Life Simply Stated... Blocks to Mix & Match and Tell a Story...

I can't get enough of these cute little trendy blocks.  What a great and fun way to tell a story!  They're so versatile and as your story changes you can change your blocks!
Love this color and word combo!

The addition of the heart and anchor to the "Love anchors" one is so Cute!


Words of faith

Play with how you stack them...off set, twist & turn or stack them straight.  It's all up to you! 

I have a very limited supply in my Etsy shop at the moment, but many are out of stock.  I will be working on a fresh batch full of new designs and colors.  I hope to have my shop restocked by mid next week!

Thanks for looking!

Life Simply Stated Blocks...

Word blocks have been around forever, but Life Simply Stated blocks aren't your mamma's word blocks.  Nope, these are super cute &trendy blocks that can be displayed in a variety of ways.  From word strips, to stacked messages to magnets and even wall decor.  They make great centerpieces for your wreaths, too.  I will be making them for various seasons and holidays as well.  To get all the details visit my FB page HERE...lots of pictures in post dated 6/5.  Here's a peek at a few of them...

Rustic Door - Praise Him in the Hallway

I was asked to create a door with the quote - Until God opens the next door, Praise him in the hallway.

Here's my take on it...

Love the rustic, distressed charm of this door.  So shabby chic!

The ornate hardware and ribbon add a touch of vintage softness.  To me the key is a subtle reminder that we need to wait for God to open the next door and not try to do it on our own.

Gotta love big rustic hinges.  They remind me of something you might find on an old barn door or farm shed.

I will be offering these in my shop on a made to order basis... Been There Salvaged That

My Old Window Found a Home

In case you forgot how the window looked when I found it...

Now a focal point above our television...

One of these days I need to paint the table our electronics sit on.  Ohhh...one of these days, lol!
I used my Silhouette to cut out the word, "Family" and added a small heart for an extra touch.

For the Love of Old Windows

One of my favorite treasure hunt finds is a good old window.  Even more exciting if the old hardware is still attached. :)

 It's surprising how well all the years of gunk and grime wash away with a little elbow grease.  Such a good feeling to bring a piece of time gone by, back to life.   
I used my Silhouette to create the word "family" and added the heart for a special touch.  It will hang in the living/family room.

Sometimes time is short and I don't always get all my projects and vintage finds posted to my blog.  Be sure to check out my facebook  page to see more...  Been There Salvaged That
