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!
April 18, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
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...]
My Booth for Christmas

Oh my word, December is FLYING by, isn't it? I'm scurrying around this week, working on Legacy, finishing up my decorating, and trying to get some packages shipped off, my Christmas cards are mocking me from the kitchen table... bet your list looks the same!! I meant to get this post up over the weekend, but we were at the lake for my hub's birthday and there wasn't a whole lotta anything that got done... other than eating, making merry, and … [Read more...]

Hi there, gang... another busy week, of course and I know we're all feeling that slide toward the holidays beginning! I, for one, am finding myself READY to embrace all the joy the holidays bring! The Queen of Hearts Antiques where my booth is located is hosting our annual Holiday Open House so I was busy readying my space this week.

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...]

Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!? Happy Friday, y'all! Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta. What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor. Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company. If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website. … [Read more...]
A Peek at My Booth…
November 5, 2014 by · 7 Comments
Hi everyone! I hope you all took the time to get out and VOTE yesterday! Here in ATL, our schools were closed for the day so I got a bonus day at home to get some things done after voting... and if you follow me on Instagram, you saw I ended up shoe shopping, too. Oops. ;-) #sorrynotsorry I ended up with some to. die. for. smokey taupe wedges. Thank goodness for a BFF that was available by text to seal the deal. :) And how did we ever shop … [Read more...]
