Hi there, friends and Happy Friday! Back today with a fun new purchase to share -- and it's been a long time coming. :) If you look back on my family room posts from our old house, I made no secret of how disgruntled I was with our big brown sofa. I mean, I was OVER it. First of all, I purchased it back in 2006 when we had all five kids and two dogs at home. It was big and comfortable and would hide all manner of sins (dog hair, … [Read more...]
Before and After: End Table Makeover
March 14, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Greetings, friends! It's been a busy several days with work and our Legacy Benefit Dinner and some fun time with friends, so I am dragging this week! It's been a while since I shared a furniture project, so I thought today was a good day to show you this end table makeover. A friend of mine {practically} gifted this pine end table to me several months ago. It took me a while to decide how I wanted to refresh it so it sat in my garage until … [Read more...]
School Desk Makeover

Hello, friends... before I dive into a new furniture project here, I wanted to pause and send my heartfelt condolences to the Orlando community. We're living in a scary and crazy time where it seems evil lurks at every turn. I'm saddened by the way our leaders and presidential candidates have lurched into finger-pointing and political discussions in the wake of this. Praying diligently for clear heads to prevail and for unity in our approach … [Read more...]

However, it's never too soon to plan so I'll be sharing some inspiration for my spring porch makeover later this week along with some upcoming furniture projects. But today I wanted to share my booth refresh that I … [Read more...]

Hello, friends ~ I didn't mean to be gone so long! The last couple of weeks have been doozies around here, so I've fallen behind on the old blog. But I've missed you and so I'm back. :) Today I'm sharing a recent paint project I completed and popped into my booth. Remember this little desk/dressing table I was working on a while ago? She was painted just a creamy white, but I decided to up her fun factor with some Farmhouse Paint in … [Read more...]
Help Me Decide! Furniture Stenciling Project

Hi friends! I hope you're enjoying a great week... we've got spring creeping in here and I spent most of last weekend knocking out my painting projects. Confession: that bed was a beast!! My back is still stiff from endless crouching and contorting my body to get those posts properly painted. It's amazing how much better it looks, though! Here's the before... I used Farmhouse Paint in Cotton White... it's a nice crisp white. Not too … [Read more...]

If you've been following along, you might already realize that … [Read more...]

Wednesday! We've been in the deep freeze here in Georgia with some snow and ice predicted for later today. It is January after all!

And so now that the family room refresh is under way it's on. I'm on a tight budget but I knew I wanted a small ottoman to accompany these new … [Read more...]

Happy MLK Day, friends... I hope you are off today, snuggled in with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoying yourself! I've been taking advantage of the long weekend in a big way... catching up on Legacy to-do's, working on reorganizing my office, reading, and even sneaking in a nap or two. I'm still kind of low energy after my illness, so I've found I still need a little extra rest. Let's hope it's not habit forming. :) Speaking of when I was … [Read more...]
