A Photo of My Junk Pile

I have lovingly called this my junkpile for several years it was the very first thing I did to start on such a huge task as my back yard. I just threw some allysum seeds in this week to see if I can get them to grown...added some more dirt... but overall it is what it is...a junkpile that I love...its right next to our bbq area and adds loads of interest to a normally ugly spot.

New White Pillowcases + Cafe Curtain Clips= Curtains for My Tiny Bath!

Our home was built in the 60's and the bathrooms are really small and the bathroom windows are not a standard size. For our tiny bathroom I purchased new white crisp pillowcases and hung them with cafe curtain clips. Perfect!!

Vintage Vanity Bench Makeover

I picked up this vintage vanity bench at a yard sale last year. I painted it with Cece Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise and covered the seat with chenille from a pillow sham. I love the bright color!
