Many years ago we added a small porch to the front of our home with Chippendale railings. After years of being exposed to the elements, both railings and one Chippendale side was falling apart due to rot. Rather than hire someone to do this project, we tackled it ourselves and made our own DIY Chippendale…
I’ve joined a group of friends for a challenge to makeover a piece of furniture each month with a theme. April’s theme is “bright”. It was a quick decision for me to decide to give the garden bench that resides on our screened porch an update with a bright coat of paint. This bench purchased…
“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Tony’s Pizza, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #tonyspizzeria https://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV.” I love to entertain but quite honestly don’t take time to do so nearly enough.

If you aren’t familiar with Stitch Fix, it’s a shopping service where five clothing and/or jewelry items are personally selected by a stylist for you each month. A style profile is completed before your first shipment and items are personally selected for you that your…
It’s my pleasure to share a local Lynchburg product, Snookie Snookerwitz. Snookie Snookerwitz, owned by Juli and Kevin Peak, makes gourmet coffee, cocoa, tea, cider, and flavored popcorn. The products are made from scratch, start to finish by the Peaks. I first learned about Snookie Snookerwitz at last spring’s Vintage Lynchburg Market. I so much…

I’ve been busy decorating my home for Easter but lacked a centerpiece for my dining room table. After glittering some faux eggs and nestling them in book page filler in a vintage ironstone vegetable dish, I had the perfect centerpiece for my table. Glittered Easter eggs are a quick and easy to make craft. …
Pennants have been the rage on blogs and on the Internet for several years. I’ve even made pennants for bulletin boards at school. Crafting a pennant from cereal boxes is a great way to upcycle something that nearly every household has on-hand. Making a cereal box pennant produces a pennant that’s strong and that will…
