31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 31 “Change Is Good”

Today’s Before & After is pretty obvious… I got a make over. Well my blog did. It was time for a change and many more are coming but in small steps. Below is what my banner looked like for quite awhile, bye, bye old Hello new! But the biggest and best before & after is

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 30 “Holiday Decorating with Natural Elements”

Nature not only provides beauty for us to enjoy when we are outside, but it also provides things for us to bring into our homes and use for decorating. I’m gearing up for Christmas…already. I want to get me tree up as soon as possible, this allows for what I call progressive decorating. Meaning…get the

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 29 “Table Talk”

Probably my favorite change that has taken place in our home this month is my kitchen table. It’s been through a lot. We’ve had it almost twenty years and I plan on keeping it twenty more. I’ve always liked my table, but now I LOVE my table. I love it because it’s a great place

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 28 “Puzzled”

Oh I can just see it now… ya’ll are thinking; “she did this already” but don’t be  so hasty,  you might be pleasantly surprised 🙂 I was digging through my toy box the other day, looking for something that I didn’t find. I made a huge mess and it’s still there, all strewn about the

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 27 “Coffee Table”

My coffee table is “really” a coffee table & a conversation piece & handmade & funky! There is not another one like it. My friend Trent made it. He and his wife had it in their home for a time and the put it in their garage sale, I’ve had it ever since. I will

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 26 “Logging”

I bet Paul Bunyan never had this much fun in his logging days. So what if he had a blue ox named Babe, I have Rudy, Rover and Mr. Rust. Mr. Rust and I have been having some discussions about my impatience with him, I’m totally going to blame this on my state of sadness

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 25 “A Funky Fox Hunt in Texas”

I’m not sure if we hunt fox in Texas…or is it foxes? Is fox like moose, it’s single and plural? How did I get down that rabbit hole? Back on track. Okay. Vintage fabric found in an antique store in Ingram,Texas, just Northwest of Kerrville. That’s in the Hill Country. I planned to make pillows

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 24 “The Verdict; Guilty of Chair Abuse”

I love chairs. Not one particular style, any one can catch my eye & make my heart go pitter-pat. I’ve told you this before, even admitted that it might be a bit of an obsession. *sigh* there are worse things I suppose. One of the most used chairs in my home was in need of

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 23 “Corrected & Completed”

Years. It’s been years. Many years that I had planned to do something with this eyesore. Back up. It wasn’t always an eyesore, but it became one when I began experimenting and then walked away from the project and never finished. Now you know my secret. Thus the reason for me taking this 31 Days

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 22 “The Switch Up”

This before and after began as one idea and morphed into another while in the middle of creating…this happens from time to time, sometimes you just have to surrender to those funny little detours, these typically make the journey much more fun and the end result is usually better than the original idea. I think
