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...]

TGIF, friends! This week has kicked my hiney, with the time change and my work load! I'm ready to SLEEP IN a bit this weekend if I can.

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.

Hey there! My heat has been restored and of course it's been 70 degrees the last couple of days... but we're due for another cold blast, so at least I'll be in comfort this time around. :) I thought it would be fun over the next few weeks to share some of the trends in decor I'm seeing online and in print... some of these might be holdovers from 2016, but they're still going strong in interiors, so it's not too late to jump on the … [Read more...]

School Desk Makeover
June 15, 2016 by · 5 Comments
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...]

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.

She was painted just a creamy white, but I decided to up her fun factor with some Farmhouse Paint in … [Read more...]

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!!

I used Farmhouse Paint in Cotton White... it's a nice crisp white. Not too … [Read more...]

Good Thursday to you, friends! Popping back in today with a couple of painting projects I've been working on this week. The weather has been perfect to get a few things done so that's been my focus.
