my slipcovers, I’ll grab an old book and start rolling pages and make a wreath! Isn’t that cute? She posted this wreath made by D. Reynes.
I love it. So original.
How to Make Scented Pinecones
She’s been getting her house ready for Fall. I love the tutorial on how to make your own scented pine cones.
Why haven’t I thought of that before? I just buy the over powering ones from Micheal’s. She’s got the full tutorial on her site.
If you like a coastal influence for decorating, then you’ll really enjoy her blog.
She’s thrifty with a good eye. Please surprise her with a comment from TCB.

I can’t wait to see all the ideas for over the couch, mine is still empty!
Ha Ha…:D I feel the same way …Its like you finish one space and move on to the next and by the time you’re kindof finished with that you feel that the first one needs some redoing and stuff and the cycle goes on and on!
mixing seashells with pinecones is so unexpected and perfect! such a cool idea
Love the wreath idea – how fun is that? And we always collect pine cones but have never tried scenting them. Will have to do that this year!
Gorgeous!
Great blog, gets better every day! Keep up the good work!!!
I love the look of drop cloths for drapes. Do you think you could dye them to get more color in the room? The room I’m thinking of using them in already has walls the same color as the drop cloths. I’m afraid they’ll just blend in so much you won’t even see them. Lemme know what you think!
Dropcloths for drapes?! Are you KIDDING me? That is SO clever!
I keep learining all these great tips & tricks. & I love how you are genuine (the “I’ll just be standing there” comment)
Love your bog!!!
I am going to go see how she did her drapes. I need something easy over our sliding glass door…desperately need to add something.
I love that wreath! It seems like I could even whip one up before Fall is over… thanks for the great ideas!
I love the paper wreath. I might try one of those myself.
Love the scented pine cone tutorial! Definitely going to have to try that with the million little pine cones in my back yard!
I wish I could just decorate and stop. But I cant. I must visit that site and see how to make the scented pinecones!! Thanks.
The paper wreath is a win in my book. Fun and texture and looks easy. Got to go….A new blog to look over.
Blessings
Thanks for featuring me! I feel so honored!!! You totally made my day
LOVE that you are from Washington too!

I totally want to make my own scented pine cones!
Oh oh! I buy those overpowering pine cones from Michaels too!! Here is to making our own!
love the paper wreath! I just sent it to my mom. It would also be really cute using sheet music.
I love the way you put the beach theme items on today. I needed that! Thinking of how much I miss the beach now that the weather is getting colder. I will wave when we arrive in Portland (or thereabouts) for Thanksgiving at my sister’s house.
That wreath is really neat. I think I’ll have to try that.
I love all the shells! So pretty!
I love the wreath! I have been seeing a lot of newspaper and old books recycling projects on the web but this tops it all! FABULOUS!!
love the wreath! too cute
My, she’s crafty!
Very cool ideas!
I love the beach style. I just closed on my very first home and I am looking for decorating ideas. Which is why I love your blog! Thanks for sharing!!!
I thought I was the only one who thought the cinnamon pine cones @ Michael’s choke me to death (I still buy them though)..but sine I was in NC last week, I actually picked these HUGE pine cones out of my sis-in-laws parents’ yard…they are awesome and I can’t wait to spray them silver!
I need outdoor drapes and refuse to pay the price on PB…nor do I sew. I tried making drapes, not as easy as it seems. Great iea for drop cloth, can’t wait to try!
Love to wreath too!
some really great crafty ideas, beautiful stuff. Im a beach person I love the beachy items and the wreath is so clever like it a lot. Great inspiring site, will come back often to see more!
I’ve never thought of drop cloths. What a cute idea!
I absolutely Love Lisa Leonard Designs..glad that you have found her too..she is on my “wish” list for myself..
