In the past, I would go to yard sales and see amazing upholstered vintage chairs, and I would pass them by. The fabric usually looked worn, and I didn't want to dish out the money to have it reupholstered. Then a few months ago, I tried my hand at painting the actual fabric. It turned out great! So when my mom saw that a neighbor had left this outdated, peach number out on the curb, she scooped it up and brought it home for me to work a little magic on. ... VIEW POST

How to Make a No Sew Pillow (and a Giveaway)
As I have mentioned in the past, I am not a person that sews. It's not that I don't like to, I literally don't even know how to thread a machine. Being someone who is constantly decorating and redecorating, it can be frustrating and expensive to keep buying new pillows. A lot of pillows range anywhere from $50-$100 dollars! I'm always jealous when I see a fellow DIYer with sewing skills knock-out a set of super cute pillows on a regular basis. So when Online Fabric Store sent me some ... VIEW POST

Look at all of the new, techie products out there now that 20 years ago we wouldn't have dreamed of! A portable phone so small it can fit in your pocket? DVR's that can "guess" what shows you like?

With a Heavy Heart…
Almost 21 years ago, I was at our local Humane Society -- which back then was a really run down, scary place. I was in the cat section, walking by the rows of cats when a tiny paw reached through the cage and touched my shoulder. I looked in and saw a tiny little ball of brown fluff, with the sweetest pleading eyes you have ever seen. I hadn't stopped by there to adopt a furbaby. I was actually there with my boyfriend at the time, killing a few minutes before we went to a movie. Being ... VIEW POST
Anthropologie Bamboo Inlay Frame Knock Off
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! It was great weather here, so we were busy staining the deck. Why is it that it takes so much longer than you think it's going to? We are getting close, but I think it will take another weekend to finish it off. We had a lot going on, so sadly I didn't get out there to hit any yard sales. I did spend some time shopping online at some of my favorite stores -- shopping as in finding expensive things that I love and ... VIEW POST
