I thought I’d try something new today. Usually I blog about the vintage stuff that I keep. Today I’m going to show you some of the things that I have up in my Etsy store. All of these were added yesterday so it’s kind of like y’all are getting a sneak peek. I find myRead more
We finished the office makeover about a month ago and still love it. It’s hard to pick a favorite part actually. The blue walls? The orange geometric curtains? The trimmed-out ceiling shade? It’s like trying to pick a favorite book. That said, it was still looking a bit unfinished due to a lack of accessoriesRead more
Let’s face it: professional framing is expensive. A friend recently emailed me about trying to find a thrift store frame for a piece of art and told me that he’d been quoted $250 minimum from Michaels. Sure, they have specials all the time on different frame collections and you can often get 40-60% off viaRead more
You might have noticed that the site looks a little different this morning. That’s because I changed it. A lot. I’m particularly enjoying the glitter puggle. That said, there are a number of things that are still broken so please pardon our dust while we renovate. Remember last week when I declared the living roomRead more
My trip to California was great. I sat outside, did a little shopping, connected with some new and old friends and spent lots of time with my family. I even tried disc golf! You can bet I’ll be doing that again. Here are a few photos from the trip. First, the thrifting/antiquing: Frankoma, believe itRead more

I went out thrifting with a friend on Saturday. We found a Milo Baughman lounge chair upholstered in blue velvet for her and we found this for me: And also these: Though I found them on the same day, now that I’ve seen them in sunlight, I’m not actually sure that they match despite theRead more
If you’re interested in vintage stuff, there are lots of different places to acquire it. Antique/vintage stores, eBay and Etsy are generally the first that spring to mind and if you’re a new collector, looking for something specific or have more money than time (not a bad thing, just be honest with yourself), those areRead more
Stick a fork in this one, it’s done! Or rather, stick some bottles, glasses and bar tools in it. About five years ago, I saw this radio at an auction. I had no idea what I would do with such a thing, but I had to have it. So I bid on it and gotRead more
