My living room has this light fixture. When I first moved here I thought it was soooo cute but now that I have changed my whole angle on the house the light is not looking too good to me. At All. Period And now I am even wondering…what was I thinking? Oh yeah, I remember … Continue reading
I ordered my furniture a few weeks ago and yesterday was the delivery day for the living room set. I was so excited BUT in actuality my house was not ready. I stayed up all night long the previous night putting things away and moving things around. TOOLS EVERYWHERE! JUNK EVERYWHERE, no rhyme nor reason. … Continue reading
Yesterday I saw some 12×36 mirrors on Walmart.com and because I have the matching tray to it (that I purchased out of the Goodwill by the way), my desire for the mirrors grew. I REALLY love that tray and I REALLY wanted the mirrors. The problem I had with it is that it was $125 and quite frankly … Continue reading
Remember this? My package contained a hand embroidered round tapestry and I had no idea how I was going to put it on my wall so I did not want to show it until I figured it out. Today when I got out the compressor and crown stapler I decided to staple the ding dang … Continue reading

Remember this? Its the top to the china cabinet. I just finished cleaning it with TSP so I can get ready to paint it. OMG that thing had a lot of dust embedded in it. Anyway this is the top to the drawers. I did the drawers in toasted almond with reds, greens, browns, black … Continue reading
I am always complaining about the prices at Goodwill but honestly? I have to say it has been a win-win situation for me over all. When I was in Greensboro I went to a ritzy neighborhood to the Goodwill and I found a 5 light crystal chandelier. It needs a little work because 2 of the candlesticks are … Continue reading
This is how far I have gotten in my living room and quite frankly I am pretty content with it just as it is. LOL I know I need furniture and I can’t wait to put in my red sectional but I don’t want to fill the room up. Once I put in the couch … Continue reading
NOON: I want to be finished with this work so bad. I am on my last leg and I just can’t get motivated to push through it. Last night I taped up the doorways to the living room and put the dog to bed. I started sanding and in 10 seconds I was hungry so … Continue reading
So I stroll around Lowes everyday, you know this. I always always always ignore the rugs. The other day I had to go to the bathroom and I went down the rug aisle to get there and noticed that some of the rugs were on clearance…OMG I could not believe the deals! But the ones … Continue reading
