Hi there! I am so glad you're here! Today, I have for you a super quick sneak peek at our back patio. It is far from done, and I have lots of plans to complete it. But for today, here is where we are. The last couple of years that we have lived here in our little rental house, I have decorated with lot of different colors. Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, White, Black,... a lot of colors. This...

A Found Makeover- a Modern Cube Table

Jackie Hill May 11, 2016 0 Comments
HI There! We are renting our little house. It's cute and we love it here. And as with most rentals, sometimes the tenants before you will leave a few things behind. Here is a quick make over of a little something that was behind the garage in the mud. Do you have one of these? They are pretty cheap, and can be assembled and dismantled easily. I see them at garage sales often.   This one was...

A not so simple, Makeover- a small side table

Jackie Hill May 8, 2016 0 Comments
Hi There! I am back with another thrifted makeover. I got this little table awhile ago for just a couple of dollars. I knew it could be special with a bit of work. It looked like a terrible craft project. But it had simple lines and just needed some love and attention.   The top looked like it had a painted pattern at one point, but then was painted green. And then black. Or maybe the black...

Hi There!   I got a quick story for you... One day last fall, I was driving home from the North side of town. I had gone to try and buy some boots from a girl off Craigslist. They didn't fit. I drove by a house that was having it's contents emptied into a dumpster, and put by the curbside. Here is what I saw: Dirty? Yup. Worn and seen better days? Yup. Water rings? Yup. Some white paint or...

Hi There!   Here is a quick posting of our Easter Table. Nothing fancy, just pretty plates, and flowers. We got a new table by the side of the road late last summer. That's right, free! I haven't posted about it yet, but it turned out great! It ended up only costing $1 for the stain. Now that is a deal!   We had my boyfriend's parents over for dinner. It was a nice afternoon. I got these...

Master Bedroom Tour

Hi There! I have a full tour of our bedroom for you today. I had found another dresser on Craigslist, and rearranged our room up a bit. Whenever a room is clean, I like to take photos to show how good it looks. I want you to see how small this room really is. It is the largest of the three bedrooms in our little rental house, but it is still small. I took this photo from the hallway. The wall...

A few months ago, yes I wrote months, I painted our dining table and chairs. I had them all in the back yard, and it looked like the Circus came to town. So many bright and happy colors. I decide it was about time to show you how they look in the dining room.The table legs have been painted Purple. And each chair is another color. No two are the same.From the top of the table, we have...

The story of a new coffee table continues.I have been wanting a new coffee table for a while now. I've looked for one at thrift stores, garage sales, and even took a trip to Ikea. I have been wanting something square to fit in with our sectional. I just couldn't find one that worked for our living room.Here is a little backstory, last year I got a divorce and sold my house of 15 years. We had so...

A Brighter Shade of Turquoise

In my last post I painted two doors with sample pots of paint. I just love those little pots of paint. I had some coupons for free samples from Lowe's, I got a few of my favorite colors. Even at $4, they are such a good price. I have even been lucky enough to get some in the miss-tint section for .75 cents. For small painting projects they are such a good choice.My china cabinet was painted over...
