In my heart of hearts I believe everything can be made new. It’s one of the reason I love to make things over versus buying new things. It speaks to my heart. Today I am sharing an old tool Santa and Christmas tree. If you would like to see some other trash to treasure makeovers…
When I was young my aunt gave me a gift subscription to Seventeen Magazine every year for Christmas. I loved it. My birthday is a week before Christmas which means all my presents come at once, but that magazine came all year long. It allowed me to have something special every single month. That special…

I looked around to find some thoughtful companies that either donate items (like buy one give one campaigns), support fair…
The number one questions I get on the blog is “How do you make your homemade chalky paint recipe?”. I’ve used the same recipe to make my own chalky paint for years. Here is a short video to show you how I mix my own paint followed by tips on how and why I use…

My very favorite family recipes anchor this Thanksgiving table setting. Not actually the food but the recipes…hand written or from a typed (from a real typewriter) notecard. Little slivers of my family on paper. Maybe you could drag out the old recipe box for your very own family heirloom recipe placemats. Before I share my table, I want…
