Adding a little zebra never hurt anything

The other day, I found this cute little kitchen table and chairs at Faith Farm. It was a little tired and a little dated, but in great condition. Even the caning on the chairs was perfect. Over this last week, I've finally gotten around to updating them. You know the drill... clean them, sand ... read more

Patio Furniture Re-do

When we lived in our old house, the colors of our patio furniture where all oranges and rust and reds. When we moved here, all the furniture we had didn't quite fit the patio space, nor was I in love with the color scheme anymore. I wanted blues and greens. Since we had already either given away or ... read more

More shiny things…

Since I've been amassing quite a collection of silver platters/plates/bowls, I've been looking for ways to display them. I've seen quite a few wall displays on Pinterest, like these... and I've been contemplating something similar for my house. Keeping that in mind, don't judge me ... read more

When the old colors just don’t work anymore

I have a thousand knick knacks, or shelf-sitters/dust collectors - as I call them,  around my house, most of which came from our old house.

At the time, I didn't have $350 to re-upholster each of them, so at first I tried to cover them up. And then, I decided that I would ... read more

Finally Finished! Re-Upholstered Chair

A few months ago, I started a upholstery class on Tuesday nights. We each had to bring our own "project" piece with us to class every week. Do you  remember when my chair looked like this? And now, it's finally finished. Yay!! I have been doing a happy dance every time I see it sitting in the ... read more

The Red Shed

Sorry that it's been a while, but my little brother was here for almost a week (on and off) and I didn't want to stop to post while he was busy working his fingers to the bone. Having him here is such a blessing, as I finally get to cross a ton of stuff off of my "to-do" list, and the relief I get ... read more

I like shiny stuff

After many months of going to my favorite thrift store and coming home with many treasures, my husband wanted to see what was so great about the place. Yesterday, he finished work early and we headed over. I have to say, he wasn't really impressed at first. But then I dragged him around and showed ... read more
