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 […]
Fabric Wall Treatment
Today was a jam-packed DIY filled day and I have pretty pictures to show for it… I got my fabric yesterday and I couldn’t wait to play with it…well, work with it. It is my job after all. This project was something I wanted to do anyway, but it was for an HGTV.com […]

Boy, oh boy. You girls know how to make my heart go pitter-patter. Some of the entries from last week… my goodness.
