Shari and her family became our friends when we worked with them during the whirlwind CLEAN SLATE weekend. Soon after Shari called me with a desire to add some country charm to her neglected living room. The room already had some rough cedar wood paneling that would tie in…
This blurry and pitiful picture can’t quite confirm how ugly the dining room light fixture was when we moved in 2 years ago. However I am hoping you can see just enough to notice what an incredible transformation it made! It’s quite amazing what a can of spray paint and…
For a little Labor Day getaway a few of my friends and I traveled 4 hours southwest to Dallas. A weekend of fun and shopping ensued! COMING SOON. . . some great ideas I got while walking through IKEA and inspiring displays from ANTHROPOLOGIE!!! Here’s a little taste of what’s…
My first attempt at fabric dying was a success! The dress that once made me look washed out now flatters my coloring and figure as well! The process was super simple. I followed the directions on the box to a “T” and ended up with a perfectly uniform dye job….
Part 1 of my parent’s pond project is now complete! Now it’s up to my dear ol’ dad to keep his part of the deal and finish out this fine looking focal point. Let me remind you of what this plot of land looked like before I started to spif…
