Master Bedroom Makeover Our master bedroom was ready for a little update. Nothing earth shattering, but it needed a little update. This was achieved easily and for very little money. Yes, I'm using mostly what I already had. (This post contains affiliate links, please ready disclosure policy) FAB is actually a product that I used on my fabric chair to paint it :-) It was created by Heirloom Traditions paint, and helps the paint adhere and not crack on the fabric. Heirloom Traditions paint is a chalk type paint, and it will adhere to practically anything. And I've already shared how to paint on fabric using Heirloom Traditions paint. I noticed on a few pieces on some of the fabric the paint started cracking. Personally I didn't mind some of the cracking on the pieces that I painted, ... View Post
Shabby Chippy Patina
Shabby Patina I love shabby patina, how many times have you heard me say that. Probably a million times. Well I guess it depends on how long you've been following me. If you just started then maybe you've only heard it a few times. Believe me, I say this a lot. If I am out treasure hunting and I spy a perfectly chippy piece, my heart skips a beat. Yeah it totally does, I'm not just saying that. My family thinks I am crazy at times, because it doesn't have to be a piece of furniture with chippy piece. We can be out for a walk and if I spot a piece of chippy paint, I sort of lose it a little. I grab my phone, start taking photos, so I can keep that photo and drool over it. I really do, I'm not kidding. I love the beauty of age except when it's on my face. So when I am painting a piece ... View Post
Re-Screening The Porch
I am so excited today, I feel like Dora The Explorer, and I want to jump up and down singing, we did it, we did it! Why am I so excited? My husband and I re-screened our new screened porch. Yeah, a year and a half later I am re-screening the porch. Would you like to know why? Here she is..... Yes, she is a pretty sweet cat, but I wasn't happy at what she did to my porch. But in her defense, it was not her fault, so of course I was not mad at her. Anyway how could you be mad at that sweet face? Several weeks ago she was accidentally left on our porch over night. And it was not my fault, my husband and daughter were up late, and forgot to make sure she was back in the house. Lesson learned the hard way! We are not sure if she was terrified, trying to catch bugs, bored, or had ... View Post
Let’s Talk About Menopause
Were going to drift slightly away from decorating today. Well more than slightly! Let's talk about menopause. If you are not going through this you may want to listen anyway. You are in store for a good time! I am hoping that if you are reading this, it may make you laugh and realize that you are not going through it alone. Let's go back before I started "The Change". I have always been a fit person. But during my High School years I had very poor eating habits. I think my lunch was a hostess cherry pie, and I am not sure if I even had breakfast. I wasn't fat, but I wasn't fit. I know, I ate so healthy then! Well a cherry pie does have fruit in it ;-) Still, I exercised and I knew that if I stopped eating the junk food I would lose weight. It always came off ... View Post
Accent Wall Created Using A Stencil
Accent Wall Since we are planning to put our house on the market in a few years, I don't want to do any major projects just yet. The carpets need to be replaced and our walls need a fresh coat of paint. But my bedroom needed a fresh look, like now. Well, actually it's needed it for awhile. I was tired of a few things, including the space above our headboard. I don't like an empty space above our bed, but I didn't want something hanging on the wall again. So I thought it would be fun to add an accent wall using a Cutting Edge stencil. Here is what it looked like before I started. Well sort of, this photo was taken last summer. (This is a sponsored post, and contains affiliate links. Please read disclosure policy) I took the curtain down, and those faux metal pieces off of the wall. ... View Post
I Have Been Busy And Other Ramblings
I have been really busy the last couple of weeks. But I have done zip around my house! Well I have cleaned my house, but nothing as far as projects until yesterday. Here's why I have been busy and other ramblings! I decided to take a week off of blogging, then the following week my husband took a week off of work that I sort of forgot about. We had no trips planned, but we did have a day in Chicago planned. Back in December my husband purchased tickets to see U2 at the United Center. And as luck would have it, he won tickets for a night stay at a hotel downtown. We got very lucky with the weather, as most of this summer has been rainy and cold! I don't have photos to share of our weekend, unless you follow me on Instagram, then you can see some of the photos there. It was a ... View Post
