Happy Thursday, amazing Friends!! I might be sitting back relaxing on a beach somewhere today, but I wouldn't miss giving you your biweekly dose of creative inspiration! I pulled this project out of my archives because it is THE perfect Mother's Day gift! That is if she has an outdoor space. Several years ago I bought a cute teapot garden feature at a craft market. I shared a photo of it as part of my Front Yard Garden Tour that year, and had countless requests for the tutorial. After … [Read more...]

April 12, 2018 by 55 Comments
Happy Thursday, lovely friends! Today I have a quick little makeover for y'all. A few months ago my favorite thrift store near my house had two small rocking chairs for only $5 each. I always pick up children's rockers when I see them because they always sell quickly. I shared the first one back in January. You can see that one HERE. I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I love. Today I'm sharing chair #2: I gave it one coat of DIY chalk paint (Recipe … [Read more...]

April 5, 2018 by 36 Comments
I think my favorite thing in the whole world is repurposing things, how about you? Amazing friends, today I am sharing how I gave this $10 thrift store spindle headboard a whole new purpose: I always have a hard time passing up a good deal on a perfectly good twin headboard, and one that has spindles?

French Provincial Dressing Table Redo
March 29, 2018 by 16 Comments
Happy Thursday, awesome friends! Today I'm sharing a dressing table that I originally painted way back in 2013. It was in our old master bedroom, but no longer has a home here at our new house. I decided to freshen it up a bit and send it to the shop, but first I took some pretty new photos to reshare it! Here it is before: I know it looks pretty here, but in person it just felt dated. I love pretty much anything French provincial though! I found it at an estate sale where … [Read more...]
