How To Easily Reupholster A French Chair
How To Easily Reupholster A French Chair When I first started my blog one of my first projects was reupholstering a French chair. I got the guts to do it after reading Miss Mustard Seeds blog post on how she reupholstered her French chair. It looked easy to do so I went for it. The problem was that since I was new at blogging I never shared a step by step tutorial on how to do it. I really don't know why I didn't and always regretted not sharing it. Since I am changing things around my home I decided now is the time to share a step by step tutorial on how to reupholster a French chair. I promise that this is super easy to do. Just keep in mind that if you are attempting to do this please don't experiment on your Grandmothers heirloom chair. If you would like to try to reupholster a ... View Post
WHITE SLIPCOVERS WHY IT’S A BAD IDEA
WHITE SLIPCOVERS WHY IT'S A BAD IDEA I have longed for white slipcovers ever since Rachel Ashwell shared them in her books. I've longed for the look of white crisp clean slipcovers in an all white home. They look so cozy and laid back. That was the look that I wanted in our new Florida home.

I was told that these white slipcovers are supposed to be easy to clean ... View Post

MINERAL SUNSCREEN REVIEW COLORESCIENCE
MINERAL SUNSCREEN REVIEW COLORESCIENCE I recently moved to Florida so using sunscreen is more important than ever. And last spring I had a scare. On my yearly visit to my dermatologist she told me I had an A-typical freckle that needed to be removed. I now have a scar and a reminder of how important using sunscreen is. I reached out to colorescience and shared my story. They graciously sent me products to review. This post is not sponsored all opinions are that of my own and my own experience using these products. WHY MINERAL SUNSCREEN? A mineral sunscreen contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide both of these help to deflect the sun and help to keep damaging UVA rays away from skin.
