Fabric Remnant Pillows Leftover fabric overflows at my mom's house. She hoards fabric like I do junk. We all have our vices. ;) Mom recently cleaned out her fabric supply and I lucked out! She brought a bag of remnants to my house for me to go through and I ended up with some gorgeous pillows. It's amazing what you can make out of leftovers and it really got me thinking about the good that is left when things get boiled down. It's easy to look at the leftovers as trash, extra or not enough. ... continue reading...

Tips For Chic Centerpieces on A Budget
Tips for Chic Centerpieces on a Budget This past weekend I had the pleasure of designing and decorating the tables for our local CASA Gala. First, let me fill you in on CASA - it stands for court appointed special advocate and it's an amazing organization that acts as the mediator between kids in foster care and the court system. They train volunteers to take on cases, which involves meeting with the kids, getting to know them and their story so they can step in and help the judge and court ... continue reading...

Up Your Photography Game
Today is a little off the normal topic around here, but it's something I'm passionate about. When God called me to this little blog a few years back the very first thing he told me to do was work on my photography. He told me to do this even before he told me to start a blog. Excited at my marching orders I found a photographer to sit with me and go over the basics...at the rate of $50/hour. At the time the information she shared was invaluable to me, my photography got a kick start and the one ... continue reading...

Cane Chair Makeover
Broken Cane Chair, Make It Over! These two old chairs were only $1 each! A broken cane chair and another chair missing its seat, left all alone at a garage sale because they needed work! Gaping holes that needed to be filled. Luckily I knew the fix would be relatively easy for these two chairs and my two bucks was well spent. Having a chair re-caned is almost a lost art and can be expensive. I decided to forgo the original look and create my own new look. This is a great idea if you want to ... continue reading...
