Nesting Tables With Wine Label Transfers I love these little tables! While there was technically nothing wrong with them, I bought them to restyle so restyle is what I did. I’m sure the reason why they were being sold at a yard sale was because the legs were very wobbly. An Allen wrench was all […]
Month: July 2014
The newest addition to my living room walls. My son and I went to a few yard sales last week and I found this fantastic metal medallion. It was only a dollar! I wasn’t crazy about the brassy shine, but that wasn’t anything that spray paint couldn’t fix. I had a can of white primer […]
Back-to-School Apples Plushy Golden Pears As usual the summer heat forces me indoors. I don’t care for extreme heat or extreme cold, but with the cold you can layer on more clothes…in the heat you can only take off so many clothes before you’re naked. 😉 Thankfully the cool air conditioning allows me to continue […]

Headboard Restyle to Country Chic Shelf I bought this shelf from a friend a few years ago. She said it was a headboard, but that’s not what I saw. I envisioned rows of hens tucked cozily in nests laying eggs. Okay, I didn’t really plan on putting chickens in/on the shelf, but that’s what it […]
New decor for the master bedroom. For my birthday in May, a friend gifted me with calendars that featured sheet music book covers. Even though I have authentic vintage sheet music books, I loved the vibrant colors and pristine graphics of the calendar pages. I had the perfect base for decoupaging a couple of these […]
Wow! Where did the week go? I think I’m still recovering and catching up after our family’s weekend trip to Seward, Nebraska for the 4th of July festivities. My husband’s brother and his wife invited us to enjoy the town’s Independence Day celebration. We had no idea how fabulous it would be! It is only […]
