I frequent the Goodwill, looking for diamonds in the rough and spotted this ottoman for $7.99, but it was 50% off that day, so it came in around $4. I had been looking for an ottoman for my rocking chair in my master bedroom, so I can kick my heels for a few minutes when I am holding my babies. Here it is with a slipcover made from leftover fabric from my bed linens... so there was no additional cost for that today. Love that! I ... READ MORE »
Trend Watch: Fresh Colors for Painted Cabinets
I have had several people ask me lately what color to paint their cabinets.

I’m Beginning to See the Light
I know I have been doing a lot of lighting projects on here lately, and I promise we will take a break, but we have been playing musical light fixtures here. This transformation is way too cool. How many of you have inherited a ceiling fan that looks like this? Pickled oak, brass, frilly shade covers... Screams early '90s. Bad '90s not the good. But a new one would cost about $150 or more.
