Laverne, Spring and Mixology

Blue Grey 2

Happy Wednesday.  It feels like a true Spring day around here.  Light, colorful, slight breeze, and not too hot. My dresser feels like the perfect dresser for Spring too.  I picked it up a couple of weeks ago at a Salvage Store, and was waiting for inspiration to hit. After my interview with Donna Haile [...]

Happy Monday. Don’t we all have hang ups?  This is not the place you came for Armchair Psychology.  However, trust, me I have plenty of expertise in this area I have Hang Ups, as in, places to hang your stuff up!

White is the New Red

Sectional in White 3

White is the new red!  Or…I finally got things clear in my head.  Not really, but I did get it clear in my head that using white with kids in decorating is actually O.K.! We bought this sectional when we first bought our current home, almost 10 years ago.   The Sectional came with a lovely [...]

Redoux your Nighstand With Old Dust

Santa Fe CBM Glaze 1

Happy Monday friends! Do you hate dusting?  Dusting ranks high on the scale of chores I loathe. Right after washing my kitchen floor. I would rather scrub 10 toilets than dust my house. For Real. I have somewhat taught my kids to dust the house.  Let’s face it.  They are kids and a lot of [...]

The Tale of the Secretary Who bathed in paint

Secretary AT after  2

Haha!  I got you.  I bet you thought this post was actually about a real Secretary, as in person, who actually bathed in paint! Well it isn’t. It’s about a Secretary Desk,  that was literally bathed in paint.  It came to me about two years ago, and after a half-hearted attempt to remove the Pink [...]

Straighten up and Study Right

Two Tone after 1

Happy Monday!  Before I get to my Redoux, I just wanted to do one last shameless self-promotion shout out.  I was nominated on Skinny Scoop for one of the top 25 Home Decor Blogs.  If you haven’t yet had a chance, I would SO appreciate you taking a second to head over there and “like” [...]

Dumpster Table after 2

Happy Wednesday!  If you stopped by yesterday at Trashy Tuesday, you were reminded of the mess I had on the side of my yard…..it has much improved since that photo was taken (much is a strong word).  However, I am making good on my promise to work my way through my Dumpster finds. Don’t you [...]
