I got a call from a friend of mine about a head-board for her bed. She had acquired the head-board from a friend in a barter trade. She wanted advice on how to redo it. I dropped by her house admired it for a while then gave her advice on how to go about restoring it. The bed was beautiful and had such great character in all the carvings. After I left in the next few days things changed for...

When I go to estate sales I see so many things that people once used and then stack it up with lots of other things in a closet or the garage. Items that serve you great in one room of your home then kicked out when no longer needed. They find better ways to organize things or they just don’t need it any more. I’ve decided to take those things that are old, tossed aside and re-use them in other...

This makeover was really fun because I found a piece that I had no idea how in the world I would fix it. While trash trolling on the way home from the gym on a Wednesday morning things weren’t going to good. I had nothing in the back of my truck despite the fact I had gone through at least 3 neighborhoods. One last street and then home and that’s when I saw it. There was an odd shape sticking...

Wanna decorate your home cheap but with style. Here is the secret thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales and auctions. It is way more effort than just going to a store and buying it, but it is cheaper. The payoff is more than saving money. The payoff is sitting back and looking at it when its done. Knowing that you did this on a dime, well that’s the bonus. I love my home and that isn’t a secret that...

So junking for me is an everyday event. If I’m not pulling off the road to grab someone’s toss out’s I’m stopping at a garage, estate or thrift sale to fill my truck. One thing I love to do is put things on wheels. Those wheels can get expensive if I don’t find them used in one of the ways listed. Recently I came across a heck of a deal at the Helping Hands in Rockwall Texas. I found two...

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.
