Thrifted Cabinet into Farmhouse Style Bookcase

Thrifted Cabinet into Farmhouse Style Bookcase I’m the queen of slamming on my brakes and making random U-turns. Unless I’m on my way to a wedding or a funeral, if I spot a yard sale or antique store, you better be prepared to make some stops along the way if you’re riding with me. This is one of those random U-turn projects. 🙂

Brown and Blah to Farmhouse Style Thrift Store Lamp Makeover

Farmhouse Style Thrift Store Lamp Makeover I made a quick run into the thrift store last week hoping to find some old metal fryer baskets like the ones I have hanging in my kitchen.  But I walked out with … a lamp.  Does that happen to you? It happens with me All. The. Time! I didn’t think I really needed a lamp, but but the price good, so in the cart it went. What clinched the deal for me though was {Read More}

Talk of the Town #83

I’m sooo glad my husband finished up the last small project on our back porch remodel.  I shot the photos today and will be sharing it tomorrow evening.  Even though I had to twist his arm a bit to talk him into the project, I’ve already caught him sitting out there several times.  So I know he’s glad we did it.  I use the word “we” pretty liberally, because it was at least 95% his work.  We actually still need to {Read More}

July Monthly Recap

Welcome to the 3rd edition of my monthly recaps! July was a more relaxing month than May and June since we didn’t do any traveling.  My mom and niece did come to visit and we had a great time visiting extended family, having a “girls’ night out” at a cabin at the lake, and going to Six Flags together.  I worked on fewer projects this month so I could just enjoy their visit.

Weekending | Five for Friday

Have you watched Dunkirk at the theater yet?  My family and I saw it a few days ago.  As war movies go, it has very little harsh language or graphic violence, yet tells the fact-based story so beautifully.  The performances by Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh were particularly moving.  I highly recommend it! 1.  The last few gladiolus are blooming in my farmhouse junk garden.  They put on such an amazing display this summer, and I can’t wait to plant {Read More}
