Spring at Magnolia Hollow

Latest Work /

As you may remember, last fall I shared the grand opening of Magnolia Hollow! Today, I’m excited to show you what springtime at the shop looks like! I selected a soft yet sophisticated pastel palette to inspire the decor, and you’ll find spring motifs like flowers, rabbits and eggs throughout.

Many of the items in Magnolia Hollow are spring versions of the fall products (i.e. new candle and soap scents, plus spring-themed napkin rings, signs and greeting cards, etc.), but I added some new pieces for the season, as you’ll soon see below.

Let’s check it out!

One of my new products for spring are these adorable shopping totes! I made them using the method in my tutorial here.

I also really like all the beaded wood trays that are on trend right now, so I decided to make mini versions!

Since spring is so often associated with gardening, I thought it was only right to include some outdoor decor, as well! So I created some “stone” rabbit decorations for the garden, along with a wellies planter full of daffodils.

I incorporated needle felting (another one of my hobbies) by making some little wool felted carrots for decorations! I love how they turned out.

My favorite addition for spring, by far, is this display of seasonal-inspired aprons and matching oven mitts, pot holders and rolling pins. I used two wooden shutters connected with a hinge to make the stand. And now I’m absolutely obsessed with these matching kitchen accessories!

The Bathroom

Latest Work /

Much like my farmhouse-inspired laundry room, this bathroom roombox started with a Pinterest board and a vision of a neutral, soothing space to relax and unwind. I began work on this over a year ago, and it sat unfinished save for a few details. Sometimes, when inspiration isn’t coming, I walk away from a project for a while before going back to it with a new sense of direction. That’s definitely what happened here, and I’m so glad I finally got around to finishing it!

I made most of the details myself, but I have a list of other resources at the bottom of the post if you are looking for certain supplies.

Let’s take a tour, shall we?

Midnight at the Mausoleum

Latest Work /

It was a dark and stormy night… Well, actually, it was a day in late September, and one of the most dangerous storms in recent history was headed our way. In an effort to keep myself busy and somewhat distracted from Hurricane Ian barreling towards us, I decided that my ghost girl (purchased earlier this year from artist, author and musician Slade Templeton) needed a place to haunt. I had purchased the metal cemetery tray from Michaels when their Halloween merch first arrived in hopes of eventually making a graveyard scene. It seemed my ghost girl was destined to haunt a graveyard, and so Midnight at the Mausoleum was born. In a haze of hurricane-induced anxiety (we were beyond fortunate to avoid damage, just lots of rain and wind), I scratch built the entire mausoleum in a day and a half and then proceeded to create the rest of the scene around it.

I created everything, with the exception of the shovel, the tray itself, and the ghost, from scratch. For the stained glass windows, I used Gallery Glass paint on acetate. Flickering lights inside the mausoleum added a lot to the overall ambiance and highlighted the dirty, dusty windows in a creepy way.

The tree is a wire armature covered with paper clay. The ravens are sculpted from polymer clay, then flocked and feathered. The mausoleum and headstones are all made from foamcore. I used an assortment of products from Woodland Scenics and AK Interactive for the terrain and weathering effects, respectively.

I really hope you enjoy my spooky little scene! Don’t miss the video below – and be sure to turn the volume up, because the sound effects and music are half the fun!
