A little about us

Welcome to Living 511! We are so glad you are here. Just a little about us. Charles and I have been married for 19 years. We share love for historical homes, antiques, and most of all each other. Oh, we love coffee too! In our free time, we enjoy scouring antique stores and flea markets searching for items for our home.

Our faith is the foundation of who we are.   So while you are here at Living 511, we want to share our lives, our home, our faith and our testimony with you but most of all we want to share the love of God and his son Jesus

Love and Prayers, Renee and Charles

Hello Friends! How is your new year going so far?

Hello friends! Well, it has been a while since my last post. At the time I created this wreath, I never intended it to be a tutorial. Honestly, this wreath was created primarily out of the need to make a fresh wreath fast. However, when I posted this picture on Instagram, I received several request to do a tutorial. I decided to create this post so you too can make a simple and easy DIY wreath of your own.
