It's the last week of October and I finally am getting around to sharing my Fall Porch Decor. If you know me personally or have been following along on my blog for a while, you would know I'm not one to spend a lot of time on decorating. I like to decorate and change things around, but if it's too involved , too putsy, or take too long... forget it. That is how I became intrigued by the post: … [Read more...]
DIY Silver Chalkboard Tray
I wanted to share with you a quick DIY project you can do in a half hour or less. This idea came to me when I had the opportunity to share in a birthday celebration for a dear friend and wanted to give a personal kind of gift. I had a couple of these silver trays tucked away in my stash that I picked up one day thrifting at a very reasonable price. I always had the intention of … [Read more...]
Front Door Refresh
When we first moved into our home almost 14 years ago, Our front door was a deep forest green. This was way before I starting blogging so I do not have a picture of it. One day my husband was in the painting mood and decided to paint the front door with some left over cream colored paint. I liked the fresh new look and was very appreciative of his effort in his attempts to spruce things up. … [Read more...]
Office Space on a Budget- Part III
The search is over. I found a desk! The search didn't take as long as I thought. I guess I had the idea of what I wanted in my head and when I saw it I pounced. It was located on Craigslist at the price point I was willing to spend. I made the call, put in an offer and the gentleman accepted as long as I could pick it up that day. I asked my son to come along to help with the lifting and we … [Read more...]

I will go on the hunt, find the treasures and then decide where and how I will use them in my home. This exact method happened when I came across this white cabinet a while back. Do you remember my posting this in a Friday Find? I purchased it because it was a … [Read more...]
Friday Finds
This morning was a success. Ok let me back track. Today I was able to get off of work a little earlier than expected. I ran home and took the pooch for a quick walk and then headed out on the hunt. Around here, as the summer winds down, garage sales are becoming sparse. So, now I added a thrift store stop in the plan of the morning. Here is what found... At my first stop, I came across this … [Read more...]
How to organize your jewelry on a budget
Have you experienced disorganization when it come to you jewelry? I sure did. To be honest, I am not a big jewelry wearer, but, that may have been because of its accessibility. When I would be getting ready I would not take the time to look through my selections to make a choice to complete my outfit. Out of sight , Out of mind. Then after the fact I would kick myself for … [Read more...]
Update on Buffet
During the holidays, I wanted to incorporate the buffet into the festive decor. I was very pleased to have a new home for my Willow Tree Creche. Just to change things up a bit, I took down the fall picture and hung a mirror. This mirror was a total score on one of my "Friday Finds" trips. Can you believe it was only $5? I so love a good find. Don't you? Please share how you mixed things up … [Read more...]
