This DIY Entryway Table has been on my to do list for quite some time, I'd been waiting for it to cool down so I could haul my miter saw outside and get busy making it. I wanted it to have that farmhouse feel, and decided I'd use salvaged items to construct it. I had the table legs from a smaller farmhouse table I once owned. I was carrying it outside to use on the porch a few years back and tripped (I'm a klutz) and when I did the table broke my fall but I broke the table top. I ... continue reading...

Hubby did an excavation job and removed a dump truck load of landscape rocks ... continue reading...
Shiplap Chalk Paint On Mason Jars
Do you ever get a brilliant idea all planned out in your head only to have it fail? Well that's what happened to me. I was really wanting a row of hobnail vases filled with leafy greens running across the stand under the tv. I knew I'd seen all kinds of them at our local Hospice store, so I set out on a mission to get them at a terrific price. When I got there I went right to the place the vases are kept and nothing.
