Three years ago, wow that's hard to believe! Anyway, as I was saying, three years ago I updated my daughter's bedroom. I'd love to say that my daughter had some input in her bedroom, but she said do whatever you want. So I did! We painted her bedroom the same color as the rest of our house, added new furniture that I painted. Bought new to us bedding from the thrift store, made a lamp, and updated her makeup bench. It's pretty much stayed the same for three years. My daughter is 16 and will be 17 this year, so it was time for another update. We need to stick to a budget, so I am going to update her room using mostly what we already have. Her furniture is staying, but it will all get a fresh coat of paint. I'll be looking at thrift stores for curtains and bedding. I'll be ... View Post

Upgrade Your Thrift Shop Find
Upgrade Your Thrift Shop Find Upgrade your new thrifty find easily and for very little money! I don't like spending lots of money because, hey I'm cheap. If I wasn't so cheap I wouldn't be shopping at thrift shop, right ;-) Yes I adore shabby style and this little thrifty upgrade is going to transform this crappy little table into a shabby treasure! (This post contains affiliate links, please read disclosure policy) I must admit that I have a wondering eye. When I am out and about, traveling or treasure hunting my eyes are always drawn to things that are imperfect. And it's not always a piece of furniture, or architectural piece. Sometimes it's an old home, the colors, the shape and style. And sometimes it's a brick wall. Have you ever heard of ghost signs? I'm not talking about an ... View Post
