Hi Friends, It's been a SUUPER busy week here so I'm keeping things simple on today's Tuesday's Treasures. Even though purple is my least favorite choice on the color wheel, when Stephanie reached out to us asking to bring some of…

Hi Friends! Who had a great Mother's Day? I hope you all did! Whether mother, daughter, or "2nd moms" - thanks to all the ladies who serve without recognition and love without measure. Here's a quote that I keep on the inside of…

Hi Friends! How is everything going? We had a fun week here with the T-Ball starting!! It's Sweetie's first year and she may or may not have hit the ball and run to 3rd base instead of 1st on her…

Some of you may look at a dresser like this week's Tuesday's Treasures and think it needs to be sent to the curb. Sometimes I think that, too, but in this case I knew that this could be beautiful!! I've…

Happy Tuesday everyone! This time last week our Little Man had his tonsils and adenoids removed. Minor surgery, but a long recovery. Boy do I feel badly for him. He's been up all through the night, every night, crying in…

Hi Friends! Did you have a nice week? If you're in upstate NY like me, you're probably saying yes it was an awesome week!! Why? Because we finally had some warm weather and were able to enjoy the sun. Trying…

One of the top asked questions that people email me about is how to make chalk paint. So today's the day to explain! Let's talk about chalk paint, shall we? Not chalkboard paint that you can write on with chalk,…

Hi Friends!! I literally feel like I just sat down to write last week's Tuesday's Treasures. No lie... where did this week go?? It was a whirl wind! Which is usually what happens after taking time off to go to…

Outstanding weekend here friends! I went to the Hope Spoken conference in Dallas, Texas and had an amazing time. I promise to share more about it soon, but time is tight from being away so I'm keeping today's post short.…

Happy Tuesday's Treasures everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out one of my favorite new dresser designs! Before we start all that, I know you were hoping for an update about our week here, right? :) We…

How are you all doing? Despite ANOTHER snow storm here in NY, the temps have made there way up a bit so we all feel like there may be hope that spring is going to come after all. And something…

Hi Friends! This just in! My almost 6 year old son announced at the dinner table this week that he has a girlfriend. Oh boy... here we go. Lol, I was hoping for a good 10 years or more before…

Hi Friends! Ok, it's cold. Still cold. I was lacking inspiration about what to write about today. Not because I don't have anything fun to share, but I'm in that winter slump. Who else is feeling that way? Everyone I…

Hi Friends! Last week was school break and I remember two things... How much I love hanging with my kids during the day AND how hard it is to get everything done when the kids are home. I had so…

Hi Friends! Thanks to everyone who stopped by last week to check out our Broken Down Black Buffet makeover. This week's makeover wasn't as hard, but it came from the same owner... Linda, and it too needed work. I think…

Hi Friends! I wanted to quickly show you before and after picture of a dresser set that we just posted on our Furniture For Sale page! You can check out the set or individual pricing on that page. Update! SET…

Hi All! Sometimes repairing a furniture piece can cost more than buying something brand new and it can be more work than if you just built something from scratch. This buffet was one of those pieces. Linda reached out to…

As a blogger sometimes it's hard to stay balanced and real. To show the good and the not so good. I don't want people to get the impression that everything is always perfect here but I also don't want to…

Good morning friends! How was your week? Since I was out of town a week ago, this past week was hectic to say the least. It's been so fun though. I promised you new pieces, but I put them on…

Hi!!  How's 2014 treating you all so far? I feel like it's been a month since last week's Tuesday's Treasures. I flew out to Michigan to help my friend Sarah pick paint colors and decorations for her new home. And…

Last week I showed you all of the post popular furniture posts in 2013 as voted by you (page views)! This week I thought I would share my favorite furniture makeovers of 2013. Only one actually made it on both lists,…

Happy New Year's Eve!! One of the things I look forward to each year is putting together the furniture pieces that had the most page views this year. Some surprised and there were others that I wondered why they didn't…
