You see them at yard sales all of the time. Little decorative items that are still cute but outdated because of the colors used on them. There are certain colors that were used in certain time periods that totally give them away. In the 70's it was avocado, yellow, and oranges. In the eighties there was the whole country phase in country blue and mauve. Many of these decorative items you would pass right by at yard sales and thrift stores when all they really need is a little makeover. I ... VIEW POST

Spring Coffee Table Decor
Hello my friends! As I explained to you last week, I've been having some issues with my right kidney. The doctor inserted a stent because my kidney had a blockage. Well ... sticking that sucker in there caused a whole lot of other problems, and the doc decided it needed to come out. When they put it in, it was during a surgery where I was under anesthesia. What they didn't tell me was that when they take it out you are not. So when the doctor said this is really going to hurt, he freaking ... VIEW POST
Fabulous Floral Projects
It's finally Spring!!!! At least it is here in Kansas! As I have mentioned before, I am not a Fall or Winter girl. Give me green grass and warm weather, and I am one happy camper. I get giddy when I look out and see daffodils and iris poking their heads above ground. As much as I love flowers, I do not have much of a green thumb, so in order to enjoy the beautiful blossoms, I sometimes have to fake it. I love having flowers on the front door or using them as centerpieces, and some of ... VIEW POST
Shopping Your Home (Part 3 of Our Decorating Challenge)
For the last couple of months my bloggy buddies and I have participated in a decorating challenge where you decorate the same space three different ways using only items you already own. Making over furniture is easy for me, decorating not so much. As I have said before, I tend to decorate a space and then leave it for the next five years. This challenge has been good for me to pull old things out of the basement and shuffle things all around the house. The spot that I chose to decorate ... VIEW POST
Best of DIY- Hydrangea Easter Wreath
Welcome to the second installation of the Best of DIY Tour where 24 of my friends and I are sharing some of our newest projects! I am hosting Easter at my house this year, and while I have already decorated the inside of the house, my front door was still looking a little bare. I wanted to make an Easter wreath, but didn't have a lot of extra time to devote to it, so I decided on something quick and easy. Here is what I used: A grapevine wreath, Some artificial ...

Ivory and Blue Painted China Hutch
Guess what today is? It's Furniture Themed Thursday! This month's theme is Distressed, and all of my blogging buddies and I have some fun new projects to show you! My brother picked-up this old china hutch for me from a yard sale a while back, and it had been living in my basement for two years now (something my hubby never let me forget). When we installed our new carpet a few weeks ago, and my brother and hubby had to carry this mammoth beast back up the stairs, he said ... VIEW POST
Plaster Painted Shelf Makeover
Hello everyone! Sorry I was M.I.A. on Monday, but we have been watching my 18-month-old niece the past few days, and as you all know, they are very busy at that age! It was a beautiful day yesterday, so we took her to our fantastic zoo and out to eat. Of course we had to tip our waitress very well because our table looked like a war zone! She has been so good, and we have had fun playing with her. The unnamed child is on spring break this week, so it's nice getting to spend some time ... VIEW POST
