I love shopping, but not for buying. Browsing and hunting for inspiration is what I love most about shopping. When I am in a store (other than a thrift store), most of the time, I am not buying anything. It has been said before that I am cheap frugal. I shop a lot differently than a lot of people. Shopping always inspires me to create pieces for our home from something that inspired me from a store, website or catalog I was browsing through. Shopping for me always produces projects and decorating ideas. It fuels my creative spirit and I need… Read More

Retro Radio Cabinet Makeover

I want to thank Zibra for partnering with me on this Retro Radio Cabinet Makeover. All opinions are my own.  You guys…… I am obsessed with just about anything vintage and I could not pass up this retro radio cabinet when I found it. It was a killer price because it was not in great condition. The radio didn’t work and the guts of the drawers were taken out and the finish didn’t look great. I didn’t care. There was still a lot of character and storage that made it a perfect piece for a makeover.  There were tons of knicks… Read More

Framed Chalkboard Sign With Chalk Couture

2 Comments

I am having the most fun with my Chalk Couture products! I thought it would be a lot of fun to experiment with a new creative outlet, but I didn’t think it would be this fun. I have been making all kinds of things, but my favorite might be the framed chalkboard art. I can make professional looking chalkboard art in no time! Framed chalkboard signs are great for so many things but when I try to do them, they don’t look so great. I have really struggled with making great-looking signs and it was frustrating. Until now.  I am… Read More

DIY China Cabinet Makeover

 I want to thank Dixie Belle Paint for partnering with me on this china cabinet makeover. All opinions are my own. This china cabinet makeover is one of my favorites!!!!  When I found this piece, I wavered back and forth about it and now, I am wondering why. Sometimes when I am hunting for pieces, I am confident and buy something as soon as I see it and other days, it is like I am super picky or something and over-analyze every inch of the pieces I am finding. This time, I should have known this piece was going to… Read More

Magnolia Paint in 25+ Colors Available At Target

2 Comments

Magnolia Paint is now available at Target!! I am so excited about this news because I have had the chance to use Magnolia Paint and absolutely love it. Before now, to get your hands on a gallon of the paint, you had to find a store that was selling it. Around us, there weren’t many stores carrying it so now that it is readily available at Target, you can bet we will be using it much more.  When Matt and I started DIYing, we were on a very tight budget so to save money, we would buy less expensive paint, tools… Read More
