Making the Most of Every Find
I decided I would elaborate on my bathroom mirror that I posted about yesterday. It came with this vanity that I found at a thrift store for $15.00. It had ugly hardware and a horrible cream on blue crackle finish. I painted it out in Sherwin Williams’ Creme, added glass knobs, and sold it to […]
Bathroom Mirror
After three attempts, we were finally able to hang our new bathroom mirror. This thing was a beast and had to weigh at least 50 lbs. This is what the bathroom looked like when we bought the house. The mirror was way too small for the vanity and I hated the oak finish. Several months […]

Behind two 1970’s raccoon and squirrel prints were these antique French prints. Who would’ve thought? And who thought the little critters made better art […]
Living Room
I always get such a great response when I post about a slipcover and I promise I will break it down in a tutorial for you. Honestly, I took pictures while making one a while ago, but they were taken at night before I used my Speedlight and they stink. I have several pieces in […]
$4.00 Chair + White Cotton Twill =
I absolutely love being able to make slipcovers. If you don’t detest sewing, you really should try your hand at making one. When we purchased our house 3 1/2 years ago, we were moving from 1010 square feet to about 2500. We needed furniture, but buying new was not in the budget…nor is that my […]
