a dream wall!

the completed brick living room wall ~ all natural lighting… It is fake…but it looks real!  It is something I have ALWAYS wanted, but never thought I would practically get.  I love the old vintage look and this to me adds so much to my living room.  I hired a lovely lady named Adrianne to… Continue Reading

stackable metal filing bins

When I started my business in 2004, I needed filing cabinets for my stuff, but had limited resources, so I went thrift shopping.  I found these at McCart Thrift and bought all 6 of them, 3 orange ones and 3 olive green ones.  Though orange and olive are not my color themes, I saw they had… Continue Reading

Old Chair – in process of complete redo

I got this chair at a flea market sale…probably at least 8years ago (or more) for $5!!!  I think the style is very cute and I knew it couldn’t be that hard to fix up.  When I first bought it, I attempted to paint it black, but I didn’t do a very good job as… Continue Reading
