Lots of different things to share today. I am so happy the sun is out.Is it out where you are at? I hope so because I am one of those people who needs sun. And around here in the winter we can go days or weeks with out the sun. It can be really depressing. Which is why I LOVE to have flowers in my home this time of the year.

While we are waiting for the  reveal of  my daughters room makeover I thought I would share a piece that I just brought into her room. It was in much need of repair so I knew paint would look amazing on this piece. Some may cringe when they see the before photo and wonder why I would paint such a lovely piece. But as I said it needed much repair. Parts of the wood were chipping off. Some water damage too. But since I knew what I wanted to do and was looking for a distressed piece that was going to work for my benefit. Isn't this a lovely piece! This dresser was found at a thrift store. My original intent was to paint this and sell it.But after thinking about it I could not part with it. That mirror is not original to this piece.But was found at a thrift ... View Post
