Happy Thursday, friends!! My little family vacation has almost come to an end. We get home on Sunday. We have been gone 2 1/2 weeks, which feels like such a looong time! While I absolutely love having a break from everyday life, love spending lots of uninterrupted time as a family, and of course, visiting amazing antique stores, it’s always nice to get back home and get back to a normal schedule. Am I totally weird for feeling that way? Anyway, this week, for my furniture transformation, I wanted to share with y’all this darling coffee table that I found on the Facebook marketplace. Here it is before…And after a…

Happy Thursday, friends!! I hope you’re having a lovely week! I’m having such a great time, spending time with my family on our little family vacation! Last Thursday, I shared with y’all a dresser that I bought, painted, and sold. After writing that post, and mentioning that I wanted to be more deliberate in spending time doing something that I love, specifically being creative and painting/restoring furniture, I have decided to try to transform at least one piece of furniture every week. I briefly talked to my husband about my plans to start a little side gig, of painting and fixing up furniture to sell. I guess he liked my…

Happy Monday, friends! I hope your weekend was full of fun, and lots of sun!! This month for my clearance challenge, I found a corbel at Hobby Lobby for 75% off! It ended up being less than $13!!It is so cute as is, but there was a paint brush just sitting on my kitchen counter, that I had just been using to paint something white, so I’m sure you can guess what happened next…I brushed the corbel with just a little white paint. My original thought was to put it on my mantel, but once I had it drying on my kitchen counter, I knew it would look perfect on…

I’m so excited that tomorrow if Friday!! Summer break is officially in full swing here. My boys and I are loving the warm weather and being outside! This summer, I am making a more conscience effort to take a little time everyday to do something that I enjoy. While I LOVE being a mom and doing all the mom things, there are some other things that I love to do too. I think it’s so important to invest time into ourselves too! It’s hard to do, but is so worth it. Something that I really enjoy doing is giving new life to furniture. This week, I found this darling little…

Happy Wednesday, friends! Today, I am so excited to be joining a group of bloggers, for a fun DIY challenge, hosted by the very sweet and talented Terrie of Decorate & More With Tip . There are links to all of the other bloggers are the bottom of this post, you won’t want to miss them! This month, we were each supposed to create a basket of some sort, inspired by this lovely basket from Anthropologie… Everyone in the group was talking about making a basket out of rope, such a great idea! But, I know myself well enough to know that I would have spent so much time and…

Happy Thursday, sweet friends! I hope y’all have been having a wonderful week! My boys are now officially on their summer break from school…pure chaos!!! Today, I want to share with y’all how to I created a botanical gallery wall for cheap! I started by printing out, on white card stock, some free printables that I found on Pinterest. Click HERE for the printables. I trimmed the edges of the printables, then using paper clips (Hobby Lobby) and map pins (Walmart), I hung them on the wall. The map pins work perfectly, the paper is lightweight enough that the pins hold really well. And also, because one day, when I…

Happy Memorial Day! I hope y’all are having a wonderful long weekend! I am so excited to be joined by some of my blogging friends today, to show y’all what we have each found at the thrift store, and show how we have incorporated our finds in our homes. Can you guess what my thrifted find is in this picture? Let me give you a hint…it was just $9!It’s kinda obvious, right? Isn’t she cute!! She wasn’t quite this lovely last week, when I first laid eyes on her at the thrift store. This is how I found her…I knew that I could easily strip her of the yellow paint,…
