Yes you can spray paint those thrift store brass lamps!
Here’s the story of 2 brass lamps I bought a while back at Value Village for $3.03 each. I see brass lamps like these all the time, but I was excited to find a matching set. And here is where I turn into a bad blogger. I spray painted them, but I either didn’t take […]
Lack of inspiration? (or maybe just a lack of motivation?)
I have been feeling pretty uninspired recently . Wait…no, not really uninspired, maybe a better word would be unMOTIVATED!

March Goals checkup
So my friend Christa wrote her goal checkup post last week and this is the picture she used to describe it… Yep, I feel the same way! Don’t even want to look at this list. And worse yet we are 1/4 of the way DONE with 2012 and I am no where near 1/4 of […]
Strawberry + White chocolate cake w/ lemon cream cheese icing (+ how to frost and decorate a cake like a pro)
So I am the last stop on the Bloggy Progressive Dinner and I hope that you saved some room for dessert. Although I think Laine’s homemade crescent rolls and Cranberry Feta Chopped Salad from yesterday could end off my meal just fine – can’t wait to make her rolls! 🙂 So today I am going […]
