Being Nominated And Going After Your Dreams
Last year was a pretty amazing year for me. I was blessed with some amazing opportunities. My goal was to make it happen and I did. It wasn't luck, it was chasing after my dreams. I wasn't afraid to put myself out there and take chances. Many people asked me how I got my signature paint colors, with Heirloom Traditions paint. This is what happened.

Upgrade Your Thrift Shop Find
Upgrade Your Thrift Shop Find Upgrade your new thrifty find easily and for very little money! I don't like spending lots of money because, hey I'm cheap. If I wasn't so cheap I wouldn't be shopping at thrift shop, right ;-) Yes I adore shabby style and this little thrifty upgrade is going to transform this crappy little table into a shabby treasure! (This post contains affiliate links, please read disclosure policy) I must admit that I have a wondering eye. When I am out and about, traveling or treasure hunting my eyes are always drawn to things that are imperfect. And it's not always a piece of furniture, or architectural piece. Sometimes it's an old home, the colors, the shape and style. And sometimes it's a brick wall. Have you ever heard of ghost signs? I'm not talking about an ... View Post
Easy Furniture Makeover
Have you ever mumbled the words " I will never", "No, not ever". Yeah, me too! I've said those words so many times, with true meaning too. At the time I said those words, I felt passionate about those words. Like the time I said I would never paint my media cabinet. And.....I finally did. You can read about that easy furniture makeover HERE. Or the time I said, that I would never paint my china cabinet..... And I finally did! In fact, I've painted that piece several times, you can see how it looks now HERE. But, in the beginning stages of blogging, I shared this cabinet. I've had this cabinet for many years. I fell head over heels in love with this cabinet. The curvy glass, the sexy legs, the detail.....sigh. When I spotted this cabinet many years ago, I envisioned ... View Post
Easy DIY Valentine Wreath
Before I share this easy DIY Valentine wreath, I need to ask, have I ever shared the story of my Valentine? We'll many years ago, like back in the 80's, do you remember the 1980's? I fell head over heals in love with this really cute, skinny guy with lots of curly hair. Well, actually, I didn't fall in love with him the moment I met him. He actually spotted me first. It was 1982, and I was at a party with friends. Those "friends" turned out not to be my friends, but that's a whole other story. So, I walked into the room, he spotted me from across the room. Our eyes met, and he fell head over heels in love with me. Or that's what I was told. Just like a Hollywood movie. But you see, I didn't fall in love with him....not yet ;-) Yes, this cute skinny guy with the curly hair ... View Post
