A New to Me Kitchen Cabinet!- a Thrifted Makeover

I love quirky old furniture. We found this cool cabinet about an hour before an Estate sale was scheduled to close. They were giving a 50% discount on all of the marked prices. They wanted to clean out that house and have the rest of the stuff go! We got a few small items from inside the house and then saw this cabinet in the garage for $30! We paid and went home to get the van. I love a good...

Good Morning, jumping on to share a quick look at our living room gallery wall decor. But first how about a photo of a sleeping puppy? If you look closely, you can see that Pepe's eyes are open. He was a little mad that I was standing over him taking photos. And as soon as I was done, he buried himself under that throw blanket. I love that grumpy little puppy!   I just love these picture...

Leading up to Halloween I will be posting a Spooky decor or craft post everyday. I just love Halloween and I love to decorate for it.

That girl in side me just wants to get out every once in a while, you know? ;) For the photo a day challenge back in September, the theme for the last day was Treat. I...
