It's not always easy to see the potential in things. Take this incongruous collection of second-hand planters I was gifted... At first glance it's not the most attractive assembly of items, is it? I mean, if you were looking to create a pretty co-ordinated cluster of...
I must admit, when I posted about this impromptu room refresh last week and received lots of excited "Can't wait to see!" messages, I felt a little worried. Aside from the fact the budget was just meager, the room itself was quite nice and neutral to begin with. This...
You know that old saying, "Too much of a good thing is never a good thing." Well, aside from the fact they forgot to exclude wine...and pistachios...and Friday nights, it's pretty sound advice, and perfectly apt in the case of this cute little desk. As good as its...
I'd walked through my brother's front door dozens of times before though for some reason, one day a few weeks back, it made me pause... ...and kind of burned my eyes. I know he's not alone in having an ugly dated facade along with no real budget and limited aptitude...

When I mentioned to my son that I was planning on painting just the tops and bases of these chairs, I described it to him as giving them all hats and socks. I thought that was kind of cute until he went on to add that "the hats will eat the socks and then the chairs...
Every now and again I'm reminded just how amazing paint can be! Take this ramshackle collection of discarded "goodies"... Lovely, aren't they? Let's face it, ordinarily you wouldn't look twice at any of this, right? The round board was the original top from the stool...
This was such a fun-daunting-exciting-scary makeover for me! If you follow me socially (on Facebook or Instagram) or are a blog subscriber, you've probably heard about this project - in fact, you may even have already seen it! Last weekend I was fortunate to have the...
