2016 Projects Review

It always helps me see what I have accomplished when I go back and review the projects that I got completed in the past year. There are many gaps in my blogging story each year because I do so many projects that I don’t consider “blog worthy.” I rarely publish any of my Christmas decor because I have some paid decorating jobs which I do first and by the time I get my own home decorated the blogosphere has been overdone with Christmas photos out the wazoo!

Reindeer Recipes Blog Tour Week 3

Today is the third and final week of the Reindeer Recipes blog tour. Today I’m sharing my snowman table that I leave up through January.

This table makes our sunroom feel cheerful even on a cold and gloomy day! Those cute snowman mugs were gifted to us several years ago and they make me happy every time I pull them out. Even when you don’t...

See you Tuesday!...

New Life for Another Old Chair

I just reupholstered this old chair for my mother to use in her bathroom. I love a cute pagoda and I love the fabric that I used on the back of this chair. I chose to use a solid textured blue fabric for the seat. Let’s take a look at what it looked like before. I found this chair in a second hand store for $35. That’s a little...
