I found these adorable vintage thermoses and loved them as-is… but then I had the idea to give them a spooky-cute Jack-o’-lantern makeover for Halloween! 🎃

All I did was pull out my @cricut and cut a simple Jack-o’-lantern face from removable vinyl. Now I have two decorations in one! Display the plain side for your cozy fall decor, then simply turn them around when it’s time for Halloween decorating. It’s such an easy way to get more use out of your vintage finds!

This is one of my favorite easy Cricut Halloween DIYs because it takes just a few minutes, costs almost nothing, and gives thrifted decor a fun seasonal twist. If you love vintage Halloween decor, thrift flips, and budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas, you have to try this one! Comment “Halloween” below and I’ll send you all the details! 

Would you leave them vintage… or are you team Jack-o’-lantern? 🎃🖤

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window too? 🐈

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!

Easy Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas

You know I love to decorate for every season and holiday. But since Valentine’s Day is so short, I didn’t want to over do it. So I thought it would be fun to show you guys how I dressed a few of my spaces up by adding just a few, simple Valentine’s Day decor touches here and there. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it inspires you to add little Valentine’s Day pops in your home as well!

Valentine's Tiered Tray
You see that sweet, hand-embroidered tea towel underneath my sweets canister? My great-great grandmother stitched that and my Meme gifted it to me last year for my birthday! It’s so perfect for me since I love vintage things and I am cat obsessed as well!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here for my disclosure policy.

Valentine’s Day Coffee Bar

My favorite space to decorate for every season is hands down my coffee bar! It is so much fun to switch up and I am the kind of person that gets tired of looking at the same thing over and over again so I like to be able switch my decor up.

So this space is perfect for me and it helps me be as creative as I want.

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You can also see how I keep my Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummies on my coffee bar. That way I am reminded to take them daily, and they match my decor too! Plus, you can still use my code “morningsonmacedonia” to try them out and save 10%!

For Valentine’s Day, I decided to showcase a few of my Valentine’s Rae Dunn mugs and add little touches of pink and red all over.

You know I also love to mix old and new pieces together, so adding in those old vintage pink thermoses on top was a fun touch as well! Having a coffee bar is a really easy way to add in some Valentine’s Day decor to your home.

Close up of Valentine's Day Coffee Bar
You may also recognize that gum ball machine on top! I refreshed one from Target last year with some spray paint to make it more my style and now it matches perfectly with my Valentine’s Day decor!

Another cheap and easy thing I like to add are some fun paper straws. I added some pink ones in my mugs and again, this pastel pink color can easily flow into Spring decor too.

I try to be resourceful when picking out my decor and I like for things to be able to last through different seasons and/or holidays.

25 off plus free mug

Tiered Trays

Another thing I love to style for every season are my tiered trays! They are also a lot of fun to decorate and I like being able to add little touches of whatever season I want to display to them.

You can keep the overall look of your tiered tray from season to season too. Just add in a few Valentine’s Day decor touches and you’re all set!

Valentine's Day Coffee Bar Tiered Tray

You can see below how I just added in a few touches to make this tiered tray appear more Valentine’s Day related.

Like the felt hearts in the ironstone bowl. And the little heart sign and bowls as well.

Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray
Close up of Kitchen Valentine's Day Tiered Tray

And again down here on this tiered tray, I added in both old and new pieces too. I think the star of the show on this one is the vintage cookie cutter box!

I just love the old graphics to it!

Tablescape

I always enjoy switching up my table decor for every season and I am loving my Valentine’s themed tablescape. I honestly want to leave it out after Valentine’s Day because it just gives me all the cozy, romantic vibes!

Valentine's Day Tablescape

If you remember my last year and how I made a simple paper heart banner, I had some leftover paper hearts already cut out and I decided to use them for my tablescape.

The paper hearts are a perfect, romantic addition to the place settings and centerpiece.

Valentine's Day Tablescape

I am loving the light blush touches it gives to my table. And plus, I plan on using this same tablescape throughout the spring as well, minus the hearts.

I think the blush color is very versatile! 

Valentine's Day Tablescape

As usual, I am using my vintage ironstone dishes and saucers for this tablescape. I just love how dainty they are. But, I added something new this year to my Valentine’s Day table decor.

