We’re coming up on back-to-school…already! This is the time when kids are getting anxious about who their new teacher will be and if they will be sharing the classroom with their best friends.

#12MonthsofThrifting Challenge: Black Flats
Before we get into this month’s “12 Months of Thrifting” prompt, I have a thrift confession (thriftession?) to share: shoes are on my “top five favorite things to thrift” list. The idea of buying secondhand shoes may cause many to pause but ask any veteran thrifter and I bet you they will tell you the same. Here’s why: where else …
DIY: Front Porch Rocker
Everyone that knows me realizes almost every Sunday morning at 11:00 am I can be found at Goodwill. This is my favorite day to go. So, that being said, a couple of Sunday’s ago I came across this glider rocking chair with matching glider ottoman. Lucky for me it was ticketed with the 50% off color of the day! …
What’s Your Personal Style?
Your style says so much about who you are. I’s a map of sorts. What colors you gravitate towards, what kind of lifestyle you lead, your interests, or disinterests. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear. I firmly believe just that. Every now again, however, do you want to try a …
Is it Hoarding, Cluttering or Collecting?
I often hear clients say, “I am a hoarder” or “I’m not a hoarder (like on TV).” I also hear people calling themselves hoarders, clutter-bugs or collectors.

DIY: Radio Stand Makeover
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Being a fall/winter person, I can’t say I’m a big fan of this super hot weather. But of course I would not let that get in my way of shopping! While out on a shopping spree I came across this cool vintage radio cabinet/stand. I love the shape of this stand and …
Weekdays are for Sequins!
Do you want to feel like a rock star? Wear some sequins. Do you want an extra boost of confidence and sparkle? Wear some sequins. Do you want to wear a piece of history that is one of the longest standing adornments on clothing? Wear some sequins. King Tut wore them, generals of armies wore them, and so you can …
4 UNBEATABLE SWIMSUIT STYLES FOR KIDS
By now many of us have packed our beach bags and hit the pavement on road trips to local water parks or even southern states where most days are sunny and beaches are plenty. Gathering the family and all of our belongings required for a road trip can be something we save-up for months ahead of time because let’s face …
DIY: From Hutch to Rolling Bookshelf
Lucky for me, I do seem to come across a lot of hutch tops. This one was sitting there, looking lonely and waiting to be reinvented. I was ready for the challenge. Although it really didn’t take a whole lot, it was in pretty good shape to begin with. The first thing I did was take the top molding …
