Spring is on it's way...I don't care what Punxsutawney Phil says!  So to get your entry way ready to welcome visitors I have a really quick and cute way to dress it up.
What you'll need:
Cute planter
Styrofoam
Decorative rocks
Small tree branch
Cheap spray paint
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
I chose a cute grey and off-white planter and some pewter grey acrylic paint.
I didn't have a paintbrush so I had to use a Q-tip to create the "C".
I found a really unique look...

Back in January I ordered some beautiful black and white damask curtains. I anxiously awaited their arrival and I waited and I waited... The curtains were delivered to the wrong address. I ordered them from a seller on Ebay, Village Interiors to be exact. The tracking stated as the box being delivered, but they weren't delivered to my house. I asked my mail carrier for help and had my husband check with the Post Office. Nothing, nada, zip!! I was so bummed. After e-mailing Michel...

That got your attention, didn't it? The kind I'm talking about is...Junkin' at Goodwill! What's better than leaving work and then heading to Goodwill? NOTHING!!! And that's what I did yesterday. The one located where I live has a coffee bar called "Edgar's Coffee". Named after the founder of Goodwill, Edgar Helms.  Yes, you heard right. They sell coffee and smoothies. No, I didn't get one...but the temptation was there. I love going to Goodwill during the week. You avoid th...

I love the look of distressed wood. And have found out through trial and error how you can easily get this effect with a candle. Here's how I distressed the following wooden dish.
Since this had a varnish on it I lightly sanded it with 220 grit sandpaper. After wards I cleaned it with a tack cloth.
I then took my candle, any type of candle will work, and rubbed it on the areas I wanted the wood to show through. I rubbed enough on it until the areas had a good layer of wax on them.Â...

I absolutely LOVE going to Goodwill. I can always find a great bargain. I have been looking for an oversized mirror to re-do and I finally found one!!! And for only $6.99. I actually spent $13.00 in total at Goodwill and have posted the pics below. I LOVE JUNKIN!!! Enjoy!!
A little dusty, but nothing a little elbow grease won't cure.
A cute basket just in time for Valentine's Day.
A small brass candelabra...now to find candles to fit it.
I love these plates. I am trying t...

Since we were snowed in this weekend I decided to get started on a project that I should have done years ago. My husband was given his grandmother's wardrobe when she passed. It's very pretty but I thought I could do more with it. I spent Saturday sanding and priming it. As you can see by the photos I still need to paint and decide whether or not to put the doors back on. I love the tutorial at Living with Lindsay about painting laminate furniture. This helped so much!! If you clic...
