Goodbye January, Hello February

Goodbye January, Hello February

It seems so hard to believe that January has almost come and gone. I swear it seems like just yesterday we were yelling “Happy New Year!” One of my favorite things about this month is that after spending extra time with family and friends over the holiday season, January holds a promise of both new adventures and of dreams yet to be realized. Goodbye January, it’s been fun. February, if you’re listening, I can’t wait to see what adventures you have in store for me!

ASCP Country Grey Dresser Makeover

ASCP Country Grey Dresser Makeover

I was at the Renninger’s Extravaganza with my Mom when I found out I had a big hole in my booth after one of the dressers had sold. No worries, I had another dresser in my garage waiting to be painted. For this dresser makeover, I used two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Country Grey and followed with clear furniture paste wax. All the details were highlighted using Annie Sloan Old White.

Indoor Coffee Station

Indoor Coffee Station

Have you ever brought home a piece of furniture and in the store you loved it but once you got it home it just didn’t work in the space the way you thought it would? That’s what happened to me with this bakers rack. I was almost ready to give up until I decided to use it as an indoor coffee station.

Rise and Shine Sugar Scrub

Rise and Shine Sugar Scrub

I feel like I’m finally getting back into the swing of things on the blog, at home and restocking items at my booth at The Pickers Market. I’ve even started training for a 15K run. I decided to make a scrub that would help kick start my morning routine. This Rise and Shine sugar scrub uses 5 ingredients: grapefruit, orange, clove, oil and sugar.
