I have a fun thrift store makeover to share with you today!  I know some of you love to see these and I sure do love to do them too.  I just don’t need as much furniture and accessories as I once did so I don’t do as many thrifted or yard sale makeovers as […]

Butcher block table and chairs farmhouse style makeover

October 13, 2017

Many years ago (I think it has been 8-9 years!) I scoured craigslist for a butcher block style table like this.  I finally found one not very far at all from where we lived  with 4 chairs and a pedestal instead of 4 legs and I think I paid $100.  I sold a dark brown […]

DIY Cotton Wreath (for less than $20!)

August 28, 2017

I’m sure I am not the only one that has fallen in love with the modern farmhouse style that seems so popular right now.  Whether it’s because of Joanna’s incredible style on Fixer Upper or just because we are craving a comfortable, laid back yet modern/pretty style in our homes, all things rustic/natural/neutrals and farmhouse […]

New paint in the kitchen

August 7, 2017

I’m always amazed at the power of paint in a room!  I am working on catching you up on some changes we’ve made in our house – some were gradual and I just haven’t had a chance to blog them yet.   We moved 3 weeks before I had our little girl so I only […]
