If you follow me on Instagram, you know I got started on a furniture painting project last week... and wouldn't you know it, I ran out of my clear wax halfway through. I wasn't comfortable switching to a different wax half way though a project. So I had to track down a local Annie Sloan stockist and that was not easy, even here in Atlanta! This turned into one of those "happy accidents" because in finding an Annie Sloan stockist I … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
My Latest Thrifty Finds
Well, it would seem the Atlanta Metro area has learned a lesson. Schools were closed yesterday and today in anticipation of wintry weather yet again.

Spring Mantel Tweaks… I Couldn’t Resist
Howdy hoo, y'all -- another busy week rocking and rolling around here! So far this week we've celebrated two birthdays in my preschool class, Earth Day plus caterpillars (!), and then yesterday a puppet show. I'm whipped by 2pm every day! I'm still working away on the guest room, but I took a few minutes to freshen up my spring mantel since Easter is now behind us... It all started with a quick trip to "Junk Day" at the Woodstock … [Read more...]
It’s the Armoire’s Fault… Among Other Things
Well, you know what they say about the road to you-know-where... I had high hopes in the DIY department. I mean REALLY high hopes. I had a holiday weekend staring me in the face, with the hubs out of town, and DIY supplies galore at my fingertips. And then the armoire sold. This mac daddy armoire in my booth space. And then a couple of hours later, this bench sold... And there were big gaping holes in my booth. So I … [Read more...]