You know my love for Antique Candle Co, and I love the fact that they pour their candles into vintage dishes as well. So throughout the past year, I have been collecting vintage pink depression glasses from them.

Valentine's Day Centerpiece

I thought it would look perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also throughout the spring as well! The soft pink color is just so beautiful!

Valentine’s Mug Cubby

I have an unhealthy obsession with coffee mugs so I obviously need several spaces throughout my kitchen and dining room to display them! And this mug cubby is one of my favorites!

It fits several of my Rae Dunn mugs in it perfectly and I like being able to have another space besides my coffee bar to display all of my seasonal mugs in.

Valentine's Day Mug Cubby

I also stuck with the Valentine’s theme here and I even added some extra little hearts for more of a Valentine’s Day touch.

These hearts were actually strung together in a banner that I got from the Target Dollar Spot last year, but they broke apart on me. Not wanting to throw these cute little hearts away, I was determined to find a good use for them.

Luckily, they had a little clothespin attached to the back so I thought it would be perfect to clip them on my mugs to give them a cute little red and pink pop of color!

I also added some greenery here as well to break apart the mugs.

Vintage Valentine Day Cards

You know I love all things vintage. So I love to display some of my vintage valentine’s day cards in creative ways. For example, I created a vintage Valentines banner to hang on my hutch.

Easy Vintage Valentine's Day Banner

I also love to display them on my open shelves in the dining room as well. I found a few vintage inspired valentines from Hobby Lobby and mixed them with some real ones as well.

You can even tell the difference from the newer cards and the older ones!

Valentine's Day Open Shelving

Another easy idea for vintage Valentine’s Day decor, is to just place one on a flower frog. I did that in my office and on the shelves you see above.

I have several flower frogs and use them all the time to display old cards like this throughout the different seasons.

Conclusion

Well, I hope after you see these spaces of mine that I have fixed up for Valentine’s Day, that it inspires you to do a little something to your home as well!

I mainly just decorated my kitchen and dining room area for Valentine’s, but there are so many other ideas that you could do around your home too.

Valentine's Day Dining Room

Like a simple little banner hanging across your mantel, or a cute accent pillow in your bedroom. Have a Valentine’s themed candle burning in your living room or a blush colored throw draped across your sofa.

As you can see the possibilities are endless and you can find so many easy ways to add in a little Valentine’s without overdoing it.

Neutral Valentine's Day Decor
I also added a little neutral touch of Valentine’s Day on my entryway table by adding in these cute and simple wooden hearts in my lantern.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day this year! And tell me below if you normally decorate a little for Valentine’s Day or not too!

    Ooooh! Tiered trays! I have an old low bureau that serves as a coffee table and it gets changed up regularly… different seasonal table runners, knick knacks and plants, mugs and baskets. A tiered tray would be fun. My other fun thing… and I love some of the little things that say love you, etc – is to tuck those little things in surprise places for my kids to see… Like small plaque inside the medicine cabinet when they get out the toothpaste, or on their night stands, or in the fridge.

    Valentine’s day sure is a short holiday, but it’s still a beautiful day to celebrate love in general. And now that I went back to the dating game and found the sweetest man I’ve ever met after a very bad heartbreak two years ago, I have every reason to celebrate it❤️Starting with presents and my appartment!

I found these adorable vintage thermoses and loved them as-is… but then I had the idea to give them a spooky-cute Jack-o’-lantern makeover for Halloween! 🎃

All I did was pull out my @cricut and cut a simple Jack-o’-lantern face from removable vinyl. Now I have two decorations in one! Display the plain side for your cozy fall decor, then simply turn them around when it’s time for Halloween decorating. It’s such an easy way to get more use out of your vintage finds!

This is one of my favorite easy Cricut Halloween DIYs because it takes just a few minutes, costs almost nothing, and gives thrifted decor a fun seasonal twist. If you love vintage Halloween decor, thrift flips, and budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas, you have to try this one! Comment “Halloween” below and I’ll send you all the details!

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window too? 🐈

For a more casual beachfront dinner, @bummzbeachcafe is another one of our go-to spots. Great food, ocean views, and the perfect laid-back beach vibes.

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!
