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...

It was the end of September and I wanted to decorate for Halloween, but I also wanted to wait until October 1st before the Scary stuff came out. Here is a quick look at how I merged a late fall look that could easily go Dark for Halloween. Here come the Pumpkins... Fall colors for me are...

The Summer is over, and the Fall is here. But I have so many photos of how lovely our yard looked this year. I thought today it would be fun if I shared a few of my favorites. We had such lovely weather all summer that we were able to really enjoy it. We had a couple of parties, had about half of our meals on the patio, and started countless days in the yard with a cup of coffee. You should be...

Old stuff- I love it! Worn, used, and loved. But sometimes an old item needs a new life.

He had a few paint drips here and there. Both steps were a bit rusty and the legs were rusty too at the feet. He was still...
