Weeks ago I came across a sheepskin rug,it looks like a Pottery Barn sheepskin rug and may very well be from Pottery Barn. I have been drooling wanting one of these rugs since seeing them photographed in one of my favorite magazines Jeanne d'arc. But it was not something I really needed to spend money on right now. And still I kept searching thrift shops and antique shops hoping to find one and finally did! This sheepskin rug was 20.00 found at a thrift shop. Let me say that it may seem like I find something every time I walk into a thrift shop or antique shop. But that could not be farther from the truth. I am out treasure shopping often driving from shop to shop. I can go for weeks or months and not find a single thing. And then there are times that I am there at the right ... View Post

A chandelier adds  sparkle to a room,don't you agree? Ever since I was a child I was always drawn to things with glitz and sparkle. I was also drawn to lip gloss that had that pretty shimmer and shine. It's no wonder that I love adding a little sparkle  into every room in my home. I recently shared that I added a chandelier to my bedroom. with my master bedroom make over. You can read about it HERE. I had to use the chandelier from my family room to do this. You can read about that HERE in my fall home tour. I knew I wanted to keep my chandelier in my bedroom and also keep one in my family room. I found this at Hobby Lobby,and if you remember I said I wanted to wait until it went on sale. And this week it did so I picked one up. Over the summer I found an old standing lamp ... View Post

This leather chair was found recently.As soon as I saw it I new I would be painting a leather chair. Something I have not painted yet is leather. I did paint a fabric chair that now feels like leather thanks to Annie Sloan paint and a little wax! You can read about that HERE This chair is for our desk in our den. A room I really don't show,because it is a work in progress. This photo was taken with my phone hence it being a little grainy. We had a leather chair in this room already but it was badly ripped,and was much too large for this room. This chair was 10.00 it does have a few small tears but I thought being so cheap maybe I could find a way to salvage it. I am a risk taker I have told you that before,never afraid to try something different I decided to go for it! First ... View Post

When I revealed my master bedroom I was missing one piece of furniture,my new chippy side table. Actually it is a vintage wash stand. Over the summer I spotted this lovely piece at one of my favorite  antique shop's.   When I first saw this chippy table the first time I passed it up. I did not have a spot for it and as much as I adored the chippy pink paint with this perfect aged patina I passed it up! But when I decided to change things around in my bedroom I thought this would look perfectly. Actually truth be told after reading and drooling over Rachel Ashwell's book a  light bulb went off in my head. This washstand makes a wonderful side table. I took the piece off that was used to hang hand towels. It did not seem to work with my mirror on my wall and for now I ... View Post

I recently came across this sweet little red tractor.I knew it would fit in well with my farmhouse kitchen. I fell for the perfectly chippy red paint. A child's toy at one time now adorns the shelf above my refrigerator  in my kitchen. At first I thought this might be a perfect match for my old farmhouse. When you look at it from this perspective it seems to work. But as you get a little closer you realize that the tractor is a bit too big for that sweet farmhouse. Yes I think this little tractor fits perfectly in this kitchen.     Chippy paint....and all!   Today at Live Creatively Inspired I am sharing how to make a headband without sewing!
