I have learned a few more things about stripping: The hard stuff works so much faster. Laying it on thick really works. Kinda sounds like I’m referring to a night out clubbing, doesn’t it? But I assure you, nothing doing up in the club for this gal, I’ve been spending my time in the far… Read More
100 Day Project
Hi there! I apologize for my lack of posts last week! My daughter was moving home from being away for a year and I wanted to surprise her with a brand new room, and in the process, really wanted to surprise all of you as well. However, I am still waiting for several items to… Read More
Nightstand Project
Some progress is being made in my daughter’s bedroom, albeit slowly. I’ve acquired a new bed frame, a desk to paint and turn into a vanity, and am re-doing some nightstands and a dresser. I’m hoping to sell her existing furniture on Craigslist, Letgo or FaceBook Marketplaces, all have been seriously good to me. One of… Read More
Great Products!

A Round Up of (Wishful Thinking) Garage Ideas!
How’s your garage? Mine is a disaster. But when we have people over, or host a party, inevitably the garage door winds up open, much to my dismay, showing the world the worst part of our home. So every summer, I start my campaign that when we have a stretch of sunny days, we need… Read More
Still a Mystery!
Happy 4th of July! I’m moving forward with my little mystery project. My very sweet husband repaired the broken leg on the stool. I then sanded and chalk painted the base. I found some fabric at Hobby Lobby that I liked, and very quickly “upholstered” my tiny stool. It’s definitely not a perfect… Read More
A Mystery on the Blog today!
It was dark when I got home, and being lazy I was walking through the foyer and up the stairs without turning on the lights, so I almost tripped over something on the floor! When I questioned my husband about it, he said it had been left on our porch without a note…Hmmmm…. So what… Read More
