Toy Storage Bench Re-Do
You know how I love a good makeover (I am officially addicted) and I just worked on yet another one – this time it was a child’s bench that has toy storage underneath. I picked up it up at Goodwill for $6.97 and thought it was just too cute to pass up! Although it took […]
Slowing Down
Fall is fast approaching in our neck of the woods, and I am ready! Even though summer is by far my most favorite time of the year (the warm sunshine just makes me happy!), I am still excited for the changing of the seasons. The sweaters, campfires, yellow leaves, and all that good stuff! I’m […]
Painting Pumpkins (Yes, you can do this too! Really!)
I’ve been known to paint words/lettering on almost anything and this fall, pumpkins are no exception! I bought some really beautiful white pumpkins (don’t you just love white?!) at a roadside stand and decided to give it a try. Since my handwriting is atrocious, I printed out the lettering on my printer, then traced it […]
Simple Mirror Transformation
I have a thing for old mirrors and bought this old one at a yard sale last weekend for 50 cents. It was filthy and made of plastic – not wood. But for that price, I had to have it! I spray painted it white and used sandpaper to distress the edges, and in no […]
I’m Back!
Well, the Country Living Fair was every bit as glorious as I imagined! There were so many cool booths with fun decorations for sale – my mind could hardly take in all the new ideas that I got! Seriously! Come with me for a little tour! Pumpkins and fall decorations…love that chalkboard picture frame in […]

The Country Living Fair, that is! My mom, sister-in-laws, and I are packing our bags and heading out to Columbus, Ohio for a fun, child-free weekend! Oh, glory!!

The latest fun (cheap!) finds
This is the latest installment of “What you get when you dig through the bins at Goodwill”. I know, some people probably think I’m pathetic, but to tell you the truth, I just don’t care! Finding bargains is my idea of a good time! Here we go! Giant wall clock. I’ve since painted the frame […]
Inspired!
Inspiration: noun [in-spuh-rey-shuhn] an inspiring or animating action or influence, a result of inspired activity, a thing or person that inspires. I found my “inspiration room” for the new nursery that hubs and I are working on, and I am excited! Yes, I get excited over silly things like opening up a fresh new magazine, […]
Beach House
We had a nice, little mini-vacay at my parents’ beach house this past weekend where we did some of THIS… (my brother with Avery) And saw a LOT of THIS… (view from my parents’ front porch) And some of THIS… (the moon over the bay – so beautiful!) And didn’t get MUCH of THIS… (sleep, […]
iNsPiRaTiOn Wall
This morning I worked on this inspiration wall in my office. I wanted to make it fun but not too messy and, in the end, this is what I came up with. I hung some string and used clothes pins to attach my photos/magazine clippings, etc. I spray painted an old Goodwill picture frame pink […]
House Love
Some friends and I spent the day in Mount Gretna yesterday and I just fell in love with all the cottages in the little town! It’s such a unique little community – full of colorful vacation homes loaded with character! Of course, being the house-nut that I am, I was snapping away… Amaaaazing front porch! […]
