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
One of my favorite recent finds at Goodwill was this walnut chest for $30. I’ve always been wanting something for the underneath our wall cutout between the great room and kitchen and thought this piece would be perfect, but wanted to switch it to black.

The best part of living in St. Louis is that you’re only a couple of minutes away from wine country, and this is definitely the time of year to enjoy it!

I thought it was a good idea to paint the wall this color when I decorated the room with Disney… View Post

Yeah, I know… it’s our first home, but the kitchen always seems to be the gathering place when you have company over. We used to have a larger oak buffet that rested along our red accent wall.

One of my favorite DIY websites is www.centsationalgirl.com. Recently she featured a bare wall transformation creating an instant mud room.

I started with painting my white walls to a desaturated olive green that matches my kitchen (which is located right next… View Post
