Before and after pictures of DIY décor, upcycle projects and furniture flips. I love shopping garage sales, thrift stores and curbside to makeover junk, here is the documenting of those DIY transformations!

Swamp to backyard oasis: ok guys! Welcome to our backyard. Be prepared. There was a swamp here. No Photoshop editing, it was really this bad. I have lots of pictures to share today. I just remember the layers and layers we went through to get the junk out of the yard. We unearthed skillets, clothes,…
Curb Appeal. It’s a real thing. This house had none. It was overgrown and in major disarray. Especially to two people who owned a landscape construction company. Honestly the yard didn’t scare us too much. It was the one thing we knew we could fix. The rest of the house was a little more…
Broken Headboard Bench Hit the brakes. As we drove past the Goodwill I could see it out of the corner of my eye. This crazy cool headboard. Knowing me like he does my husband was already turning the car around. Bless him. As I nonchalantly approached my find I was preparing a go price in my…
Garage Turned Guest Cottage Makeover I’m not sure what made us decide to turn the garage into a guest house, but it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. With both sets of parents living out of town it was really meant to be a place for them to stay when they visit. It…
See how I created something from nothing with this free basket makeover! A few weeks ago my daughter and I had an afternoon to ourselves. All the boys in our lives were out of town. Sweet girl time. We made our way through a few thrift shops and got one item I was particularly proud…
I have been putting this room off. It is my current decorating project. I just can’t get our master bedroom to look the way I want it to. Probably because I don’t really know what I want it to look like. That’s a problem when decorating 🙂 Therefore, I have decided to show you one…
Not long ago my girl and I had some time to thrift, just the two of us. It was a fun afternoon. I unearthed some wooden salad bowls destined for a makeover! We stopped by one of my regular hot spots where we acquired 5 wooden salad bowls. Two large serving bowls and three little…
I think part of the reason this house was on the market so long before we bought it was the master bath. It was a deal breaker. Tiny, cramped, a weird shade of pink with carpet from the 70’s. In the bathroom. Around the toilet. I mean, gross. I’m not gonna lie. It took some…
Shutter To Do List a great kitchen command center to keep your family organized When I saw these mini shutters at a garage sale for $5 I couldn’t pass them up. I had no plan but tucked them away in mind, knowing a project would surface. With the school year approaching I established a personal…
When we moved into this house my husband said, “I bet we never use this room.” He didn’t think the room would ever feel comfortable because it was big and seems kind of removed from the rest of our living spaces. He should know better. We’ve been married a while. I took that as a…
Ah the tween years. That in between stage of still playing with dolls, but over the Disney princesses. She is starting to be nose down into her ipod and having a blast with our instagram summer fun project. It is an exciting age. Decorating for this transition age was exciting too. I really wanted her room to be her comfy space,…
Recycled Mailbox Sorter Updated with Hardware My back to school organizing mode has kicked into full swing though! So much to do…school supplies, clothes, event and activity planning. I have a few projects I will be sharing over the coming weeks to help you get organized, of course in a junky fun way. This mailbox…
This sweet little room all started with a light fixture. I found it a Lowe’s and it was the first thing I bought in our renovation story.One tip that I think equals success in decorating is having a jumping off point. A piece of inspiration if you will. I find it unbearably hard to start…
My mom (aka Deedles) and I were out one Friday combing garage sales as we are known to do. She really wanted to get my daughter a jewelry box given the new state of her pierced ears and all the earrings that come along with that. We found this ginormous jewelry box (from Lori Greiner of…
My boy’s bathroom. Usually a boy bathroom is not much to speak of. Let’s face it, young boys can be a mess. Mine are no exception, but I love their bathroom so much that I can walk through it and not get bothered by the towels on the floor and the missed toilet now…
