Mapped End Table

Well, I finished the last of the three end tables. And I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE it. I’m obsessed. For real. It’s awesome. And it started out well on its way to being a total FAIL. There were a lot of roadblocks on this one – but I can’t wait to […]

Gallery Wall

Painted Yard Sale Table

My mom recently picked up an end table for me at a yard sale. I couldn’t go gallivanting with her that particular Saturday morning, so she took a chance and snagged it for $30. She knew I needed an end table between our new loveseat and sofa, and thought there was something about it that […]

Girls Craft Night #8: Decorating Pumpkins

Last night I got home after midnight. Had some wine. Indulged in yummy food. Hung out with some awesome girlfriends. Laughed my butt off. And left with a craft. Awesome, right?! I’m telling you, if you like to craft a little, and have some friends that do as well, get together and have a Girls […]
