sharing my passion for all things home
See these dining chairs? They're about to get a whole lot cuter! I am finally ready to fix-up them with new, made-by-me slipcovers and today I'm going to show you my project inspiration. Before I can do that, however, I need to tell you about my fabulous deal. (Because I just can't resist sharing!)This spring I scored a fantastic deal on this … [Read more...]

Weird!)I saw it for the very first time last night. But, when I went to HGTV.com to learn more about it, I read that it's been airing since April? But, … [Read more...]

Do you ever feel like a room or an outdoor space in your home is missing something or it just doesn't feel right to you?

I bought this cute little china hutch packed with potential on Craig's list a couple of months ago because I needed something small for my dining room. It's a little shorter than I'd like it to be but I plan to fix that by finding some cute little legs, so this re-do is not quite complete yet. But here it is so far. It went from … [Read more...]
