No Sew Window Treatment Making a curtain from a vintage sheet was the first thing that came to my mind when I spotted this cool vintage sheet. I fell for the soft faded colors, that are just perfect for my farmhouse kitchen. I bet you can't tell that my window treatment is actually a bed sheet. My patio door has been a challenge when it came to adding a window treatment. I needed some privacy, but I didn't want to add blinds to this door. This bed sheet was the perfect solution.

I know, I know, I need to get a sewing machine! I know how easy it would be to sew easy things like curtains and ... View Post
Things To Do In Kentucky On Your Visit
Things To Do In Kentucky Before I talk about things to do in Kentucky, I wanted to share why I was in Kentucky. A few weekends ago I attended a Heirloom Traditions Deminar in Kentucky, and it as so much fun! Paula Blankenship had asked me to share a demonstration. This was one of the first times I've ever done something like that. I was a little nervous, but managed to do it. If you had told me years ago that I would be speaking in front of a group of people I would have laughed in your face. I wasn't always outgoing. When I was a child I was very shy in group settings. Not so much with people, but I hated getting up in front of my peers, that was scary! I'm sure you remember those days of getting up in front of the class to speak. That was awful! Attending this deminar meant that I ... View Post
Mature Ladies Must Have Makeup And More!
Mature Ladies Must Have Makeup And More! Mature ladies skin is much different than youthful skin. I know this personally as my skin has made some major changes over the past few years. You may or may not know this, but I'm a licensed cosmetologist, I no longer work in a salon, and I haven't for years. But I do still keep up my license. One of the perks is getting hair products at a discounted price. While I was in cosmetology school, and when I was working at a salon, I took classes in the art of makeup. I love using makeup, it's the artist it me. As I've gotten a little older, and my skin has gotten a little more mature, I've had to change the way I apply my makeup, and I've also changed what I've been using on my face. Years ago my skin was really oily, it drove me nuts, because ... View Post
Home Designer Trends Traditional Home Magazine
Home Design Trends Traditional Home Magazine As I mentioned in my last post, it's been a whirl wind lately. Last weekend I attended a demimar for the paint company Heirloom Traditions which I am a brand ambassador with . I'll be sharing more on that soon. But a few days after that event, I was checking my email and I had an invitation to attend an event hosted by Ethan Allen and Traditional Home magazine. I knew that this would be an event sharing home designer trends, I sort of had to pinch myself when I saw this in my email. (This is a sponsored post, all opinions are that of my own, see disclosure policy) This event was short notice, but I jumped at the chance to attend. My friend Jennifer Rizzo was also invited to this event. We were asked to bring a friend along, since it was ... View Post
Ethan Allen And Traditional Home
Ethan Allen Grand Reopening Event In Skokie Ethan Allen is one of the most luxurious but livable furniture lines. The quality of furniture is amazing along with the style. When you're purchasing furniture that you want to last for years in your home, high quality is so important. You don't want to replace things every couple of years because it was cheaply made. (This is a sponsored post, please read disclosure policy) You know that I'm all about budgeting, but some things are better bought for quality and not so much for the price. I know that in our next home our furniture will be our main focus rather than the accessories as I'm doing the "less is more" look in my home. I'm planning on purchasing a slip covered sofa, along with a few side chairs. I'm not sure if we'll end up ... View Post
Outdoor Space That Has Beautiful Style
Outdoor Space That Has Beautiful Style My outdoor space has just been given a super quick update. And for very little money I gave my outdoor space style. Oh, and I wanted to thank you all for sharing your thoughts and ideas, they were super helpful. If you missed it, you can read about that HERE. (This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosure policy) I was thinking of purchasing a new table and chair set, but you've convinced me to wait and use what I already have. So, I went out and purchased several cans of Krylon Color Master paint in white satin. My brown chairs really sucked up this paint. It took two cans of paint for each chair. I also painted my green bounce chair using this same paint, this took a can of paint. My next dilemma was what cushions to get ... View Post
