For years I have been creating Elf on the shelf mischievous ideas for my Grandkids… and truth be known, it was for the adults too. We started this tradition 5 years ago when my daughter in law gave me the elf on a shelf as a gift to share with my Grandkids. Of course, I […]
Why am I so drawn to primitive furniture? Maybe it’s the simplicity of the piece and a simpler time. The moment I saw this pie safe I knew immediately what I wanted to do to it to add to its already primitive look. Classic black meets primitive furniture. This post contains a few affiliate links […]
Today I wanted to share with you my top 10 favorite upcycled furniture creations. This past year has been so good to me and I have been blessed to come across some cool pieces. It can be difficult at times even in my junking community, but my key to finding good makeovers is sometimes just […]
My friends laugh at me when I tell them that my car automatically starts to shimmy and slows down when garages sales and curbside junk is near. I ain’t even kidding!

The hardest part would be removing the oil-based paint, but I have just the product for the job. It’s not every […]
Hello friends! I’ve been admiring all the beautiful deer head wall decor for some time but just couldn’t bring myself to having a real animal staring at me. It’s kinda creepy. So, I decided to create my own deer head and add a copper patina to it. While at Hobby Lobby and by total accident […]
When I think of a bathtub caddy tray, I think of a fancy lady of leisure. You know, the one that lives in our head. All put together and rolls out of bed, looking like she just stepped out of a magazine. SCRRRRREEECH! Back to reality. That doesn’t exist. But it’s fun to imagine while […]
