Ok, so I love paint. I love to paint anything and everything. I really do. I just adore the transformation. There is a creative rush that comes with it. So, it only makes sense that I also love paint....for nails. Yes, very much. I collect it. I guess it's a bit of an obsession. I, unfortunately, cannot keep polish on for very long with all of the furniture painting and repair. But I do paint them for special occasions. Or when the mood strikes me! Even if it does only last a day. I ... Read More about Some of my favorite paints….for nails
A Tale of a Dining Room, Re.Invented
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see disclosures hereA tale of a dining room is right. Many changes have been made (and are still being made) in this dining room. More than once. Yep, wallpaper painstakingly taken down only to be put back up again. Self induced torture. ;) (not really, I must love it, right? lol) Walls taken out. Wainscoting put in. Painted and then painted some more. It's all here. Before and after......and then another after and yet one more "after", after that. It comes in stages, you know. The changes evolve ...

Blogging, Thoughts of a Newbie Blogger
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see disclosures hereI guess this should have been my first post. But it's not, it's my third. I thought it might be helpful to put into words what I've been feeling as a new blogger. Maybe helpful to someone else just starting out? And I was just kinda itching to get it out, to be honest....... I've thought about writing a blog for a long while, so in MAY I signed up. But knew nothing of writing one.

Missing Hardware? Here’s a fix
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see disclosures hereI bought this great dresser a while back. I loved the curviness of it....the details....so very pretty. But it was missing hardware, a handle. Not too big of a deal but replacing hardware can get pricey....and trying to match it was not gonna happen. So....I bought it anyway. I loved it and decided it needed to come home with me. I'd figure out what to do about the handles later. Here's a hint. ;) Okay, that's a little more than a hint. But let's continue.... Typically, I don't buy ... Read More about Missing Hardware? Here’s a fix
