DIY blog sharing our home, budget decorating tips with repurposed farmhouse decor.
Furniture makeovers are some of my favorite projects and every time I finish a piece, I get excited to share it here with you. This white dresser makeover is my latest project. About a month ago, my dad called me and told me he thought I should stop by a yard sale he was at. Usually when my dad calls me and says that, I know that he thinks he found something I might want, but he is not sure enough to just buy it. I went right over to the sale. This is the piece he wasn’t sure about…. Read More
I am on a roll with summer recipes! I like switching things up a little bit and adding recipes to the blog. Taking food pictures is fun and it is nice to break up project posts with something else I like to do; cook and bake. Recipes that are simple and that use every day ingredients are my favorite. I don’t have time to slave in a hot kitchen all day so when I get a good recipe that doesn’t require that, I like to share it. Summer fruit is in abundance and at a great price right now, so I use it… Read More
I love old window projects. I love old window projects because I love old windows. You can do so many things with old windows and they add a lot of architectural interest to any space you put them in.

The front of the cabinet reminded me of a window and that is how our cabinet plans started. For this cabinet, we used an old… Read More
This repurposed sign could not have turned out any cuter and the supplies I used to make it happen, make me love it even more! This Happy Home sign made from 100-year-old wood flooring started with a trip to a Restore Restyle Store. We have one of these stores in the city where we live, but the store that is 45 minutes from our home is so much better. They have so many great architectural pieces from old homes and buildings. I am not able to get there a lot, but when I do, I take advantage of browsing through… Read More

I have never been a Strawberry Pie person (or any pie person for that matter), but when a friend of mine brought over this pie……. it was all over for me. I have met my match. This Strawberry Pie is so good, and better yet, it is super simple to make! The crust is so easy to make and it is my favorite pie crust now for any recipe that calls for one. This Strawberry Pie shows up at all of our family functions now because we have all fallen in love with it. We love strawberries and when they… Read More
