A Big Day
Today is a big day for me and my blog, but before I tell you why, I want to share what some of my blog friends are up to and how you can get involved in the fun. There is an upcoming party event that will be taking place next month. It is a Gorilla […]
Dresser Transformation
What do you do with a dresser that has drawers beyond repair? You take them out and replace them with a couple of shelves, of course…or at least you have your husband do that and then you paint it. The construction of these drawers were ok, but the veneer was in terrible condition. It was […]
Busy, Busy Girl
I just primed five pieces of furniture, sanded three doors, installed some hardware, glazed a chair…and the list goes on and on. It’s nuts, my finger nails look dirty 24/7, and I’m tired.

My hubby gave me a wonderful gift yesterday – the afternoon off. This meant that he took care of the house and the kids and I could do whatever I wanted. So, I took an hour nap…glorious! And then I got down to business. I did an amazing amount of work in the time that was […]
One of my favorites…
It was my very first time ever at an auction and I really didn’t know what to expect. I was nervous about raising my number to bid. I didn’t fully understand what the auctioneer was saying. I was trying to work two rooms at one time. It was overwhelming. By the end of the night, […]
