Dresser Drawer Makeover

Do you have an old dresser that you’re not using or are looking to give a face lift?  How about just giving the drawers a new use.

Dressing Up With Knobs

I am really not a fan of “standard” so finding something like knobs to change things and make them my own is a plus in my book! They are so easy and there is a HUGE variety.

Dresser Transformation

This dresser has had many faces and it has been well used and loved.

With this new baby coming we needed a changing table and this was the perfect height for it, so again we gave it another face lift.

10 Staple Items In Your Closet

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes have a hard time deciding what to wear every single day.  Yes, I do wear my black yoga pants most days of the week, but when I want to get out of that mama rut, I want to throw on something cute! So I made a list of closet must-haves that I thought were really versatile and can be thrown on to look more put together.

1. Chambray Blouse.  Holy smokes! This top is my new favorite! It seriously goes with EVERYTHING! And it’s super comfy!

This is ingenious!  I learned to make this emergency cook stove yesterday and have to pass this idea along to you.

During the past year I have been feeling the need to be better prepared for any emergency or hard time my family and I may go through in the future.  Hopefully, nothing does happen <knock on wood> but I would rather be prepared than sorry.  Every once in a while I’m going to pass on tips to you that I have learned.  Hopefully, you don’t mind.

My Framaholic Dining Room

(Happy Dance!!!)

My home is slowly but surely coming together!

I think I am a frame-aholic.  I collect them, I guess. So, when we built our new home I knew I had to come up with some way to transform our blank walls and to use all my frames at the same time. I have to admit I had some help. Being 8 months pregnant getting up and down is not so easy (shocker!)  My wonderful mother was here to help us unpack and she helped me arrange my frames.

Our Vintage Shoppe

If you can’t tell already we love anything vintage or retro.  We love to hear or imagine the stories behind the items we have.  And…..it just seems like they don’t make things the way they used to.

We travel around doing vintage inspired shows.  It’s so fun to mingle with like minded people who appreciate what we offer.  Here we are at the Vintage Whites Market a few months ago.

Holla!

Dru

Me…..hmmmm……!!!

There are so many things I could say but I will just start with the basics.

Mother to 4

Grandmother to 10 (Yes, 10.  All under the age of 7.)

Former military wife.  We spent 15 years traveling around the world.  It was such a thrill to have seen so many places and meeting lifetime friends.

Crafter – Spent many years working in the craft industry and love getting together with friends and creating.

Lifelong lover of thrift shops, antiques, and yard sales.

Some things I need to work on………

I stay up way too late, drink Diet Dr. Pepper, I’m lazy when it comes to exercising, and I can be a little stubborn.

My Philosophy……

Everything happens for a reason…..

I believe we are put on earth to experience amazingly good things and to prove ourselves through the trials placed in our path.   There is a plan for me put in place by a loving Heavenly Father.  Every experience puts me in the place I should be.  I don’t think it’s an accident when I am able to cross paths with a new friend who has a lot in common with me and feels like a sole mate or dealing with hard things because there is something I am supposed to learn.  I am sure there are blessings in store for me if I can endure.  I can already see the blessings of doing my best to pass these tests through my children and grandchildren.  They bring me so much joy.

Anyway, you will get to know me more as time goes by.  I’m thrilled to be working with my girls and so blessed to have them in my life.

Until next time……
