Have you ever been to AmVets? A friend of mine suggested I pop into one. I'd never heard of them before but did manage to find one just a few towns away. It's like a giant Goodwill but the proceeds benefit our veterans - which I love. I scored a few nice finds today! These little wire baskets were 99 cents each. The black coat rack was originally from Home Goods. It was $2.99. ...

Upcycled Scale Bucket
Remember the scale bucket I picked up over the weekend at a garage sale?! Here it is with its new makeover. First, I gave it a few coats of flat white spray paint. Then I printed off this great French grains image from The Graphics Fairy onto waterslide decal paper. I added it once the paint was dry and am loving it! It's just how I imagined it would turn out. It was calling for...
I was only able to hit two garage sales this morning. But they were well worth it. The word of the day for me is definitely: scale. This beauty has a little history behind it.

It houses a lot of garage sale finds and craft projects. And things that boys just don't understand. But that's okay because every mom/wife needs a little escape once in a while. It gets super hot in the summer, but in the fall it's...
Or is it a milk tin?! Whatever you call it, I picked this up at Home Goods a few years ago. We used to have it on our porch but it didn't quite fit with my beachy decor, so off to the shed it went. I dug it out yesterday to give it a Frenchie makeover. This seriously took four coats of white spray paint to cover. Holy moly, I was in a cloud of...
My parents had a sleepover with my boys Sunday night. My 8 year old wanted Grandma to show him how to sew. Who is Grandma to say no?! Lookie what was waiting for me when I went to pick them up yesterday. A little stuffed whale! Apparently they worked on it together just for lil ol' me. I love it to pieces and will certainly cherish it. I'll have to break it out when he's...
