ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Nancy!
Hey y’all!
I’m Nancy, an east coast girl who lives in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
I love it here, right on the coast.
I’m a wife and mother of 2 … grown children. Wow, how did that happen so fast?
And… I am an Artsy Chick!
Yep, according to my husband, I am. He has called me his “artsy chick” since we met 34 years ago.
As a matter of fact, when I decided to write a blog, he was the one who came up with the name.
He’s awesome, I think I’ll keep him.
I’m a thrifting, painting, budget decorating kind of girl.
I’m always on the lookout for a bargain….and often find one!
I love “treasure hunting” (thrift store shopping) and making things pretty.
My husband and I love to DIY anything. Like our home of 18 years, for example.
You can read a bit about it here.
This blog is the place I come to share my love of all things creative…with you.
Tutorials, furniture makeovers, decor on a budget, and so much more.
I am enjoying re.storing & re.styling old, vintage furniture & home decor ….so it can be re.loved!
This “artsy chick” is …
…a huge goofball, young-minded (not sure I’ll ever really “grow up” which is fine with me!), a bit of type A and DIYer of all things.
I’m so happy to have you here and look forward to being able to share this “adventure” called life with you here on the blog!
