Dirt Road Adventures: Spring Break

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures: Spring break! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.

Hey friends, I hope you have had a good week. We spent the week at our beach cottage with 3 fur babies. We had more than a few mishaps with elderly grand fur baby. We felt he was homesick and a little confused. But we all survived, and they are back home with their parents. Whew!

In other news we got to spend some time with our beach neighbors and even got a little shopping in.

Did you see the lamp I found for the screened porch? It is just the cutest and I couldn’t believe the price.

See how it looks in its new spot at the end of the post.

Before we traveled to the beach, I had prepared all my blog post shares for the week. Here’s a quick recap in case you missed it.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

There are so many wonderful blog posts each week, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL

• We are trying to decide on new paint colors for our kitchen cabinets, and I’m obsessed with Amy’s creative ideas. Check out this article, “How to Choose Paint Colors for Stained Cabinets.”
• Do you love organizational ideas? I need all the help I can get, and KariAnne’s 17 Simple Ideas for Bathroom Organization includes the best ideas.
• Wait until you see Jennifer’s gorgeous DIY Paper Flower branches. They look so real.
• If you’ve ever wondered why your Spring bulbs aren’t blooming, you have to check out Stacy’s tips to ensure healthy blooms year in and year out.
• Last week, I shared 20 Creative DIY Wreath Ideas and almost included Wendy’s clever vintage garden tool clock. Although it’s not a wreath, it’s just too darn cute not to share. You will love it.

Thrifted Find of the Week

Do you get excited when you find the perfect decor accessory? I had just finished decorating the screen porch with birds, nests, and birdhouses when I ran across this adorable Spring bird lamp. Although all the photos were taken and the post was going live the next day, I had to add the lamp to the article.

We arrived home, and the first thing I did was place my new treasure in its new home. Let me know what you think of it.

What’s in my cart

Although I didn’t do much online shopping, I did order a few things for some future projects. See if you can guess what I’m using them for.

• This set of Flower Wooden Stamps
• These white cotton linen napkins
• And these miniature horses.
