I wandered into an antique mall to see if I could find something vintage and fabulous to use on the food table for our graduation ceremony this weekend.
I did find something fabulous, but it has nothing to do with the graduation. I bought it anyway.
I can’t wait to show you all the changes in my living room. It is really looking spiffy! (Did I just say spiffy?)
I am shy about writing a” how to” post since the paint is barely dry and I haven’t lived with it long enough to know if it’ll stick. I’ve had a lot of questions about how I painted my piano, so I’m going to tell you.
After a year of mulling it over, I finally did it.
I painted the piano.
It wasn’t easy, fast or fun. But I am so, SO thrilled with the results.
We built this deck off of our kitchen a year or so ago. Then we just tossed some chairs we already owned onto it and didn’t think about it again. You now how it goes…no money, no time, other things to deal with.

I’ve painted a lot of furniture…..
Wow! What an unbelievable wedding!
God honoring, Christ centered, worshipful….a dream come true for Tara and Stephen.
I am so excited to be doing a giveaway on a friend’s blog. Shaunna, over at Perfectly Imperfect, is hosting a giveaway of one of my pillows in my Etsy Shop.
This is a new listing on Shop 24 and I am so excited to show it to you.
I am getting ready for a break. A break from school. A break from running around. A break from cooking…..oh. I don’t really get a break from cooking? Drats!
But I am going to take a week off to “tweak” my living room.
I hesitated to show this to you. It feels a little like bragging. But I wanted to honor Hope and what she has accomplished.
She entered a Mother’s Day Essay Contest in the local newspaper. And she won!
Here’s her letter…….
