My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Red Posie, one of my favorite antique and vintage stores in the St. Louis area, moved to a new location a couple weeks ago. While visiting the new digs, I noticed they now sell Maison Blanche La Craie paint and I’ve always wanted to try it! If you haven’t heard of this paint, it’s basically chalk [...]
My brother and his wife just had their first child two weeks ago and it came down to the wire to get a few last-minute details finished in the nursery. One of the things that they just had to cross off the list before the arrival of Baby Evelyn? The glider. They received this natural [...]
Today I’m guest posting over at Amanda’s blog, Serenity Now. Please stop by and say hello! OK, now onto the normal post. I’m a girl who likes change. Anyone close to me will tell you that I change the décor in my home every six months… or at least so it seems. That’s why I [...]
So a few weeks ago I found this little gem on Pinterest… Parson chair bling for the upcoming holiday season. Seemed like an easy enough project to jazz up my dining room! Here’s a before shot… yep, a blank canvas that’s ready for a little love! So I gathered my supplies: three packages of 9 [...]

A couple of month’s back I painted and reupholstered an accent chair for my Great Room (seen here). While I liked the fabric choice and color, I didn’t think that the chair provided enough POP for the room! Over the weekend I was at Hancock Fabrics while they were celebrating their 54th Anniversary with a [...]
Yes, I know. I’ve been on a bit of a revamped chair kick recently! While at St. Vincent De Paul last week, I spotted this lovely chair. It caught my eye with the cool bevels in the wood…and the ugly fabric of course! I decided to purchase the chair to refurbish for my Great Room. [...]
My daughter is a budding artist so I really thought she’d love a space to create and color of her own. While I was at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago, I found a great desk for $30 that was in pretty good shape. When I called my hubby to see if he could pick [...]
The other evening the chair for our kitchen desk completely collapsed and broke while my little lady was playing at the computer. I had always been meaning to replace that old thing, but I guess now is a time as good as any. I found this little wooden chair at Goodwill for $3. It’s in [...]
