A few months ago, I told you about how the lovely and talented Amy Howard brought a handful of bloggers, including myself, down to Memphis for a few days for a training session and some fun pampering. We got to hear her story about how her company began, and how it transitioned into having her own line of paint. She also spent some time teaching us some new techniques, and I got to use some products that were new to me. Once we got home, she most generously sent us some products to work with ... VIEW POST

Black Mirror Makeover (and my new chandelier!)
I found something amazing!!! I'm so stinkin' excited about this! So Tuesday, I was making my daily rounds on Craigslist when I came across an ad for a chandelier that had just been listed. You all know how I am when it comes to chandeliers, see here, here and here. But this this one takes the cake!
