Goodbye May!

I can't believe May is almost over! I spent most of the month preparing for all the exciting things to come to Rustic Living in the summer months, so it pretty much flew by! I can't wait to share with all of you all the fun ideas I have for this little blog/shop! I have a feeling this summer is going to be one of the best yet!

To celebrate a new month full of exciting opportunities I'm offering a special discount on all my advertising spots! The discount code is available only on my Facebook page. Offer ends at midnight tonight. 

Looking forward to June!

Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."—Luke 5:31-32 (NIV)

Window Display

In previous posts I've shown pictures of antique window frames I picked up at an auction for just $1.00 a piece. As time has gone on I've changed them up a bit and wanted to share what they look like in my home today. I really love these window frames, there are so many decorative possibilities with them and they never fail to add some charm to a room.

Just a little somethin' on a beautiful Wednesday : )

Hope your all having a great day!

Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."—Luke 5:26 (NIV)

The Dog Days of (almost) Summer

According to my sister's dog, today is a day for relaxing. 

Today is a day for finding tall green grass to turn into a cozy bed.

A day for soaking up the sun and enjoying the simple things in life.

A day of no worries.

Oh to be a dog.

Cool as Mint

In this previous post I showed you this adorable secretary desk that became my next project. I'm so excited to finally show how she turned out! As you can see she was in pretty rough condition, but sometimes those are my most favorite projects. The ones that need just a bit more love!

Remember my inspiration?! I came across these adorable lovebirds when I was browsing Pinterest. I fell in love with the color and the distressed details.

Here she is! I'm pretty excited with how she turned out, the color is right and the knobs are perfect. 

The door on the desk was in pretty rough condition, so I decided to leave it off. It was an easy decision because I love how it puts the focus on the beautiful hardware.

I'll use some putty to fill in the spots where the hinges were, but for now I'm fine with simply enjoying my new secretary desk : )

Cool as mint! 

What do you think, is it close to my inspiration?

Tomorrow is Friday! Yay!

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.

—Galatians 5:24 (NIV)

Knobs & Necklaces

I'm kind of crazy about knobs! I love the fun colors, different styles, affordability, and how easy they are to use. I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and chose four decorative knobs that matched the colors in our bedroom but still complemented one another. For this necklace holder I simply spray painted a plank of wood with an antique white and used twine to hang.

How awesome is this clear knob?! So simple and elegant.

Pretty simple. 

Simply pretty : )

Have a lovely Tuesday!

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.—2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)

Remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.—James 5:20 (NIV)
