I didn`t really know what to title today`s post. I think it sounds like a title from Keeper`s At Home Mag. But that`s just how it has to be. I had said earlier in the week- or was that last week? (Forgive me, I have been sick and under the weather for too long now.) [...]
Bar Stool Re-do.
When titling my posts sometimes they say funny things- until I quickly edit them silly-lolly bloopers out. This one did much better with the word “bar” added, if you know what I mean. All I`m showing today is a tiny little BARstool redo. I soo wish I had a better before picture. Whenever I say [...]
Porch Blues News.
Ok, well Spring appears to be here. Which means, like I mentioned here, means it is time to move from our warm, cozy houses OUT into the great outdoors. And bust our bums. Right now I have porches on my mind. Lazy ones. And pretty ones. So that`s what I am going to muse on [...]
Gardening Help, Please.
This is the house we live in. It was built in 1900. It has really good bones. We have been really blessed to so far have only cosmetic changes that we have to make to it. Unfortunately, the outside is just a MESS. A mess being an understatement here.EVERYTHING needs painted this summer- garage, fence [...]
Jar Art.
Art? Can the Holder of Relish ever look good again? I don`t promise this to be the most interesting post I have ever spit out, but here are some pics of something I tried awhile back. Wash them good. The labels come off pretty well if you soak them in hot soapy water and rub [...]
A Closer Look: Aimee @ My Pink Life.
Today: A Closer Look. I honestly cannot remember the first time I came across the blog we have featured today. All I know is for “ages” now I have been visiting Aimee @ My Pink Life, and coming away with a huge surge of passion to create. That`s why I love her and her blog [...]
Junk, Part 2.
Okay. In my last post I showed you some junk I had deliberately picked up on my last “thrift store run”– planning to revamp. Today`s post will show you the results. Mmm, I had so much fun. I hope you have fun too, when I show you, and we can share in the fun together. [...]
The One Where I Bought Junk.
You want to know something I have always wanted to do? As an experimental kind of thing? Well, here it is, my friends… Walk into a thrift store, and pick out “cool junk”– random items that I think I can see potential in. And then, well– revamp. JUST to see if I could do it. [...]
Little Black Buffet Revisited.
I wrote about the “history” of this bookshelf turned– Whatever-it-is-now, HERE. [In case you want to see her in her ugly beginning...] Since I kinda have all the parties over with, that I had planned for awhile… I decided to play with The Little Black Buffet again. Now the buffet is a book nook corner. [...]
You`ve Got Mail.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! Something dropped through the slot in my front door. And landed on my floor. Why am I so excited? Well. This came in the mail. Lovely!? You can`t think of a better word than that? How about– beautous, bewitching, gorgeous, delightful, captivating, delicate, delicious, delightful, alluring, adorable, fair, lovesome, knockout, pleasing, scrumptious, dainty, comely, [...]
