Fall Wreath

September 18, 2014 · 1 Comment

Wreath making and floral arranging has been a long time hobby.   My goal is for them to look as real as possible.

This Natural Fall Wreath will look great hanging anywhere inside your home or on your front door.

I am really excited to share how easy it is to make and cost less than ten dollars!

First you will want to gather some items from your yard. Then you may need to purchase some greenery,moss, burlap ribbon, small pumpkin and whatever you like from a craft store. Be creative and use what appeals to you and your taste.  You will also need a glue gun.

Now your ready.

I gathered four branches from my yard.  You will want these to be as straight as possible.  Mine was about 1.5 inches in diameter.  You could go bigger.

Glue the four corners together… anyway you can.

Now add moss to cover all corners and up the sides.

Start adding greenery by glueing it in piece by piece.   I placed the pumpkin last.

I also added burlap ribbon to the back that I had on hand.

Once everything was glued in place I went back and added moss over places to hide glue and to give it another layer of depth.

Mine is hanging by my back door! If you make one follow @upcountryliving on Instagram and use #upcountryliving to share it with me.

P.S.- I have plans to improve my photography skills.

Thanks for reading,

What Inspires Me…

September 6, 2014 · 1 Comment

One of the many things I want to do here on my blog is share what inspires me.

So this is the first post of what I hope to bring you weekly.  This home caught my eye a while back.  I love that most of it is new, but looks like it has been there forever. GG0510_Architecture_01

This home was built and designed by Historical Concepts.  One day maybe they can redesign my home!

It is located in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

The way it fits into its surroundings is perfection. Even though it is high-end, it looks comfortable. …and the interior is to die for!

I also love that the white walls make the furniture look like art.

I love that all the walls and ceiling are covered in wood.  I know that it is all the rage these days, but this is a timeless elementfbd021091e92befbc65072adefc09a5533c2545f
