DIY projects, thrifty home decor and easy crafts
Since we’ve redone this half of the kitchen I’ve been on the lookout for ways to decorate our newly transformed table for each season, yet blend in with my decor. One of my favorite finds is this ($1) wooden toolbox that was already painted and distressed. (Funny story: when we went on our vacation the owners of the house we… Read More

If you’ve been following along with our kitchen makeover you can see a sneak peek of our kitchen table and chairs makeover in these pictures. As usual, my DIY hubby did a great job!
