My Life as a DIY Wannabe
If you remember, I’m try to revamp my Great Room on a tight budget which means upcycling my current furniture and accessories. Friday I showed you my Fireplace Mantel Makeover, but I had one last project I was toying around with to add to my brick hearth. Yep, this large ceramic vase has been in my [...]
So I’m in the process of redecorating my Great Room. Yes, the room that was once filled with black furniture and lots of red is getting some lighter and brighter love. Instead of buying all new furniture, I thought I would try and paint some existing pieces to save some cash. First project: paint our [...]
I’m in the process of switching my kitchen over to a lighter color scheme. I had this little accent table sitting in there, mostly holding my tupperware and some serving pieces. Since I don’t have a lot of cabinets, I really wanted to keep this table… just switch it up a bit! I started by [...]
One of the reasons I’m at the Haven Conference right now is to learn more painting techniques. I love painting furniture, but thought I could use a class or two in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

I’ve always wanted to try out the bold new color of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Barcelona Orange. As many of you folks know, I’m a color freak. I’m not afraid to use bright and bold pops of color throughout my home. So what better way to transform a plain old corner table (from my lovely [...]
A neighbor of mine asked me to paint a mirror for her mother’s bedroom a couple weeks ago. I have to admit, I was kinda nervous about painting this gorgeous mirror (don’t mind the dog or mess in the photo)! It’s always hard doing a project for a friend, but I wanted to help! My “client” [...]
Can you believe it? Right here in my own backyard this whole time!! I’m a St. Louis girl and have been looking for some time for an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint stockist. Anyone who reads my blog knows that I’m a HUGE fan! I’ve done a couple projects using this product, including my recent old [...]
My aunt recently gave me a sewing desk that used to belong to her mother. While I don’t know how to sew {yet}, I decided that giving this old & worn-out sewing desk a fabulous makeover might give me the push I needed to sit down and start sewing. Or so I’m hoping… I knew [...]
