What I am working on now...


Hi there fellow bloggers! Its been a very busy and productive week so far, and its only Tuesday! I have several small and big projects on the go. I have tons to share with you, but with start with 2 of my current projects..

This childs vanity from the 90's was a freebie (Gotta LOVE those!). My neighbors were going to toss it in the trash, and I quickly saved its life before they did! Am working on transforming it into a trendy teen makeover vanity!


And my next project I am super excited about. BUT I am not going to just out and tell you what I am doing with it, where would the fun be in that? But, you are welcome to guess! Leave a comment telling me what you think the "After" is going to be to this "Before"!

Seeya all again real soon with fun updates and more project posts!

I'm Bacccckkkkkk

I am back ladies...with a sincere apology for my 8 month absence. Between work, kids, running a small, homebased business, and just life in general, it seems I have hardly had a moment to just breath in forever! Not much has changed while I have been MIA..same old, same old, except for a few little makeovers and I finally got my own (very tiny but still all MINE!) bedroom, which I will post photo's of soon!

This little table I found at Goodwill years ago. Since I brought it home at a cost of just $3 it has been sitting in my sisters shed-loft collecting dust. When I started working on my bedroom a few weeks back, I got an idea for it finally, and hauled it out!




And, at a cost of roughly $15 for the black faux leather, and spray paint,  here she is after, a cute little black, upholstered bench....




That now lives in a little corner at the foot of my bed topped with a pillow!

It corresponds perfectly with my bedroom decor, which you will get to see in my next post, which, I promise...

WILL NOT BE 8 MONTHS LATER!


Seeya all Soon  :)

Sneak Peak Of My Vintage Camper Makeoever & Some Thrifty "Befores"

Hi y'all! Its been a few days since my last post and the reason is quite simple...I have spent every spare moment working on my latest, (and biggest and BEST!) project ever...my vintage camper. We now have the interior almost completely painted, and are working to get all of the cushions covered in new fabric, and slowly but surely beginning to decorate. Before I share with you a tiny sneak peak here are a few "befores" of some things I am working on for the camper....

This watering can was actually a freebie, given to us in a box of items for our yard sale, a donation from a family member to help in our fund raising efforts to buy the camper. Instead of selling it, we kept it and have a pretty cute plan for it!



These cast iron hooks are a dollar store find a few years ago, and were again, part of the yard sale, but one look and we knew these pretties had a home in our new tiny home-away-from-home!



These are the handles that were on the cabinet doors of our camper. Although they were fine, they did not suit the look we were going for so they too have become a before...with a "after" not far behind!



These light fixtures were on the walls of the camper when we got it, in this poor condition, and Melissa (my sister) wanted to toss them. However, because we couldn't really afford new fixtures right now, we decided to give them a makeover! Here they are in their "before" state...afters coming real soon!



And last, but certainly not least, is a tiny sneakie peakie of the camper itself.



I did say it was tiny, didn't I? Well, I couldn't give away TOO much of it just yet..but soon my friends, soon! Until then, I am busy, busy, busy working hard to make her everything I dreamed of. See you all again soon!
