Dirt Road Adventures – Happy Easter

Happy Easter Friends! I’m so glad you took a break from all the Easter Festivities to stop by today.

Do you have annual Easter Traditions?

We almost always spend Easter at the Beach.

Some years we freeze and some we get to soak up the sun.

Regardless, it’s always the start of our beach season.

This year we have been basking in our newly remodeled cottage. We are still amazed at how different everything looks.

If you missed the Tiny Beach Cottage Makeover Before and After, you can still see it here.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

We’ve been at the beach cottage since Wednesday and I’ve enjoyed a little thrifting and dining out when we first arrived.

Once the crowds rolled in, we stick a little closer to home.

Do you remember the projects I shared last Sunday? Well, I finished a few of the trending projects and wanted to give you an update.

First, is the basket and cloche trend which I’m using at the beach cottage. I found this cute wooden sea turtle while out Thrifting with the Gals and he looks perfect under the cloche.

I finished the $1.00 Thrift Store lamp makeover using the paper napkins that I shared with you last Sunday. If you love the blue and white distressed porcelain vase trend, you will love how this lamp turned out. See all the details here.

It was so sweet of Mary at Life at Bella Terra to feature this project on her weekly, Saturday Meanderings.

I’ll be sharing a few more DIY Trending Projects this week, so stay tuned.

Adventures off the Dirt Road

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

Each week, there are so many wonderful blog posts, 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

There’s time for one more Easter idea! Am I right?

I loved Amber’s idea of an Easter Bunny in the Tulips. It’s such a cute Easter display for the garden.

Check out Stacy’s Front Entry Makeover! You will not believe how it looks now.

What a great upcycle idea! See Jen’s Spring DIY Upcycled Chair Planter idea.

What’s in my Cart

What great hostess gift ideas. See all of Antique Candle Co.’s candles here.

I ordered my husband these super comfortable shoes.

I’m thinking about this cloche.

I just got these white jeans and I LOVE THEM!

Sweet Nights Global is still offering this extra 5% discount code: RHARPER for their Easter Sale. Rudy and I love sleeping on this mattress.
