Scentsy Sponsor

Want to give a shout out to my sponsor Whitney over at Scentsy. 

I found some fun warmers from her website I wanted to share!

Love this flameless candle for the stinky man cave. 

They come in a number of colleges and are a great way to freshen up a masculine space.

I still LOVE my plug in!!!  This one is super cute and very neutral too!

How cute is this!

I hope you guys will visit Whitney's Scentsy page and browse around! 

Baby Kate's Nursery

Do you all remember my niece's pink dresser I shared a little while ago.  Well I'm back with some more of her adorable nursery updates! 

Love the pretty pink dresser and thrifted rocker in the corner. 



These embroidery hoops filled with fabric turned out so fabulous!

fabric remnants - $0; Embroidery hoops $1.25-2.25

Cluster of frames with an adorable button "K"

Button K - painting canvas ($2.50? use 50% at michaels); buttons $3.00

Christmas Tree shop frames ~$6.00/ea, scrapbooking paper- remnants and new probably like $5.00

And her boy's digs aren't too shabby either!  Remember she hacked a Serena and Lilly bedroom.



Technical Difficulties!

So my computer doesn't technically look like this but it's definitely acting like it!!!  I think we got a virus or something so I might be a little lax on the posts the next couple of days!  Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! 

Before and After: Map Drawers

Do you all remember this from a long while back.

I bought it from Class and Trash and wasn't sure exactly what to do with it but knew I needed it!

I think it might be where old maps or blueprints were stored.  It looks like it may have survived a flood or something too.

Well I finally got my fanny in gear and did something about it and here is the after:

I sanded the piece and then stained it using this.

Dark Walnut

I used the always fabulous rub n buff for the hardware to give it a little glam.

I added this gorgeous paper from World Market.  They have the prettiest paper there!  Their online selection is fabulous!  And for $3 a roll I think it adds the perfect touch!

world market

I'm going to use it to store jewelry.  The drawers seem perfect for that!

I also added some hairpin legs to the bottom.  They were SUPER easy to attach, just a few screws and they were on!

Hope you all like!  I'm using it as a side table next to a chair in our master.

Go ahead, put your feet up!

I finally have a redo project to show you, although my crafty mom deserves all the props (hence the reason she gets the bamboo Chippendale chair from the last post!).  Remember my galvanized tub from a WHILE back.  I wanted to add a tufted top and turn it into an ottoman. 

Well here is a reminder:

And after my mom did a little of this and a little of that....

We have this!

I wanted the top to come off for storage inside because who doesn't need extra storage!?!

I put about 5 screws (leave the screw sticking way up) around the inside to keep it from sliding off if someone puts their feet on it.  I'm not explaining that very well but hopefully you get the gist.

I'm really happy with how it turned out but have no where to put it so... I will be putting it for sale in one of my booths whenever I can shake my kids and get over there alone.

Hope you like and I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the New Year!!!

Getting my fix!

So it's been a few days since I was out goodwill hunting with the holidays and all and I was starting to get the shakes.  I had to run out and finish some last minute gift getting for someone on my list and just so happened to be passing by a Goodwill.  I'd left my husband with the kids for what he thought was a quick shopping trip so I had to make it snappy!

I wasn't even going to go in but I'm sooooooo glad I did!  Look what I found!!!!

Can I get a Hells Yeah!!!

This Chippendale arm chair was $15.  I was so excited normally I just rip the tag off (to claim it as mine) and continue shopping but it was too risky!  I carried that thing around as I continued shopping just to make sure no one could gank it from me!!!

I'm giving this to my mom for Christmas to maybe go with her campaign desk she redid a while back... because who doesn't want a $15 used chair from a possibly germ and bug invested house under their Christmas tree!?!?!  I kid, I think she's going to pass out when she sees it and since she loves a good deal just as much as the rest of us it will make the gift even sweeter!

And because you may not believe this insane price I included a pic of the tag because if I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't believe me either!!!

And head over to my facebook page if you are bored.  I just added a little class to my Class and Trash inventory with some Lilly Pulitzer items.  Oh and feel free to "like" the page...I'll consider it a belated Christmas gift from you ;)

Happy Holidays!!!

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season! 

Hope you all are enjoying some time off with family and friends! 

Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement this year!  This little journey of mine has been such  fun and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to visit my little blog!
