It looks as if some amazingly talented artist hand painted a beautiful pattern that has aged and worn…
I came across this dirty old lamp shade at a garage sale the other day. It set me back $1. Admittedly, I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but it had good bones that spoke to me. Good bones really are the key to seeing diamonds…
It’s summer time and that means one thing at our house. Sibling rivalry is full blown. I am not sure I will ever understand the extent of ugliness that can spew out of their mouths towards each other and then, within minutes, they would take a bullet for one another. My sisters are much older…

I’m kind of an entertainment junky. There isn’t much I love more than taking my kids to a movie or watching one at home with them. Snuggling up on the couch with a home décor magazine is blissful. I have piles of useless movie trivia and celebrity stats stacked in my head. I’ve been that…
What to do when you don’t want to paint your dining room chairs, but you don’t love them as is: There is a lot of talk about painted furniture around this place. I truly love it. But every once and a while there is furniture you’re hesitant to change so dramatically. I always have to laugh when…
