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...]
The Booth for Spring!

Hi there, friends! I hope you enjoyed a great weekend - we had wonderful weather here, so I was on a spring cleaning binge. I was hoping to tackle my front porch but we're still getting lots of pollen here so it's not quite time. 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...]

April 13, 2016 by · 3 Comments
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...]

Oh my word, December is FLYING by, isn't it?

Well, here we are! The last day of August... how did that happen??

New Furniture Project: Two Tone Buffet-Secretary
August 10, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
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...]
In Case You Missed It (November)
December 1, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]
Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)
November 28, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hello there!! Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday? Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-) And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!). We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]
