Road Side Makeover

Auction, before & afters, blue happy, DIY, Home Decor, Project, recycled, Redo & Renew, Restored Life, Rustic Warehouse, Rusty By Design Auction

It’s true that I’m given most of the things I makeover. If not given to me I find them on the side of the road left for the trash truck to pick up. I also shop garage sales, thrift stores and auction houses. How you get an item free or not doesn’t make the work you put in to the piece value any less. There is sanding, repairs, painting, sanding back to give it that shabby chic look and the...

My Upside Down Day

Auction, blue happy, Project, Restored Life

All day I’ve been running behind and dropped my keys a hundred times. I locked my keys in the bathroom at school. I got lucky and Mr. Dye was still there and let me into the bathroom so I could go home. I forgot I had promised to meet someone for lunch, dropped a full can of chalk paint and the new puppy won every battle today. I couldn’t seem to recover my day no matter what I tried. I...

Sometimes You Just Wanna Have Fun

Auction, bargin, before & afters, blue happy, DIY, Doc Holliday Emporium, Home Decor, Project, Restored Life

Don’t get me wrong I love what Blue Happy has brought to our lives. Never the less we are so busy that every moment of our week, weekend and month are planned out. I do some kind of redo almost every day. If I’m not sanding, painting or repairing I’m out picking and trash trolling. Not to mention I’m still a teacher, grandmother, mother and wife. Ever so often I wake up and think I wanna do something fun today....

Months ago I removed the stools from my kitchen because they were so dangerous. They were way to tall and often people who visited would fall over. My kitchen has hard tile floors. When my grandson fell over and hit his head that was it. The stools were really tall with a base that was too small. So when you would sit on them they toppled over easy. I didn’t want to trash them so I turned them into other...

Will It Last Forever?

Auction, before & afters, blue happy, DIY, Doc Holliday Emporium, Home Decor, Project, recycled, Redo & Renew, Restored Life, shabby chic, Trash Trolling, vintage

So many things in our lives are disposable these days. Nothing is made to last anymore as we become a society that takes no stock in the long life of what we purchase. We buy for the moment in most cases with no thought of years down the road. Years ago families had the same dresser that their parents started house keeping on. Furniture was passed down for decades from family to family. None of this buying new stuff every...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
