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 [...]

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 [...]
Well, I finally got my craft on ~ at least MY version of it. I am admittedly not much of a “crafter”, but I think this counts. Now, this isn’t a full blown tutorial, but if you have some basic wood working skills and a few tools, you could make this too! Here is what [...]
