Whew, TGIF! Busy times around here and I'm looking forward to a football weekend with our Auburn peeps. The sun is FINALLY out today so I'll be working on a paint project (see below!) and finishing up food for our early tailgate tomorrow morning. I thought it was good time to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now before my to-do list gets the best of me! What I'm reading... these two books. I'm usually not that great at … [Read more...]

Hello, friends and Happy first of October! It's beginning to look a bit like fall around here, so I wanted to share my fresh fall mantel with you today. For some reason, I always begin my fall decorating on the mantel and then the rest of the house follows...

Monday again? My weekend just flew by, but it was a good one -- a little poolside time, finishing a good book, furniture painting, movie night with my girl, and last night -- Steely Dan, y'all! It was about 100 degrees outside for the concert, but those guys can still groove! What fun and now it's striving to find some routine and a massive to-do list. :) I'm finally getting around to sharing a furniture makeover I did a couple of weeks … [Read more...]

Before & After: Farmhouse Paint Dresser Makeover
January 23, 2015 by · 5 Comments
Woo hoo! It only took me three weeks to finish a project for 2015, but I have to say this was a good one and something of a test drive at the same time. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw this last weekend -- another driveway sanding session. (My neighbors love me -- and they bring me their cast off furniture pieces when they see me out!). That sweet little solid wood 6 drawer dresser was an unexpected find last November. I was in … [Read more...]

I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities. Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]
