A Forgotten Chair Makeover….

July 17, 2015 By Tracy Leave a Comment

One day on a search for something that would be a great makeover project, I ran across two lonely chairs.

A tale of 2 chairs

 A tale of 2 chairs

This is one of the beauties that I ran across in a barn.  This little girl was the better looking of the two.  I know by looking at the seat and back covering they really aren’t old.  Oh, but wait after digging in and removing the very different cloth on the seat covering and backing I discovered they were older than first appeared.  These are solid oak frames…..awesome bones for this makeover.  [Read more…]

4 Easy and Inexpensive Steps For Seed Starting….

May 12, 2015 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Seed starting is a great way to get a jump-start on planting your garden.  Yes, it probably is easier to go to the local farmers market, retail store or hardware store to purchase plants that are already mature and ready to plant.  However, it doesn’t take much time out of your day to start seed indoors in preparation for planting season.

Thrift Store Wreath Makeover

April 13, 2015 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Have you ever experienced one of those days while out looking for treasure, that you felt was a lost cause?  Now your thinking how much time was wasted and now your going to go home empty-handed.  You know what I mean, you have felt this same feeling of defeat.

Blah!!!

Thrift Store Wreath Makeover

On my last treasure hunting stop of the morning, I hoped that I would find something that would save the day.  I made my usual rounds in the store and wasn’t finding anything that really spoke to me.  Yep, I was probably the one you heard mumbling about what a wasted day I was having.

But WAIT…. [Read more…]

Vintage Stool Makeover

April 8, 2015 By Tracy

Do you remember in February when I introduced you to my new makeover vintage stool project?

It  was a little beaten and shabby, but was definitely a beauty in the making.

Vintage Stool Makeover

The rattan had dry rotted and was breaking in a few places and as you can see it was almost completely off of one side.  I just knew that I could repair the seat without a doubt.  A little confession….I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to replacing the stool seat.  I however, do have a couple of people who I can bend their ears for some tips on the repair.  [Read more…]

Who’s Pushing Spring?

March 16, 2015 By Tracy Leave a Comment

We finally got a break in the weather the other day and I actually saw a large, round, orange glowing object in the sky. I realized it was something that I hadn’t seen in quite some time and it was definitely a welcome site.  The temperatures were also a bit of a change from the twenties to being able to go outside in a long sleeve shirt and feeling comfortable.

I don’t know about you, but when days like this start coming around I start getting the outdoor fever.
