Updating Hardware Without Spray Paint or Chemicals

Last Friday, I shared my grandfathers dresser makeover and today I'm sharing how I saved money by updating the original hardware.  I would have loved to go out and buy all new hardware, but that would have added a rather large expense to this makeover.  The dresser will eventually end up in our laundry room and since I'm probably the only one who's going to see it, I just couldn't justify the added expense. I normally update hardware with spray paint, but this time I wanted to try something different.  I wanted the pulls to have a variation in color and knew I could achieve that look with regular old acrylic paint. ...

Lucketts Spring Market Recap

Happy Monday! Did you all have a great weekend?  I was fortunate enough to make the hour drive to Lucketts for their 2015 Spring market.   It was a girls day with my daughter, mom and sister in law and we had such a great time.   If you have never experienced Luckett's Spring Market, you are seriously missing out!  This place is a junker's dream.  They had over 170 vendors full of all kinds of vintage rustic goodness.  I was thrilled to finally meet Marian from Miss Mustard Seed and Cassie from Cassie Bustamante , both of which had fantastic booths. ...

{Entryway Update} HomeGoods Knob Love And a $5.00 Clearance Rug

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend and all you mommies had a great Mother's Day full of pampering and relaxation.  Although yesterday was a special day, today is even more special.  My youngest is graduating from preschool and suddenly I feel like my life is flashing before my eyes. Where has the time gone?  How did he grow up so fast?  I'm a little sad that my baby is growing up faster than I would like, but I'm extremely proud of him and look forward to this next chapter in his life.   {sniff, sniff} If you follow me on Facebook  you may have noticed that I stopped in HomeGoods the other day.  I'm fortunate to work within 5 minutes of a HomeGoods, which tends to be a lunch time staple.  Who needs to eat when they have shopping to do, right? I went in search of a new tablecloth for our outside table and stumbled upon these amazing knobs.  Have you seen them? They have such a great selection of unique and colorful knobs and their prices are to...

20 Fabulous Sliding Barn Door Ideas

Can we talk barn doors a minute?   I have been obsessing over these stylish doors for quiet some time and itching to install one in my own home.  Living in a small house with limited doors and wall space makes it a bit challenging to find space for one of these fabulous doors, but I think I found a solution.   Ideally, I would prefer to have one of these stylish doors leading into an office, or pantry, but since we don't have a pantry and we already have french doors to our office, the basement bathroom will have to do. I've gathered a ton of inspiration over the past few months and now the only problem is deciding which style of door to install.    There are so many great options from vintage and rustic to sleek and modern that deciding which style is right for our home is so incredibly hard.  ...
