Hello weekend warriors!! So you think you might want to tackle adding wainscoting to a room, eh? Today I am sharing how I added 48" wainscoting to my guest bathroom.

Hey there, Friends! I love when you stop by!! :) A few weeks ago I shared that my oldest son has decided to start painting a few things to sell in my booth.

April 14, 2016 by
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my farmhouse today! Say what? You know I have nothing even remotely close to a farmhouse, but today as part of this month's Decor Challenge, my Decor Enthusiast Girls and I are sharing our take on ways to add a little farmhouse style our spaces.

DIY Bead Board Tray
March 27, 2016 by
Happy Easter, Friends! Last week when I shared my Romantic Flatware Box Makeover, I mentioned that one thing besides flatware boxes that I can't pass up is a good frame. I have a huge stack of them. Today is March Madness Thrifty Makeover #27 and up for a makeover today is, you guessed it, a frame! I spotted this pair of frames and knew immediately that they would make perfect trays, and trays always sell quickly in my booth. What was even better is that they were only $1.25 each!

Curbside Drawer to Back-to-School Organizer
August 13, 2015 by
Hello Friends! I'm sharing another curbside find turned into something useful (and pretty) today! To be honest, I rarely actually find things curbside, except when I'm yard saling. I pulled up to my very first sale of the day a few weeks ago and spotted a dresser that was smashed to pieces on the curb, along with these perfectly good drawers: The owners were happy to have me haul them away for them! I was thinking at the very least I could salvage the hardware. Then when my insanely … [Read more...]

I also picked up a great console table for $10 at the … [Read more...]
Old Shelf Saved
September 17, 2013 by
I have a fun little makeover to share with you today. This shelf was purchased dusty and neglected for $5. It has a funky top shelf that I imagine held silverware at one time, but would not be very useful today: So I wacked it out and replaced that piece with a regular shelf: Then I gave it a wainscot backing and a coat of Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue chalk paint... I love this color. Much better... now it's functional again. I'm really pleased with how it … [Read more...]
