Even My Mom Is Trash Picking!

Pin It

I am slowly but surely getting my friends trained in nabbing great curbside treasure but recently my mom even picked up something for me! Be still my heart.

A little scuffed up but a good cleaning got rid of most of it!

Took a blade and scraped this off (not even sure what it was) and it is gone.

Had to glue this section as it was lifting off.

Yup, she found this cute little round side table and grabbed it out of her neighbor's trash to save for me. It was in great shape and just needed a little glue and a little cleaning.

Still has a few scrapes and scratches that adds to the great character!

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Change, Big Impact

Maybe it is because it's been 4 years. Or maybe it is time for change.
But probably, it's because I can.

This is how it looked when we moved in, minus the baseboard that is.)

Paint. What can I say? Paint is an amazing commodity. I love browsing paint samples and brochures. It is seriously like my favorite past-time. Ok, really, I need to get a life, huh?

This is what it has looked like for the past 4 years. Read more here.

My projects always start out with something little. I might bring home a new lampshade and before I know it, I'm tearing apart the room and totally redoing it. I guess I just need a paint fix every once in awhile and besides, what gives you more bang for your buck?

This, my friends, is how it all starts. My updated kitchen island and a little bit of paint.

Pulling from the navy in the dining room and changing out the island. Much softer and a little big of pop!

Ahhh, the Power of Paint!

Adventures in DIY

I love DIY. I mean really, you can create so much cool stuff with so little. I love to pull ideas from Pinterest and then create my own versions. So I thought I would share some of my best projects here.

Up first is my curbside find last summer.

One's Mans Garbage is the story of my curbside loveseat find.

Then there is the tale of my wood wall in "Wood'nt you like a wood wall?"

My dresser curbside find during 'junk days' at a charming town just 20 miles east of where we live.

"You Say Junk, I Say Treasure"

Here I recreated a bathroom mirror for under $50.00.
