So I have been plugging along in repainting our house. If you missed it before, I am a partnering with Behr paint as a Behr DIY Expert again this year and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We painted our entire house when we moved in 10 years ago and except for a […]
Friday Frugal Finds: thrift store finds–shoes, kitchen décor, throws, and more
Today I have a mix of frugal finds to share with you from various trips to thrift stores over the last few weeks. I picked up this heavy, nice candlestick for $1.01 at Value Village. On my next trip to Value Village (yes, the cashiers really do know me by name ), I picked up […]
Bridal Brunch at the Beach (Beach themed wedding shower)
I love decorating, love entertaining, and I love food so I guess a fun job for me would be to plan parties revolving around food. Which is exactly what I get to do as the shower coordinator at our church. So thankful that I get to use my love of decorating to minister in […]
Friday Frugal Finds: Goodwill shopping even on vacation
One day I will get back into a regular blogging schedule again, you guys! I miss the blog and my readers when I am not blogging but can’t seem to do projects, live life, and blog all at the same time anymore after my life getting so rearranged in the last 6 months. Hoping in […]
No-sew, inexpensive, long curtains made from SHEETS!
Some of you may have known right off what my new curtains in my eat-in-kitchen makeover post were made from. If you guessed sheets you were right! I am all about hanging my curtains high and wide! I had picked up the cheap sheers several years ago before I saw the difference that hanging your […]
Eat in kitchen makeover (+ how to easily add more height to your room)
I love looking back at before/after pictures and boy, do I have some good ones for you today! Here is our eat-in-kitchen maybe 2 years after we bought our house. We hadn’t done much except paint when we first moved in. So at some point, probably about 5 years ago… I added a chair rail […]
House makeover – black painted shutters and front door
Ok, so this is probably one of my biggest transformations yet. Not necessarily in the amount of work because it wasn’t that intensive but when you change the appearance of the entire front of your house that is pretty big! So here’s our house before… Not bad. But I honestly was really wanting a […]
Front porch makeover (decorated for summer in red, white, and blue)
Can’t wait to show you my summer front porch! I just love red, white, and blue and using it to decorate outdoors for summer just seems so fitting! But first let’s stop back a bit and look at how we got to that pretty decorated porch. It required lots of painting, staining, and cleaning! The […]
Friday Frugal Finds: vintage Pyrex, tupperware, and more
I just did a little yard sale shopping last weekend. I typically do all my errands on Friday so just stop at any sales I happen to see on my way to town and around town. I need to schedule a weekend soon to just devote to ALL yardsaling or thrifting! Haven’t done that […]
Red and yellow summer wreath with a burlap bow
So you know I couldn’t keep my front door naked for long! It looks so weird to me to not have something up there. And since I can FINALLY use any color I want on my black door instead of colors like red looking horrible on my burgundy door, I couldn’t wait to create […]
