Lovely friends, welcome back! I am working my way through thrifty haul #2 and the next item on the chopping block is this tufted footstool I scored for only $12: What a bargain! I fell in love with the legs and the bow front on this beauty right away, and it was so super soft and comfy. That's where the love affair ended though because the rest was crying SOS. When I first saw it I actually thought I might just buy it for the legs and maybe I could use them on something else. But after … [Read more...]

We are so fortunate that our area sustained very little damage as compared to many others who weren't so … [Read more...]

Clearly someone had lovingly restored it, so I decided it was worth the hundred bucks. Except … [Read more...]
