I can see Red, again!

Jackie Hill May 26, 2014 0 Comments
What is with the color Red lately? I never used to like it. Not at all. I have always been a Blue, Green, Black, Gray, or Purple kind of a girl. The cool colors on that side of the color wheel. Do you remember that from junior high art class? Anyway, I have in the past liked some Pinks and a few Yellows. But never Red. Now I am using it more and more. It can be so warm, and inviting and can...

The best Christmas present ever!

Two years ago Puente gave me the best Christmas present ever. He gave me a project. That man knows what I like. I love a good project. Something fun.Now let me give you a little background story. It is the fall of 2012, and I have dragged Puente with me thrifting. He is always so sweet to go with me. He says he likes it. And I think most of the time he does. Anyway we are at a thrift store...

14 inches of space!

Here is another look at the our kitchen. The small stove area. I love that I am taking a small room and making it into multiple postings. I still have another 3 or 4 spots to show you after this one.  ;)When we moved into our little rental house, there was this empty space near the stove.  It is 14 inches wide and there is the gas line. What to do? I went to a reuse center and bought a...

I am seeing RED!

A red painted sideboard for the kitchen.I got this sideboard for $5 at a garage sale. I had to call a friend to come pick it up for me, he had a station wagon. This was at a time when I had a small business painting furniture. I would get things at garage sales, thrift stores or by the side of the road. Sometimes I would come home to a chair or table on my front porch. It's nice when people just...

I love Target. I can't say that enough. I love the quality, the selection, the prices. I go at least once a week, and spend at least $50. Now I get everything there, food, clothes, shoes, household cleaners, movies, sheets, towels, make-up, the list goes on and on. And I love when they mark things down on clearance. So many things I have gotten when they were marked down. The clock in my dining...

How do you style an odd little built in?

Jackie Hill April 14, 2014 0 Comments
Okay, I am not sure how you would style it. And I would be curious to know, but here is what I did. As you may remember I had this odd little built in, in the dining room. It was plain and boring, so I put some wrapping paper on the back wall to give it some interest. I still love the pattern it gives. As you can probably tell, I love blues, greens, black, white, and silver. Puente and I...

Hey Kids, I know I haven't posted in a while. The winter has been bad, which I know everyone already knows. But I have had a real hard time getting motivated. I have done projects, and taken photos, just have not felt like posting. I want to thank everyone for waiting. I have a few things to show you that I did this winter, and quite a few things in the works. I can't wait to show you, so here we...

What to do with an Odd little built in

Jackie Hill February 10, 2014 0 Comments
 You may remember this  odd little built in from the dining room tour. It's not very deep, only 3 inches. Not much you can do with it. I can't paint it, as I have said before I'm renting this little house. It is just so much white in a tiny room, I want color and pattern!Just deep enough for a few wine glasses and some little knickknacks. Enter a $1 roll of wrapping paper, blue...
