Trash to Treasure Green Desk
  What is one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, always rings true when you find a beautiful piece of furniture that is about to be discarded to the dumps, and you can bring it back to a beautiful and functional heirloom.    I love antiques, but let’s face it, not every piece of antique furniture is easily transformed. Not the case with this little kidney bean shaped desk that was cosmetically in pretty rough shape. It had lots of water damage, and scratches, and some of the vaneer was peeling back. With a little elbow grease and a new vision for this desk, I was able to…

So I say to my daughter, ” would you like to go to Lowes and look for a little trellis and a few strawberry…

Festive 4th of July Mantel
A few times per year I like to change up the mantel, and the easiest way to do this is during the holidays. The large picture of my two kids when they were so little doesn’t really change, because I haven’t found something I like better. lol. They are a big reason I started decorating for every holiday and every season. I wanted to make it fun for them and now it is fun for me! It can be something simple or very extravagant. I have decorated this mantel for more events than I can count. Holidays, Birthdays, Graduations, Accomplishments.. Whatever the occasion, the center piece of the living room…
