Hey there, friends... I had every intention of posting more guest room progress this week, but... Ah the joys of high school sports! Your weekday evenings are not your own. :) Truthfully, though, it's been a blast watching him work so hard, improve his skills, have some fun and finish their season undefeated (My boy scored the final goal!). And not only do we have a team of good players (REALLY good players), we also have a … [Read more...]
Happy Monday & Guest Room Progress

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to work I go...Time sure flies when you're having fun and I did enjoy myself over Spring Break last week. I want to thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers as we marked one year since losing Kaely. I'm not going to lie, I was very emotional this weekend. I still wrestle with fear every time my own children walk out the door. I want to put them all in a bubble where they'll be forever safe from the choices … [Read more...]
For Kaely…

Guest Room Update and a Spring Break Recap
April 12, 2013 by · 7 Comments
I always underestimate the amount of time it takes to paint a room! I tend to conveniently forget how much time it takes to spackle holes, sand rough places, touch up and/or tape off trim... you know -- the prep work. Ugh. And let's just say that prepping what was a formerly teenage space for painting is no picnic. I won't get into details, but let's just say evidence of pocket knife abuse was discovered, along with an overloaded wall shelf … [Read more...]
A New Before & After: Armoire Makeover
April 10, 2013 by · 12 Comments
Happy hump day! I'm in the midst of the painting of my guest room today (woo hoo!) but I have a fun makeover to share with you. I scored this armoire from a friend and though I loved the lines and details, the finish was in seriously sad shape. I used wood putty to fill out some deep gauges and then tackled her with some Annie Sloan Versailles. Two coats later, with a little wet rag distressing and a coat of clear wax... here she … [Read more...]

Happy Monday, everyone! Spring finally sprung over the weekend and I've been a busy bee around here! The fun has begun on the guest room (woo hoo) and I got my garage a little more organized over the weekend (thank goodness!).

Since there's so much in progress … [Read more...]
New Project Alert: The Guest Room
April 5, 2013 by · 10 Comments
Today I'm headed to Athens to see my daughter, but I owe you a new project announcement, right? I love new projects. And I'm so happy to have Spring Break next week to jump start this one! I can't believe I'm showing you this sad sad space. Let me explain before you start hating on me! This used to be my older son's room. Last summer, he moved into my daughter's (much larger) old room after SHE decided to move downstairs into my … [Read more...]

I had so much fun hosting my Happy Birthday Giveaway! Y'all have some amazing projects on your To Do Lists and now I don't feel quite so bad about my own! I intended to have a furniture makeover for y'all today, but we're now having to make up all those high school soccer games that got rained out last month, so I'm spending time in the bleachers instead of finishing my project. Sorry, darling... I know you're a work in progress, but I … [Read more...]
