I found a new end table this past week at St. Vincent De Paul. I really didn’t have a specific place in mind for it, but for only $10 it was a steal! Luckily the end table is made of real wood and from Stanley Furniture so I know it will last! No knicks or dents and the drawers opened… View Post
I’ve been needing something new to put above my accent table in the kitchen that I purchased at Pier 1 a couple of months ago. I recently had a canvas painting of some fruit, but I’m really trying to phase out that theme in my kitchen (it’s a little outdated!). During a recent trip to HomeGoods with my sister-in-law, I… View Post
While wandering around the DIY blog world last week, I found these awesome Scrabble tile boards from Shanks – Est. 2009. I thought I would give this project a whirl! So above is Shanks’ version, and here’s mine! First step was to track down my supplies. I headed to the nearby Michael’s and picked up some 12×12 inch wooden tiles… View Post

While roaming through the aisles of my recent favorite store (Goodwill), I found a wooden spindled chair with… View Post
I spotted this country style heart shelf from Goodwill the other day for $6. While it’s not really my style, I thought a little paint could really transform this into a nice little accent piece for my daughter’s bedroom. The shelf was in great condition for only $6. I really didn’t have to do any sanding since the surface was… View Post
When I was researching stencils to complete my daughter’s bedroom wall (seen here), I came across a couple of articles online about using small stencils for ordinary lamp shades from the DIY blog Two Girls Being Crafty. I thought this was a perfect idea for my great room’s lamp, since the shade is white and kinda blends in with the… View Post
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 it up, he mentioned that… View Post
