That’s right, it’s 4-fer today! I’ve done a make over in 4 rooms and I’m sharing all of them with you today. The farmhouse is getting a French face-lift and I thought it would be fun to see all 4 rooms together. Hopefully you will get some French decorating ideas. To help pay […]
Chairs Transformed by Paint – 6 Projects
Paint really has trans formative powers. It can make things look totally different. Today, I’m sharing four paint projects involving chairs. I painted all of these chairs, and love the new look. I sometimes buy furniture that looks really dated, give it a coat of paint, and then it looks perfect! Here are my four painted chair […]
Ceiling Tile Artwork
Did you notice my new artwork above my bed? Want to see the before? The basket is okay, but too small. I needed something bigger and more impressive over this king-size bed.

Breakfast room Refresh
After dreading this project for two months, I finally bit the bullet and tackled painting two rooms in my house. Am I the only one who dreads painting rooms? It’s one thing getting out the paint brushes for a chair or box, but to take everything off the wall, put drop cloths on the floor, […]
