I am alive!! Yes, I’ve been away from the blog for a while. I’ve definitely been busy, just haven’t really felt like taking all the pictures needed to document and share. And, most of the time I’m just painting items to sell, so they aren’t very exciting projects to share. Plus, there has been lots […]
Yard Sale Strategy
So, if you have been around for even a minute – hopefully it has been longer than that 😉 you know that I’m a yard sale addict! I like nothing more than to get up on Saturday morning, eat a quick breakfast, throw on some comfy clothes, drink my coffee and head out the door […]
Stenciled End Table
I found this nice end table at the Goodwill store a few months ago. The leg wobbled a bit when I found it, but I knew the screws just needed tightened and it definitely needed some paint for a fresh new look. But, for only $4.97, how could I resist?! I knew that I wanted to try something different […]
Spraypaint Love #3
It’s been a while since I shared some Spraypaint Love! If you missed the previous posts – here are #1 and #2. It is now perfect spraypaint weather, so I’ve had my drop cloth set up in the backyard on several occasions lately. The first was not one that I set out to paint, but […]
Thrifty Easter Decorating
I was so pleased with my Easter egg crafts, it was fun to use them to decorate the house this year for Easter. I just love the beaded eggs, so they are one of the first decorations you see when you walk in our front door. I made a little vignette on the foyer console […]
Lancaster Creative Reuse
A few weekends ago, I finally got to check out Lancaster Creative Reuse. I had only heard of the store recently from a few friends who know my love of thrifting, crafting and DIY. If you are anything like me, then you need to check out this store! Before I lose anyone who isn’t from Lancaster […]
Spraypaint Love #2
In August, I shared my first Spraypaint Love post, and at the time I didn’t know if I would share more simple updates like that. But, due to the request to share more and the fact that life has been crazy and I really only have simple spraypaint updates as projects to share, I thought it […]
Fall Decorating…Finally
My Fall decorating seemed to take forever this year. I think I actually started it before it was officially Fall, and I’m just now getting it “done”. Fortunately, I got some areas done earlier, so I was able to share my No-Sew Tablerunner with natural décor and then I was in the Fall spirit with my […]
How to rewire a lamp
Last weekend, I was out thrift shopping with my friends and found a set of two pretty lamps. They were only $12 each, but the cord on the one was very old. You can see it was all cracked. The other cord wasn’t as bad, but still was risky. I decided for the price to […]
Spraypaint Love
I had debated sharing these simple spray paint updates, because they are really, quick and easy updates and I wasn’t sure they were really “blog-worthy”. But, then I realized that I can’t have more in-depth projects like Kitchen Makeovers and Backsplash Tiling every week. Time and money don’t allow for that. So, today I have […]
