Giant Wooden Table
I absolutely LOVE giant wooden dining tables. One of these days when Ryan and I start our family, I am going to get a wood slab table. It just seems like the perfect family table! Read The Rest

Surprise Party Pics (80′s Theme)
I’m finally getting the pictures up! My husband turned 30 and we through him a surprise party. It turned out great and he loved it! The fist thing he said when we pulled up was, “You let me wear this?” Yes… I let him wear that because every time I tried to get him to change into something decent he complained because we were “just going over to his uncle’s house!” =) Read The Rest

Beckie at Infarrantly Creative ~ Guest Post
I am so excited to have Beckie here from Infarrantly Creative today! She is absolutely fantastic and I just know you are going to LOVE her stuff! So let’s get to it…Take it away, Beckie!
My name is Beckie Farrant, author of Infarrantly Creative and Roadkill Rescue Hero! A what??? A Roadkill Rescue Hero? Yep, I pride myself in finding curbside castaways and revamping them into usable and beautiful decor.
Take this old hutch for example…
I flipped it upside down, added some dowel rods and a little molding and created a Pottery Barn inspired book rack for my baby girl’s room.
I found this 80’s parquet China cabinet that needed a new lease on life. It had chunks of wood missing on the sides and was destined for the dump.
So I thought outside the box and used paint sticks to cover the blemishes. Once painted you would never know the difference. Then I added some bead board wallpaper to cover up the parquet doors, a little fabric, new knobs and a few coats of black paint and she is fabulous!
I found a vintage TV cabinet left for dead on the side of the road.
After removing the TV and making a few adjustments it is gorgeous as a console table in my entryway.
I have recently begun a love relationship with reupholstering. I took two vintage wingback chairs and turned them into show stopping pieces for my family room.
