You know how much I like cheap thrift items! Well, one of my second favorite things to hunt for is stuff I already have around my house! This poor planter was at our old house holding a dead plant. I brought it over to our new house and considered painting it black. A better idea […]
You may have realized I have a love for all things “chalkboard.” Once upon a time, I painted our refrigerator in chalkboard paint. Remember that Craigslist dresser? Well, the great thing about its $40 price tag was that it also included a mirror! It seems like for forever that I have wanted to make a […]
How about we pretend that I didn’t show you a yellow and purple craft room that I wanted to redo for the One Room Challenge. I do have plans, I promise. It’s just that Cray’s birthday is in two weeks and my head is spinning with thoughts of that and getting the deck ready and […]
I have been so excited to show you this but so hesitant to show you pictures because it’s still not perfect. Then, I remembered that none of this is about perfection so I’m hopeful you’ll forgive the imperfection and appreciate the progress. So if you decide to scroll down, you’re not allowed to judge, okay? […]

I was visiting this sweet blog last week and came across this incredible challenge to makeover ONE ROOM in six weeks! I was so torn because I really wanted to redo my deck for Cray’s upcoming party but that’s in two weeks not six weeks. However, here’s my key: I want to use as many […]
Last summer, I actually LEFT the thrift store after finding this gem. Meaning, I left without buying it! But, it was one of those things that I couldn’t stop thinking about. I called Russ. I called my mom. I sent this picture. And later that day, I went back and got it. I just knew […]
First of all, I was SO honored and amazed to be featured today over at Road Kill Rescue with our Yoga Mat Turned Kitchen Runner. You have got to go check out her amazing blog! She has so many ideas and treasures! This weekend, we finally accomplished a tad bit around the house! There’s something […]
My friend, Tammy, uses polka dots so well. She makes them look neutral, cute, and pretty all at the same time! One day, digging for something in the “linens trunk,” I saw a pretty fuzzy polka dot blanket and a light bulb went off! Just earlier that day, we were putting some items away and […]
