As is typical with my projects, it started on a normal Saturday morning. I was out yard sale shopping, and on my way to my target area, I stumbled into some interesting yard sales. At the one stop, some items had prices and some didn’t. The items that were priced seemed reasonable. So, when I […]
Pretty Blue Chair
I had bought this single chair at a yard sale, it was cheap – $1.50. I can’t pass that up. I knew I would be able to make it look pretty. Don’t judge the disastrous state of my workroom at that point!! 😉 I was craving something different, specifically color. So many of my pieces […]

We both lucked out at Charlie’s Used Furniture in Lancaster. As she was checking out nightstands, I was just browsing the […]
Be Our Guest
Our guest room is a good example of working with what we have. Puddy says, “Come on over and be our guest!” Of course, you might have to kick him out of the guest room….that bed is one of his favorite spots, mainly because he can see right out the front windows and bark at […]
Breakfast Room Conversion
When we first looked at our house, my only concern was it felt like there were too many eating areas. With just two of us, I wasn’t sure how we would use a kitchen bar, breakfast room, and dining area. Here is our floor plan, so you have a point of reference for the multiple […]
