I went to Trader Joe’s to buy flowers for my mother earlier this week and to use for some tablescape blog posts that I planned to do, so I have a bunch of white flowers and pink spray roses and ranunculus. Then I picked up my double subscription bouquet because I was out of townContinue reading “Massive Mother’s Day Flowers”

I found this Churchill Blue Willow on my last thrifting adventure and thought it would be perfect for this. I have this beautiful white linen cloth with gorgeous blue embroidery which coordinates nicely with the dishes. I used a molded glass ice bucket for the flowers–lenten rose, ranunculus, and spray roses. I put little tinyContinue reading “Classic Mother’s Day Table”

I can hardly believe it, but we have had this house for 9 years already, and our bedroom and bathroom have barely changed during that time. This is our bathroom from the listing photos. Somehow, I don’t have a before photo of the bathroom after we painted it (and all the decor was taken byContinue reading “Budget Bathroom Refresh”

I’m going to do a few posts about some of the redecorating that is going on around here–particularly in the main suite, and in my youngest son’s room–these spaces haven’t changed much in the past 9 years and I am really tired of everything. So, if you’ve been following along for a while, you knowContinue reading “Bedroom Re-Do”

I found this cutie little vanity bench at the thrift store and felt sure that I could turn it into something neat for the garden. I had my husband use his angle grinder to cut all everything off the top except for the rectangular frame. I bought a small roll of plastic coated hardware clothContinue reading “Another Project”

Here’s a reminder of where we started with this chair project for the charity auction in a few weeks…. I found a chair at a thrift store in Atlanta for $2. I thought that the shape was really pretty and it would make a good desk chair, or side chair. I didn’t think that itContinue reading “The Finished Project”

Well, the last method that I found for starting sweet potatoes was a bust. But I found another one that seems to be working well. What this one recommended was taking a sweet potato that had started to send up shoots and placing it in a container with some water. I did this several weeksContinue reading “Starting Sweet Potatoes”

My oldest son’s girlfriend has a birthday coming up and I found a super cute MCM vase at the thrift store for $1–that really goes with the vibe she has going on in her house. She has lots of house projects coming up, so what she really needs is a gift card to a homeContinue reading “A Cute Gift Wrapping Idea for a Gift Card”

I found this cute bunny runner at the thrift store and I built a table around it. I started with my natural linen table cloth and then the runner. My little pink flowering plants in silver plated cups, 2 milk glass hens on next, little stoneware salt and pepper shakers, my favorite Smith and HawkenContinue reading “Pretty In Pink Easter Table”

Still working with my thrifted tureen, but I souped it up even more with some Easter eggs hanging from the curly filbert branches. This time I used a tablecloth with an all over pattern in blues, yellows, and greens. I added some Easter bunnies and milk glass hen on nests and a sweet basket withContinue reading “My Husband’s Favorite So Far”
