Look here, it’s July and I’m finally sharing my thrift store goodies I found in May. Very timely, I know. I will refer to this as fashionably late. Don’t worry though, I have some great finds to share with you all. Plus, I’ve already scored some great things this month that I get to share […]

Tree Ring Wall Art
My view from where I sit on the couch is a half-empty wall. I installed that shelf when the dresser that was holding my brass lamp lived there. Now, a chair and guitars are in its place. I stare at that wall a lot, since I sit on the couch nursing my little babe a […]
Closet Pantry Shelves
Whoa, exciting title, I know… but hey, it’s exciting for me. Remember in January I managed to re-organization my kitchen, including our hallway closet turned pantry? Yeah, you might not. That’s okay. After a good solid six months, that neat space turned to a hot mess. Oh. my. goodness. And just to keep it real, […]
Making A Headboard
DIY upholstered headboards are nothing new, many great headboards can be found throughout the world wide web, especially while browsing Pinterest. A proper, or improper, headboard would look pretty funky in our tiny, not-styled-at-all bedroom. And I’m not talking about funky in a good way. So when my mom came in town and was purchasing […]
Pictures in the Kitchen
When we last left off in the kitchen, I had just installed a rail above our stove. As you can see, it was lacking some pizzazz, specifically in the above the bar and below the cabinet region. Well you can officially call that dilemma a problemo no moro. That’s right, I just said what I said and […]
April Thrift Store Finds
If there’s one thing that I’ve realized since writing these monthly thrift store posts is how quickly time flies. Seriously, where did April go? Here we are nearly half way through May, and I’m just now getting around to sharing what I found on my local thrift store adventures last month. You’ve already seen the […]
Green Thumbs Up
Two weekends ago was an annual Green Thumb Festival in St Peter. Never heard of it? No worries, I don’t think it’s very popular. Not so popular means not too big of a crowd and no admission fee. What is the Green Thumb Festival? It’s a weekend event at a local park where a multitude […]
Pinterest Challenge: Schoolhouse Electric Inspired Light
I have this problem, and it’s called a light fixture. My hallway light to be exact. Sure, it provides me with bright light when I am unable to see in the dark, but it wasn’t doing much for me aesthetically. So when Sherry and Katie’s quarterly Pinterest Challenge came around, that old light fixture didn’t stand […]
Collected Gallery Wall
As some of you may already know, Elijah and Eliana share a bedroom. While I was eight months pregnant with Isabelle, I hung some frames together on their wall and called it a day. I recently switched out some of the “art” so I thought it would be an appropriate time to show you their […]
Virtual Window Shopping for Mother’s Day
I like Mother’s Day, I think it can easily be placed on the top of my favorite holidays list. Do you know why? That’s right, because I’m a mama. It’s an excuse for me to do nothing that day, and make the children do all of the house chores. Oh yeah! I promise I’ll try […]
