The other day, I posted about some projects I needed to finish in this post. One of which was my son's chair. This one... I think I picked it up at the thrift store for $5. Not a single piece of caning was broken, and even though the fabric on the cushion was faded, it was in good condition ... read more

Pinterest Addict – Tulip Fabric Spray Paint Chair
Fabric Spray Paint Chair I bought this chair at my favorite thrift store, Faith Farm, many months ago for $5. It's one of my favorite chairs. Super cute and and comfortable.

Laundry Room Makeover – It almost makes me want to do laundry…
The laundry room re-do is done!! In case you don't remember, because it was really not memorable at all, this is what it looked like last week. Boring. Bland. A little depressing. But now, after many days of work, and lots of energy spent, this is our new laundry room! We replaced the ... read more

Laundry Room Before and Inspiration I've been working on our laundry room! Finally. When we moved here, it was one of the first things I wanted to do, but it kept getting put off because of the nine hundred other things that took priority over it, like getting the water system working. This is the ... read more

New Life for an Old Chair
My First Upholstery Project - Cane Chair Update I love thrift stores, and as I read through many of my favorite blogs, I see that I am not alone.
