Hello lovelies!! I have a quick makeover for ya'll today! Can I tell you how excited I am to dive back into painting? Now that our kitchen is complete and our landscaping is done, AND the cooler weather is on the way. (I hope!) Today I'm sharing the simple makeover of this high chair I picked up for $5 at the thrift store at the beginning of the Summer: It was really dirty, almost like it had been stored in a barn or shed for about 50 years. I just loved it though and had to bring … [Read more...]

China Cabinet Refresh
August 16, 2018 by 30 Comments
Hello amazing friends! I was SO hoping to share our big kitchen reveal today. I got all my photos taken and edited yesterday, and then I sat down to write my post, and NO internet connection! Several neighbors have been complaining about our Internet provider and losing their service over the past week or so, but it hadn’t affected us…until now. Terrible timing! Grrrr! I couldn’t leave y’all hanging today, so thanks to my cell phone, I was able to pull an old favorite from my archives to … [Read more...]

Patio Set Refresh
June 19, 2018 by 62 Comments
Hello sweet Friends!! I am excited today to share some of the progress we've made out back! You may remember me mentioning that I still had the loveseat to my outdoor patio set when I shared the two side chairs that went with it in this post. I redid those for our side porch and was debating whether or not to redo the loveseat to go along with them out there. However the truth is, we rarely sit out on our side porch, so I hated to waste it out there when we really needed seating for our deck … [Read more...]
Kids’ Table and Chairs Makeover
June 7, 2018 by 42 Comments
Amazing Friends, I finally finished the little table and chair set I brought home from my booth to redo! That set has been in my booth for well over a year and I just could not figure out why it hadn't sold. Here it is as I found it: I found the chairs for only $5 for the pair at one thrift store, then a few months later, I found the table to complete the set at another. Lucky, huh? Here is a peek at their first redo: You can see the whole first makeover HERE. I just loved … [Read more...]

Hello beautiful friends! Have you ever passed on a chair because it had a damaged seat? Well today I am getting together with my Furniture Fixer Upper girls to share furniture flips, and I have one such chair to share! I picked this up at the thrift store last week at the bargain discount price of $6.98: A busted cane seat might be a deal breaker for most, but I have been down this road before and knew I could make it functional again.

Booth Update
May 10, 2018 by 22 Comments
Hello beautiful friends! The last time I took ya'll on a trip to my booth was back in August, so I figured it was time for another visit! How does that sound? But first, I wanted to let ya'll know that my Mom loved her new necklace organizer! I had planned to take it to her early Tuesday morning, hopefully before she saw my post, but I was too late...she saw it on my blog. She texted me that she loved it ha ha. See it HERE if you missed it... it was a real trash-to-treasure project! If you … [Read more...]
