Hey there friends. I hope you all had a great weekend! Saturday we stayed home and worked on projects (I'll have a great MCM dresser to share with you at some point soon.) (I'll also share with you why I ended up having to scrape decades old wallpaper off our office walls, really soon too.) On Father's Day we decided to go for a hike, which was a fantastic time and much needed because, I'm going to be honest with you all, the bathroom reno is not going well and were starting to stress about it. (I'm hoping to write a post about it in more detail on Wednesday.)

Two Toned Nightstand (& Contributor Post)
Hey there friends!
This week has been both flying by (I have been painting custom order like crazy) and dragging at the same time. I swear to you, I woke up yesterday thinking it was already the weekend. But, sigh, we still have a couple of days to go.

My Top Tips for Buying Used Furniture
Hey there!
You all know as part of my (constant) redoing of our home/little furniture business I have, I am frequently scouring thrift stores/flea markets/craigslist/antique stores/yard sales for the very best pieces of furniture.
Today, I thought I would share with you all my top tips that I keep in mind while out furniture hunting.

(Crafting your Heritage) Easy, DIY Worry Beads
Happy Monday!
I'm sure I must have mentioned this in the past, but if not, I'm half Greek. Actually, everyone thinks that I'm Italian because of my last name (hello...it's called getting married). (FYI, my other half is French Canadian, although I look absolutely nothing like that part of my family. In fact, growing up, people frequently didn't realize my mother and I were even related.)
Anyway, as a nod to our heritage we always had worry beads in our home. I remember when I was younger, I would grab them and say, "I'm so worried...I'm so worried." Seriously, though, I am chock full of anxiety.
