Ashley from Rustic Living {Guest Post}


Hello Serenity You readers! My name is Ashley from Rustic Living. I'm so happy to share with you a little passion of mine. I was blessed to have been raised on a farm in southern Idaho . It was there that I developed an appreciation for all things "rustic", specifically furniture and home decor that has an antique or distressed look to it. On my blog I share my love for the country lifestyle, furniture transformations, and DIY projects. I'm still a newbie at all of this, so sometimes things turn out great and others....well, you know. Luckily, today I'm sharing with you my most favorite projects.

Blue Shabby Chic Dresser & Rustic Frame
I just can't get enough of the blue/gray paint color on this dresser! I kept the old plates from the original knobs and added new shabby chic knobs that I knew would compliment the color. The rustic frame hanging above is from the top half of an old door I picked up at a consignment store. The bottom half I turned into a coffee table, you can see that here.

Customizable Rustic Chic Wedding Pillows
I had always wanted to learn how to make pillows. I love how much character they can add to a bedroom, living room, or even an entryway bench. I began to think how fun it would be to create customizable pillows for others celebrating a very special day, their wedding day. I opened up an Etsy shop and have really enjoyed creating pillows with a personal touch for the happy couple to be. I also sell decorative pillows, usually with a touch of burlap, that will add a rustic chic feel to any room.

Scripture Chair
This project was a lot of fun to do! I call it the Scripture Chair because I placed Proverbs 3:5 on the seat cushion. It was great way to add some charm and it works well with the beautiful turquoise color.


Wine Rack turned Towel Holder
This has become one of my most popular projects. I found this wine rack at a thrift store for just six dollars! I knew I could use it for something, so I brought it home and waited for the "light bulb" moment. It eventually made its way onto a wall in my bathroom to hold towels. The husband and I both love this towel holder for its functionality and cuteness!


I had so much fun sharing. Thanks to Natasha for giving me the opportunity to drop by today! Feel free to check out my Etsy shop or take a gander on over to my blog, Rustic Living, and see what project I'm currently working on. Have a great day!

*******
Thank you so much Ashley for sharing your beautiful projects

52 Weeks of You: At home with Mrs H



                                                                    
Hello! and welcome to '52 weeks of you'
Where every week I'll feature one of YOUR great blogs!
So if you'd like to be seen here email me at serenityyou@hotmail.co.uk
And tell me a little about yourself and your blog 
Please note : Get your name down now as there is a 4 month waiting list 

This Week I'm Featuring : At Home with Mrs H


I live here in Wales with my charming Dusband (husband named Dus) where we are the church youth workers and I'm the church secretary. Dusband runs his own coding company from our spare room and I squish into the corner with my trusty old toyota and a closet full of fabric. Ok, let's get back to the truth, I sew in the spare room and Dusband is squished into the corner with his coding. This year is an exciting year for me as I look to release my first bag pattern and run bag making classes.

I'm not in blogging for sponsorship or to reach high numbers of followers, I just like to talk. My blog is my outlet and I like to post about my organising and recipes and general insights into our life.

I run my etsy shop on the side but I'm looking to clear the stock ready for my bags and patterns coming later this year. Here's the link for my shop
