Several months ago, I was driving down the road when out of the corner of my eye I spotted some old shutters that someone had thrown out by the side of the road. So, being the great thrifty shopper I am, I “made a legal U-turn” {as my inner GPS lady told me to do}…

Chalk Paint Mirror Makeover
One of the first things I wanted to change about our new {to us} 1980-ish condo on the beach was the Gold Mirror hanging on the wall across from the dining room table. You know the one – you’ve seen it before, it looks like this: …
Cottage Chic Decor
I love Cottage Chic. Do you know what Cottage Chic is? I looked it up in the dictionary and, guess what, ‘word not found‘. So, I guess Cottage Chic is defined in the mind of the beholder, right? The pictures on the left (when there are two or more) represent what I defined as Cottage…
Beach Cottage Chic
We are finally here! We are at our Condo in Gulf Shores. We purchased it in April and this is our first trip here. We flew into New Orleans and then drove here and arrived at 4:00 a.m.. It’s taken a few days to recover from that little adventure. We have had one weekend with…
Treasures
Now you guys know that I absolutely love love love White Ironstone, right? So, imagine my surprise when I rounded the corner and came upon this little lovely. She was just sitting there singing to me in the tune of one of the Beatles songs ( don’t remember the name of it (shoot!))…
Twas the night after Christmas (2011) . . . .
I looked forward to this Christmas Day (yesterday) for so long! Every day since we got home from Florida (Dec. 2, 2011) has been spent decorating or shopping or cooking or wrapping or all of the above in preparation for the big day(yesterday). My husband’s parents visited a lot when our kids were…
Duck Egg Blue Upcycled Breadbox
Hi guys, Hope you are having a great Saturday! I finished my Breadbox and I’m so excited to see if you like it. The unpainted side shown in this photo is how it looked when I found it – your basic stained knotty pine breadbox. I think it’s from the 70′s, but I couldn’t swear…
ASCP Upcycled Mirror
I finished my upgrade of the Blah Black Rectangle Mirror I’ve been working on. It always feels soooo good to finish a project, doesn’t it? I found this mirror at a local garage sale. The bottom has a small chip and the frame was a dark black that pretty much hid a lot of the…
ASCP Projects & A Prayer Request
As you may know from some of my previous posts, I am really into Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (ASCP). In fact, every time I sell something on Etsy, I save the money until I have saved enough to buy new paint. My latest additions are Cream and Paris Grey. I wanted to show you some…
Great TV Table!
I found this great TV table, or great low coffee table for a good price at one of my local haunts here in Prescott, AZ. I love it! It’s got great style with bead board on the sides and back and I can’t wait to get…
