Hi, guys!! Thanks for letting me have a Mental Health Monday! We were incredibly busy this weekend. Lots of fun stuff, but just too much for one weekend! Friday evening, we had to drop off The Girl Child to go to Girl Scout camp, then head to a Mouse Races fundraiser for some friends, then […]

Hi, there! I’m glad you came by today! I’m just sharing a little project I did a over the holidays, but one that, as silly and small as it is, I’m totally ticked over! You know me – I love all things vintage. I love the feel of history, the ghosts of the past, and […]
Hi, there! Glad to see you! If you remember from my Goodwill Hunting post last Monday, one of the little “treasures” I found was a cheap-looking cream plastic lamp. Honestly, when I suggested turning this into a lamp that would fit in with The Girl Child’s Steampunk-inspired bedroom, she looked at me with a fair […]
Hey, there! I’m so glad you stopped by today! Got a chair makeover that I am really excited to share with you! If you follow me over on my Facebook page, you may have a seen a nice little harp-backed chair I picked up on one of my local Goodwill runs a few weeks ago. […]

As you may know, for Mother’s Day (and then some), I undertook remodeling my mother-in-law’s kitchen while she was visiting her family back in Scotland. I knew this would be a big project. While I didn’t have to replace appliances or do a major build, there was a lot of work to do, but I […]
As I’ve said in a previous post, my daughter has a tiny bedroom and a huge sense of style. She’s in love with all things Steampunk right now. She had a small vanity I had refinished that (sort of) doubled as a desk, without having enough room for either job. Now, if you know my […]
Hi there! I’m going to start this blog off with a small job I did over the holidays. This is going to be a simple project, but an example of finding a way to fill a need in a hurry. And, believe me, this qualifies as a refurbishing project if anything ever has! A little […]
