Talk of the Town # 29

It’s Tuesday, and time for a little update. After binge watching season 1 episodes of Poldark, lounging in the hot tub, and having a maid to make the bed, I decided I want to move into a hotel. 🙂 Seriously though, I did have to drag myself away from the little getaway I took with my daughter, but I took my time coming home so I could just enjoy the drive. I didn’t buy much while I was gone, but I did find {Read More}

Cheap Office Organizer Out of Tin Cans

I have a quick, cheap, and easy project to show you today, but first, breaking news… I went on a little getaway with my daughter (that’s not the breaking news part). She needed to go out of town to take some classes for her job, and I went with her. Be patient…that’s not the breaking news part either. 🙂 When we arrived at our hotel, they gave us the usual card key for our room, and as I stood in front of our room’s {Read More}

How Not to Give a Folding Chair a Makeover

I woke up yesterday morning on a mission. I was going to march straight out to my workshop, grab the first piece of junk I laid eyes on, and do something amazing with it. I wouldn’t look at Facebook or check my email first. Junk first – Facebook later. That WAS the plan…

Junky Door Wall Vase

Last year, we decided to get a new quote on our house insurance. It seemed like a great idea … until the insurance man showed up at my door. He showed up at my door unannounced. He showed up at my door unannounced … with his camera. I stood in the doorway, babbling like an idiot, about why that wasn’t a good day, and could he come back next week?

Ladder Plant Stand Blooming in the Guest Room

I usually fill the rungs of the  ladder in my guest room with old things, but it occurred to me that since the ladder sits right next to the window, I should take advantage of that natural light and use it as a plant stand – at least through the summer and fall months. I took down the cafe lights I had hung in there (seen here), because I’m hoping to move the lights to either our front patio or back {Read More}

What to do with these Recent Finds? You Tell Me!

Before I left for New Mexico, I picked up some great finds.  Some of the pieces can be used as-is for home decor, but I’m not sure what to do with a few of the pieces, so I figured I’d just “poll the audience” and get your ideas. First I’ll show you the pieces that don’t have me stumped, then I’ll show you the ones I don’t know what to do with, and I hope you’ll give me your favorite ideas! This {Read More}
