COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

As I mentioned yesterday, my family visited Nashville for the first time this past weekend. We had so much fun showing them our favorite locals spots, but we wanted them to also get to see the tourist attractions. One of the big stops we made was to the Country Music Hall of Fame. I really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did! It was full of beautiful, rare antiques and awesome Hatch Show Prints. 

Here are some Instagram pictures I took while we were there:

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

Yep, I'm the big 2-4 today! Last night, Wes surprised me with this pretty setup that included gift cards to 2 of my favorite stores (Anthropologie and West Elm)!

Isn't that sweet?

And last weekend, my parents drove down and visited, which is the best present ever! We had so much fun! I'll post photos of everything we did tomorrow.

Have a great day, even if it's not your birthday! xo

VINTAGE SODA CRATES

Vintage crates are one of the not-so-rare vintage items out there. It seems like every vintage or antique store you go to has a ton of them! A lot of people like their look (they come in all sorts of fun, faded colors!), but they aren't sure what to do with a big crate in their house. Here's what I did with ours:

I used our Coke crate that we found at an antique store to organize my craft supplies. The little dividers in it make it perfect for organizing! 

There are tons of other uses for these little guys though!

Here are some ways that other people have used vintage crates in their homes:

OUR WORKSPACE

Last weekend, my handy hubby took a trip to Home Depot and made this awesome free standing desk for our little apartment! It's so nice to have a big place to work on things! 

Here's what we were using before:

And here it is now!

Here's a picture of our DIY desk from the side:

I hope everyone had a great week!
My family is visiting Nashville for the first time tomorrow, and I'm so excited to see them and show them the town!

Here are my favorite links from around the web this week:
