Think you can't afford cottage style? I say you can! How about under $40.00.

Have you passed by these beauties at thrift or yard sales?

    compromise. I would pull the cream color into the piping and pillows. I love that you can keep your cushions. They are so comfy! This is going to be so cute! I can't wait to see it! XOXO!

    Dear Jessica Hill , Look at me! ...»
    I'm almost totally stripped naked! I have made it easy for you to just add a minwax dark walnut stain to me and then have fun playing with colors in all the pretty pillows that you can place on me! Imagine how pretty I would look freshened up with stain and the black iron! I would love it! Turqoise and Orange pillows are calling my name! Love.....Your bench. ; )

Love the Annie Sloan chalk paints and fabulous colors but cannot afford a can of paint for every project? I feel your pain and found a great solution in a $4.00 can of spray paint.

    scratch it up good! Concentrate on areas where little feet and big feet rub. Thighs sliding on and off.....and if you feel you go too far. Don't fret, grab that can and lightly spray over. Easy fix! XOXO! ; )

Gardening: Is this poison ivy or poison oak?

I asked a friend of mine one time and he ripped it out and called it some kind of weed. I want to double check. Anyone know if poison ivy or poison oak? Would love your help!

See how I spruced up a "dirty" shady outdoor space!

I have a little shady area that I always struggled making look "clean". A painted Oriental Rug that POPS with color is a great way to hide a dirty spot! I paint them right on the concrete. I share more details on my post.

Kitchen Cabinet Update

I'm so pleased with the results of our kitchen after applying a few coats of paint and darker stain to the cabinets. For the first time in over a decade I finally like our kitchen!
