Hello beautiful friends! Does it feel like Spring in your neck of the woods yet? There's a rumor that it's going to reach 70 here tomorrow. It was 39 at the bus stop this morning so while I'm not holding my breath, I am hopeful Spring is on its way! It looks like it inside here already either way. If you're new here, welcome! You will see I love to decorate with as little mula as possible, and that means lots of thrifting, repurposing, and upcycling around here! I last shared my living room … [Read more...]
Thrift Store Inbox Makeover
January 18, 2018 by 59 Comments
Hello awesome Friends! On Tuesday I shared a peek at today's project. Apparently there are a lot of these floating around out there because several of you mentioned you had one too! I'm talking about this wooden inbox I scored at the thrift store for $2.25 several months ago: Anything that is made of wood catches my eye when I'm thrifting since I know paint can work wonders, and as soon as I saw this on the shelf, I knew just what it could be. Painting it and adding handles turned … [Read more...]

Sewing Table Redo
November 21, 2017 by 32 Comments
The awesome thing about painting furniture white is that if you ever tire of it, it is a great base for so many other colors. Today, amazing friends, I thought I would share one of the pieces I used to have in our old house that I no longer have room for in our new house. And yep I painted it...again! This is what this pretty little table looked like when I originally found it at a yard sale for $20 several years ago: It had pretty details but was showing some wear, especially on … [Read more...]
Outdoor Halloween Tour 2017
October 31, 2017 by 44 Comments
Hello Friends! Happy Halloween and welcome to my outdoor Halloween tour! If you have been following me for a while, you know that we love some Halloween around here. We were undecided whether we were going to decorate the new house this year, especially since we have way more important projects on our to-do list than decorating for Halloween. However the kids in us got all giddy when we started going through the Halloween containers and that was that! Before I start the tour, I want to let … [Read more...]

Hello sweet friends! There's a lot going on around the new house lately, but the most exciting thing that happened is that I got the garage organized!!

I mean especially when the last time you visited, it looked like this: It was probably the star of my Hot Mess Tour (see it HERE if you missed … [Read more...]
