So many days I’m thrifting, repurposing, refinishing, and diy-ing that I don’t get much of an opportunity to look at the many great products out on the market today. It’s good for me to do this every once in awhile to gain inspiration for myself and for me to work on my “design” skills. As [...]
I’m not sure how many of you knew this, but a lot of the things I’ve learned about houses is because I have a pretty fantastic Father-in-Law, Al.

Can I just start by saying, I’ve missed all of you!!! I was supposed to be on an extended social media break, but I couldn’t entirely break away. The break overall was nice, but I’m glad to be back. Anyhow, I’m excited to share quick and easy dresser makeover with you today ~ one that [...]
Hi everyone! I hope your Valentine’s Day was great whatever you did. We had a fun family night going on a treasure hunt, making homemade heart-shaped pizzas (which is super fast and yummy!), and watching a movie. My hubby even got me a beautiful bouquet: Yes, he knows me well! Lol ~~~~~~~~~~ [...]
Just as promised I have a before and after post for you today, and one I’m pretty excited about because it’s a keeper! You’ve heard me talking a lot about finishing up our office this month, and this desk is a big part of that ~ so you’re seeing a little sneak peek of the [...]

Usually when you’re considering a room makeover, what’s the first thing you’re going to do? Ok, maybe you thought Pinterest {and rightly so}, but in the larger picture, most people are going to search online for ideas that they like. As we are working on our office this month, I was a bit surprised when [...]
Happy 2013 everyone!!! Are you just as excited for 2013 as I am??? Seriously, I can’t tell you HOW excited I am. I have some great news to share very soon ~ more on that to come! Overall, it was a great start to my year and I’m definitely feeling the immediate effects of [...]
One thing I love about HGTV’s Magazine is that all the colors featured can be found in one easy-to-scan location at the very end of the magazine. It looks like this: They make it SO easy to find where the color is in the magazine AND the product number so you can locate the [...]
Ok, so I am admittedly glad that October is over, because I absolutely LOVE November and December. Ha! Don’t hate. If you missed this post from last week, would you believe that I earned myself $6?! Seriously… I have NO idea what in the world is so motivating about sticking a $1 bill in a [...]
