Best Yard Sale Finds EVER

best yard sale finds EVER

Last week we talked about how yard sales are a great way to add beauty and purpose to your home without spending a bunch of cash or going into debt.  I love to see what other people have found at yard sales, even though at times I get pretty jealous of an amazing deal.  I’m [...]

Decorating With Stumps When You are Stumped

stump tables

I have this weird angled wall in our foyer/entryway area that you see right when you walk in the front door.  I knew I wanted something tall, thin, unexpected and inexpensive.  And it sat empty for a long time until I saw these two fat stumps with the bark already removed at Angela’s house.  I [...]

They Lie

Picture 9

I received a little catalog from a reputable furniture company the other day. It’s so easy to see pretty pictures and read words and find yourself thinking that all you have to do is simply agree to pay $271 measly dollars a month for 3 short years and you’ll have your one room full of [...]

Spray Painted Urns

So yesterday I mentioned the map paper I bought at Bebe Gallini’s.  I wrapped some old canvases that I had laying around with the paper for instant art.  Some of you wanted a little more information and if you aren’t yet sick of people talking about map art, I’ll be glad to ramble on about [...]

Pops of Color

At Christmas I found these stunning flowers.  Who cares that they aren’t red and green. Injecting color into even the neutralist of homes is one of the easiest ways to liven up a space. A pair of yellow knobs from Anthropologie completely changed the feel of my second hand painted armiore. That can of spray [...]
