Remember the little brown table that I found in my neighbors trash just across the street. It had been left out in the weather and was almost done. Lets just say the pulse was weak and frail. I rescued it and planned my redo. Today was supposed to be the day of its reveal. I started the refurbish and it didn’t go as planned. I began over 10 days ago, I knew it would be a challenge but, I had...

This piece isn’t that crappy. Really, you could move it right in and use it “as is” if you needed to. It’s yellow orangish stain gives it away as a 90’s piece. Found on the side of the road left for the garbage man. Kinda sad because it has so much more to give just needs a quick update. So that is what I did, I gave it a shabby chic update. Just like the piano bench on Mondays blog...

Todays crappy to happy is a bonus. I piled up 5 little items to show you how simple it is to change something from trash to recycled in just an afternoon. When I trash troll it’s not always a winning run. Sometimes you drive all over several neighborhoods and you get nothing. That isn’t the only way I gather things to redo. Friends give me things, I buy from auctions, thrift stores, estate sales and garage sale. The greatest thing...

Oh my goodness if you ride in my truck with me no matter where we are going beware. No matter the occasion or if we are all dressed up if I see a treasure on the side of the road I’m stopping. If its to large or to heavy you are getting out of the truck to help. Recently my friend Christy experienced that, she is still talking to me so I guess she was ok with it. I’m having...

I’m writing this blog on Sunday evening with a smile on my face. School starts tomorrow and I had a to do list a mile long. This time of year I feel the need to get everything done that my crazy little head thinks up. Trust me when I say the list is long, over done and somewhat ridiculous. I know this about myself but every time there is a big event in my life or small I still expect...
