Free Mason Jars? Are You Kidding?
Who doesn’t like mason jars? They are awesome for so many things but when I found out these were free I was just downright embarrassed!
My $27 Makeover
On one of my Goodwill visits I found this desk that was badly beaten up. 
It had a
huge gouge on the top but I knew with some sanding and paint it was going to be a beauty. With dovetailed drawers and even a bottom cedar lined drawer who could pass up $15! On a different visit I found this! Continue reading
Free Storage Jars
One thing we love in our house is coffee, fresh coffee. We grind our beans every morning so the beans are stored in this glass container next to the coffee maker. I love this container. I wanted to put a similar one in the girls bathroom for storage but one that wasn’t glass, I didn’t want it to shatter in the girls bathroom.

Just white they are beautiful but since I am a little paint happy lately I wanted to try red and blue. Continue reading
Blue Bird – Blue Bird
Blue birds remind me of my Grandma. She had these little glass blue birds in her window and I always thought they were so beautiful. My mom has them in her house now and they bring back so many wonderful memories. Continue reading
I’m Addicted
I am getting addicted to looking for old furniture to make pretty. I only had one of my helpers with me one day so I thought going to Savers would be a good idea. I had room with just one car seat if I found something. I found it! The ugliest thing on the planet. Continue reading
