My hubby and I are celebrating our six year wedding anniversary this week. While most ladies ask for jewelry, candy or flowers, I asked for Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint. Yeah, I know… my painting obsession is kinda getting out of hand. It arrived in the mail this week from Di Lucca Design and I couldn’t be more excited to get… View Post
So I thought I would put together a couple of my favorite projects I found this week while flipping through the DIY blog websites. These people have totally inspired me and want me to get out my paint brush! From Dan and Haley Hill at The Hills Est. 2008, this stenciled bedroom wall with shades of gray and yellow. Can… View Post
I found these huge candlesticks at Goodwill last week for $9 total. I quickly fell in love because the small one is one foot tall and the larger one is about two feet tall. It’s hard to find large accent candlesticks for such a good price! While I loved the size, I didn’t think the color would pop like I… View Post

During a recent trip to HomeGoods with my sister-in-law, I… View Post

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
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. Thought it would be a… View Post
As seen in last week’s blog here, I finished transforming an old wooden desk into an art station for my three year old daughter. While I love the way the finished desk looks, I really needed a new chair to make it functional. While roaming through the aisles of my recent favorite store (Goodwill), I found a wooden spindled chair with… View Post
