You know I love me a thrifty yard sale project! Today’s post is no exception – when I saw this table on a local yard sale page, I knew I needed to grab it. In fact, I grabbed two – one is slightly different, and haven’t made that one over yet, but you know I’ll […]

May 17, 2016 by 1 Comment
I think one of my very favorite things is moving furniture around my house and giving it new life somewhere else. It’s so much fun! You might remember during my bedroom makeover post, how I mentioned that the trunk at the foot of our bed just wasn’t vibing with me? This trunk – the one […]

Making a Free Nightstand: The Suitcase Table
April 8, 2016 by 3 Comments
Sharing another glimpse into the ‘so-close-yet-so-far-away’ master bedroom today. We were going full steam, then life seemed to get in the way. Only two more things to do, but they’re kinda big projects. I’m hoping I’ll be writing my big reveal post sometime in the next couple weeks, but we shall see… In the meantime, […]

Sometimes things just have a way of working out. Take this table for instance. My husband has somehow held onto this oak round table from his BACHELOR PAD. (We’re talking decades). It has moved with him many times, and we’ve even tried to sell it! And yet…it still remains. You may have one just like it […]

Sometimes You Need a Change…

Ever have something that once looked awesome, but over time, as things change (and you change!), you feel like it’s just not vibing anymore? That’s what happened to me last week when I was looking in my family room. I had just bought a few new throw pillows for Summer (sharing soon!) and this end […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours! My hope is that you visit this page and feel inspired to do a little “naptime decorating” of your own. Thank you so much for stopping by!
