Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

I’m not a scrooge when it comes to Valentine’s Day, but to me, it’s just overpriced flowers and way too much candy for the kids.  We make a point not to go out to dinner and we don’t exchange gifts or anything.  It did happen to my husband’s day off work, so we spent it […]

managing crazy

I have been asked a few times lately how I manage everything on my plate, so I thought I would share.  Before I dive into it, I know that everyone is busy.  I don’t have some overly-busy-I’m-super-important-all-the-time kind of view of my schedule or to-do list.  A lot of my busy comes from the fact […]

blue & white fabric for under $10

painting, planking & other things

I’ve been a busy girl the past couple of days, which is why I’ve been quiet on my blog.  Yesterday, I made a cord cover for the chandelier over my vanity in the master bedroom…    I just used scraps from the fabric feature wall.  It’s a small thing that really finishes off the room. […]

Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

I was looking through the links from last week and I had the urge to look for French chairs and Empire dressers on craigslist.  I surfed around and found a pretty Empire dresser for a good price about an hour away.  I was asking my husband about the distance for pickup and he leaned into […]
