Old Framed Picture Turned Jewelry Organizer

Lately, the top of my dresser has been hiding… …under my jewelry! Seriously. It was getting out of control. I just didn’t have any place to put it all, so I knew it was time to figure this out. I wish I had taken a picture of it so you could see just how bad […]

DIY Giant Rustic Chalkboard

My son’s room could be the slowest makeover in the history of makeovers. How long have I been talking about this?! Pretty sure we’re onto years now. Every time I get on a roll, I get sidetracked and move onto something else. Not that I don’t want to work on his room, but when I […]

Front Door Makeover…HELP!

Once upon a time, our front door was a beautiful, bright red. It looked great against our half brick, half blue-grey siding house. Navy shutters, some white trim. It worked. Fast forward some years, and that red…well, she ain’t so red anymore. You can see in this shot just how faded and pink it’s become […]

The Other Side

You knew this post was coming, didn’t you? The K word. Kindergarten. As in: MY BABY STARTED KINDERGARTEN. And around here, Kindergarten is no joke. Full day, every day. Which means my three kiddos depart at 9am and don’t get home until 4:15pm. And I never ever, in a million, kajillion years thought I’d say […]

How I Got Four ‘New’ Accent Tables for $39

Remember when it was THE thing to have your furniture match perfectly? (Totally not dissing those who love matching furniture by the way, simply stating that it’s not the only way to go now, and a lot of people like the eclectic, collected over time look. Got nothin’ but love for all y’all. The End). […]

My apologies

I’ve got so many projects in my head right now I can’t sleep at night. Not kidding. It keeps me up, I toss and turn. I cannot even wait to start them all. But it’s August now, and it’s a bittersweet month. School starts up at the end of this month, and for the first […]
