I had the pleasure of sitting next to Rashon Carraway at a local Goodwill luncheon the other day. He’s Mr. Goodwill Hunting in blogland and has a refreshing style and knows his way around a thrift shop. That’s his living room above. He’s so talented that Nate Berkus keeps calling him to do makeovers. And you won’t believe what Rashon can do with a measly $300

This dresser island has been floating around Pinterest. I’ve yet to find the original source. But GENIUS!

I can’t get this cluster of paper lanterns out of my head.

Or this cluster from Genifer Goodman Sohr‘s home featured in Undecorate.
If this light
And this light got married and had a baby….

It would be this $10 Moooi Random Hacked version @ Remodelholic. {we are a family blog, notice how I made sure the lights were committed to each other in wedlock before they had a baby?}

I loved this post about taking a risk and then getting creative go read about a little slipcover miracle via Young House Love.


























Ha! Making sure your blog stays in the family genre…
That dresser island is awesome! I know what I’m looking for now.
LOVE the orb lights..ma, pa & baby……Dresser/island, very smart!
the dresser island – amazing!
I love those clusters also. Wish my daughter was younger and I would do that in her room. Why can’t they stay 5 years old? 20 hasn’t been fun…hoping she gets her brain back soon. haha
“we are a family blog…” haha made me laugh.
What a great video clip, I loved her reaction. He’s definitely a talented guy! And that blue desser island is faaabulous. Also, thanks for keepin’ things clean (and funny!) with the lights, if there’s anything that I hate it’s lights going and having light babies all willy nilly ;)
Awesome ideas – I love the ‘Papa’ light – where did you find that?
Ooops, I meant to link google “LeMonde Chandelier” and then hit images and you’ll see lots of photos and stores at different price points. I’ve seen a similar one at One Kings Lane for around $300 or $400
Thanks Nester! We love that light and plan to put it in our foyer – when we can find a good way to reach it anyway!
Thank you so much for including me in your bird watching post. Seriously I couldnt believe I was sitting next to the Nester!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait until we meet again!
HUGE fan!
Rashon aka Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Hey Ronnie, it’s Erin from high school!! Just discovered you on Nate Berkus and now on this blog! SO RANDOM!!!!
LOL @ the wedlock! The baby makes me want to take down a light, any light, in our house and put something like that up. So fun!
I love that cluster of lanterns, too! Wow.
I stumbled onto your blog and love it!! I have been looking for an inexpensive way to decorate my front porch and the paper lantern idea is just the right thing. Thanks.
I love the blue dresser, now island. Genius is right. I am going to be
moving soon, and I can’t wait to use the idea. Thank you!!!!
Oh my gosh you made me spit out my tea when I read the part about lamps having babies! haha
The reaction of the person who got her house made over was so sweet. Mr. Goodwill Hunting’s blog is new to me, and he, and his blog seem awesome! Thanks for that link!
I caught Rashon on Nate’s show a couple of weeks ago and immediately became a follower. I just love his style and personality. I bet he was a hoot at the luncheon!
Loved the Rashan video. I would love to have him come to my house.
Love that cluster and the colors. Gorgeous!
“family blog” — it made me giggle :)

All kinds of droolery. The undecorated bedroom. The room with the fully- legitimate child of the two lamps.
You’re good to us.
“droolery” is now my new favorite word
THANK YOU so much for mentioning Remodelaholic and the light fixture! You just made my morning! THANK YOU!!!
love your blog! love your sense of design! love this post!
do you happend to have a source for that ‘orb’ metal light with the little glass ball on the bottom?
thanks a million!!
Hi,
I am following your blog. It is wonderful. I too have seen this blue dresser turned kitchen island. I do believe that I saw it the first time on the Better Homes and Gardens website.
Thank you for all the wonderful information. I love the bird watching post.
OMG, I NEED that chevron rug, any idea where I can look for it?
