Today is the second month in our three month decorating challenge!!! The challenge is that we all decorate the same space in our home for three months using only things we already own. Decorating my home isn't as easy for me as making over furniture. Some people just have that knack, but I have to work at it a bit. I'm the type that decorates it once, and then it doesn't change for the next five years. So I was glad that this challenge really made me think, and it didn't even cost me a ... VIEW POST
How to Shop Your Home (Part 2 of Our Decorating Challenge)
25 Shades of Blue
Well we all know that 50 Shades of Grey is taking theaters by storm. Since that is not really what my blog is about (ain't nobody want to see that!), I'm doing my own spin with 25 Shades of Blue. If you follow my blog, you know that I am obsessed with two things: furniture makeovers and different shades of the color blue. I have it everywhere. It's the color on my walls, my Christmas ornaments, my chandelier, my furniture pieces, and so on. When I first started my furniture booth, I went ... VIEW POST
Classic Update on a Vintage Chair
A few weeks back, my parents were at an estate sale and picked-up this little guy for me. I loved the shape, but the green velvet simply had to go. Since I am not one who sews, reupholstering that cushion was not going to happen, so I knew I had to make it over with paint. ... VIEW POST
Valentine’s Day Vignette
Things have been a bit more chaotic around here than usual. I just finished up a desk for a client and have been working on a giant china hutch. Topher had been out of town for a few days, and I've been doing a bit of redecorating upstairs and downstairs. I realized I hadn't shown you my little Valentine's Day vignette I a did a few weeks back, and since V-Day is on Saturday, I figure it's now or never. I'm trying to stick with my plan of not spending money on my decor this year and using ... VIEW POST
How to Make a French Image Transfer
Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had the beautiful weather we had! I got so much spray-painting finished and even took some photos outside ... even though everything is dead. We watched This is Where I Leave You which was really good. Our new carpet in the basement was installed, is incredibly gushy, and Gracie our pup keeps rolling all over it, so even she knows it's a lot better. We then had to carry all of the furniture back down and reassemble everything, which took a lot of time. ... VIEW POST
5 Ways to Stop Shopping in the New Year
I mentioned a few weeks ago how we were determined to get rid of our credit card debt ASAP, and I showed you How We Save $749 a Year By Cutting Out Cable and Still Get to Watch the Shows We Love. My next step was to figure out how to stop shopping. I am the one in our household that buys for myself, my hubby, the unnamed child, the pets, and our home. By cutting down these expenses, to only the necessities, I knew it would help get things back on track. 1. Stay Home. When I ... VIEW POST
Rustic Heart Wall Art (10 Days of Valentines)
What's Valentine's Day like for you and your sweetheart? Are there big elaborate gifts? Or fancy dinners out? For my hubby and I, the days of waiting 2 hours to get a table, or spending $100 on some roses that will die in a week are a thing of the past. For us, Valentine's day is usually spent at home. I'm sure you're thinking how boring can you be? One of us will make dinner for the other (a little fancier than our normal cuisine), and we do a small gift exchange, then settle down to ... VIEW POST
