doing whatever you that makes you happy!
Yesterday, hubby and I went to a few yard sales
and thrift stores looking for treasures.
Sadly-I didn’t find anything that screamed
‘Buy me!’
Has that ever happened to you?
Needless to say-I was pretty disappointed coming home
empty handed-but there’s always a next time right?
Today I’ll be tearing apart our builders grade kitchen
island-in hopes of giving it a complete makeover!
Speaking of furniture makeovers-
let’s get to my #1 favorite for this week!
1. Favorite furniture makeover- Lynn from, On Fern Avenue did a ‘do-over’
on this cute little dresser-and I simply ADORE this version! You won’t
believe what she used to give the drawers a ‘french country’ look!
recently made over her kitchen-and what’s not to love?
Fresh white cabinets-and industrial island-and those GORGEOUS
butcher block counters!
DROOLING!!
had me at lemon-(you all know how I LOVE lemon in anything)-but she took it one
step further and made this quick and easy dessert layered with cream
and graham crackers. I seriously wanted to lick my screen when I saw
her post!
kiddo’s to get organized, I TOTALLY remember the days when I was
racing around the house in the early hours of the am looking for school work
and backpacks! If you do too-than Jamie, from, Creating Really Awesome Free things
has just the organization center for you! What a creative and FUNCTIONAL
use of an old door!
5. Favorite Tip- I have an abundance of herbs this year (YIPPEE)and even though
I use them in my cooking a lot-and even freeze them in olive oil, I worried
that some would go to waste. Not anymore!
Oh Mrs. Tucker freezes them -and they maintain their freshness
perfectly! Who knew? I sure didn’t!!
6. Favorite Upcycle- How cute is this flower pot that
Jenny, from Refresh Living
made using a .50 vintage bundt cake pan? I LOVE that she’s
already coming up with ideas to use it year round!
Now that’s creativity at it’s best!
Thank you to all the creative folks who inspired me this week!
Blessings and hugs,
