After the 4th of July, I took down my patriotic wreath and challenged myself to make a summer wreath without spending a dime. I use my wreath forms over and over and after I tire of a wreath’s look, I remove the decorations, saving the florals that still look good, and of course saving the…
It’s Themed Furniture Makeover Day. Each month a group of blogging friends challenge each other to make over a piece of furniture with a theme. This month’s theme is industrial. This theme had me stumped until I spotted a project from Unique Junktique; she transformed a piano bench into a a patriotic table. After seeing…
Disclosure: I was provided with a complimentary watch for this review. All opinions are truthful and my own. When Jord watches approached me about reviewing one of their wooden watches, I knew from the minute that I opened their website to investigate that the answer would be yes. I had no idea that a wooden…
Back in February I shared with you the antiques that my teacher assistant passed along to me from her aunt’s estate. A drum table has been patiently waiting in the workshop for its makeover and it is now complete. Two of the legs were loose and one was out of position making the table lean…
I’ve got two makeover to share today: a Goodwill lamp and Cargo end tables. The lamp is my favorite, so let’s start there. A few weeks ago my mom and I stopped at a Goodwill where I spotted a lamp that I really liked. My mom thinks that it is from the 1960’s, but you…

I am a Stitch Fix affiliate and if you make a purchase, I earn a small commission. My love for Stitch Fix is genuine and all opinions are truthful and my own. Stitch Fix box #25 arrived recently and as always, I was super excited to open it. This month I asked my stylist for a cardigan or blazer…
It’s time for another round of “Themed Furniture Makeovers.” Each month my blogging friends challenge each other to makeover a piece of furniture using a theme. This month’s theme is rustic. The rustic theme had me stumped until I found this cobbler’s bench coffee table at Goodwill for just $14.99. It’s solid and charming in…
Being out of school has meant that I’ve had time to enjoy doing things around the house including decorating for July 4. My mantel is decked out for the 4th using mostly vintage or vintage inspired items. I started my patriotic mantel decorating by hanging a vintage “Old Glory” print over the fireplace. Believe…
