2. What inspired you to start the blog?
I've been a blog reader for many years and I always felt like it was something I wanted to do.  I wanted to share my stories too.  I told myself  "this is something you've been wanting to do for so long and it's time you start doing more things for yourself!"  So I did!

3. What blog platform did you choose to go with?
Blogger

I love to paint, stain, design and redesign furniture.  I'm the crazy furniture lady, I just love furniture!  I also love designing and decorating interior spaces.   

5. What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is The Things That Matter by Interior Designer Nate Berkus.  I feel like this book has a soul, it is such an intimate display into his life.  The stories behind the spaces he creates are so inspiring and it makes me think different about how I want my home to feel.

It's pretty embarrassing and I don't know if it counts as a social media platform but I'm a Pinterest junkie.  I don't use it so much for the social part it's more for like daily inspiration, ideas, it really gets my creative juices flowing.

10. Describe the qualities you seek in a friend.
I guess someone who understands me, shares some of my interest so that we never run out things to talk about, loves to thrift shop and can drink at least two bottles of wine with me in one sitting, or watch, they can watch me drink if they don't want to, no judging allowed though!  

11. What is your favorite makeup line?  
I don't have a favorite makeup line. I don't use or own a lot of make up, I usually pick up whatever I run out of when I go to Target and I'm not a brand snob either, so I will just grab whatever is on sale or worked well last time.

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Reveal

Finally, I'm going to share the kitchen cabinet makeover reveal!  It took us a lot longer than we expected to get this done. But we are finally putting the paint brushes and the rollers down.  At least until we recoup from all the unplanned painting we did these past few weeks.  We didn't have a plan for this or a budget because it wasn't in the cards to do this project just yet.  I don't know if you recall from this  post but this all started because I wanted a cup of tea .  First I just wanted to do a quick reorganization, then I started  pulling off contact paper , next thing you know I'm removing doors and  stripping paint off the kitchen cabinets .  We didn't think things through we just went with it.  Before we had clumpy, flat painted ugly cabinets.  I'm not exaggerating, you can see for yourself here .  Whenever we would clean a them the paint would come off because they were not primed.  They were painted with a flat, cheap paint that would absorb s

Lining Shelves With Contact Paper

It all started when I wanted to drink a cup of tea!  Now what does drinking a cup of tea and lining shelves with contact paper have to do with each other, you ask!  Well the cabinet was overstuffed and when I reached out for the tea box, it and other miscellaneous stuff fell out of the cabinet.  I thought to myself, while the water for my tea simmers I can quickly empty out the cabinet and reorganize it, it's just a small cabinet it wont take more than 5 minutes, right?  Wrong, wrong, wrong! I emptied it out and the contact paper that was put there by one of the previous owners was hanging in the front and I decided it was time to pull it off!  Well, once I pulled it off I remembered why it was still there in the first place.  When we first moved in, I went to remove the contact paper from one of the other cabinets and there was another paper underneath it that was torn around the edges and I tried to remove it but that thing was super glued.  I decided it was a job f

Best Home office Simple Design Ideas Near Me

Our new house has a spare room that we use daily to enter the house and where we greet all of our visitors since it is our main entrance.  It quickly became a catch all room where we would just dump everything we didn't want to deal with at the moment.  That was a really big problem and it was stressing me out.  I wanted to turn it in to a home office space and create a  functional entryway.  I wanted it to be beautiful and reflect our style and I needed to spend as little as possible. After pic my desk area Planning my desk area I knew what I wanted to do, I was just so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start.  So I made a list (I always make a list) and got to work. To make the entryway functional we needed to add hooks for jackets, handbags, etc, etc... and a bench to take off our shoes.  We already had a few pieces we planned to reuse in this space.  In our previous home we had purchased a shoe cabinet from Ikea that has served us well and was in perfe
