There is nothing I like more than to save money. It makes me a little giddy when I find a sweet deal on something I need, as opposed to just something I want. Today, I went to Faith Farm to find a bedside table for my son's room. No luck at all. But I did find some lanterns with potential, and they . . .
Light Fixture Makeovers and Replacements
When we first looked at our new house, I loved the natural light that filled it. What I didn't like were all the light fixtures. Every one of them were builder-grade, and the cheapest ones at that. There were "pimple" light globes in the bathrooms, hallways and even our bedroom. Every . . .
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 . . .
Easy Halloween decorations
While looking for Fall decoration ideas, I found this on Pinterest. While I don't eat much candy corn, decorating with it is fabulous! (Visit Woman's Day for more ideas on decorating with candy corn.) I loved them because they didn't scream "HALLOWEEN!!" at you, so you could use them for all . . .

This is the . . .

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. After seeing some of the treasures that other's have found, I find myself wishing that I lived closer to this or that place/blogger so I too could find . . .
Our New house
I love to re-invent things. Whether it be an ugly chair, or a desk that has seen better days. Which is why, when we were looking for a new house, I didn't shy away from the ones that weren't "pretty". My husband wanted a house with more than a quarter of an acre, and in this area of South Florida, . . .
Just another day in the life of a Pinterest Addict
Before Pinterest, my internet life consisted of email, news websites, google, PostSecret, Facebook and finding photography websites. I knew that blogs existed, but never really found any that were interesting to me long-term. Not that I put much energy into finding them, because what experience I . . .
