I’ve found so many good things at the thrift store lately & had to rearrange the bookshelves a dozen times to accommodate the new treasures 🤪

It’s hard to believe that I made this wreath nearly 3 years ago.

3 years in Army time…you know what that means 😔📦🌺

We didn’t plan to see a waterfall every day on Kaua’i, but that’s exactly what happened 😍

My heart hurts for that beautiful island & the devastation of the families and businesses that were affected by Hurricane Lowell. I hope they are able to recover soon ❤️‍🩹

🌺 Aloha Friday!

A little bit of Hawaii to start your weekend. 🌴

One thing I’ll always be grateful for about living here is how easy it is to find a beautiful moment in an ordinary day.

What are you looking forward to this weekend? ❤️

In my defense…the views were epic 😍

And I’m pretty sure Neil faked it anyway 🤪

What I Thrifted vs. How I Styled It: Part 47 This

What I Thrifted vs. How I Styled It: Part 47

This was one of our first furniture projects when we lived in North Carolina. We bought this dresser at the flea market there and turned it into a buffet.

In this house (& the one in Texas), we use it as a TV stand. It’s also a charging station for the girls’ phones, headphones, watches, etc. 🔌

Solid wood furniture is always a good choice, this thing has held up so well during our moves!

Aloha Friday is upon us again 🧡

We have a weekend full of projects ahead of us & I’m not mad about it ☺️ But maybe I’ll make the time to sneak off to the beach if the weather cooperates.

When I saw this BIG, brass, trophy-base lamp at the thrift store for $14.99 I knew it was coming home with me 🥰

Even with its ugly, 1970s brown lamp shade, I knew I could make it pretty. After a little fabric, glue, and frustration it fits my decor perfectly now ❤️

And the tutorial for covering the lamp shade is up on the blog!

Did I “finish” the binding on this quilt at two o’clock in the morning?

Yes.

Was I deliriously delusional (a TERRIBLE combination) and think that all the mistakes I made in the binding were “not that bad”?

Yes.

Did I take a more sober (i.e rested) second look and immediately want to punch myself in the face & light this quilt on fire?

Also, yes.

If you need me, I’ll be ripping out every damn stitch on that binding and trying again 😭😭😭
