Lately I have been in a painting mood, I love to “rescue” old pieces of furniture and give them new life. This is a sweet little antique coffee table that I picked up for like 7 dollars at one of my thrift haunts. I’ve been dying to do something in this bright yellow and [...]

This past weekend we took a family trip to Ikea and 2 carts and 700 dollars later we left with new bunk beds for my son and a loft bed for my daughter (which I feel is like her sleeping in a tree but she adores it) Anyway, This is what I did with my [...]
