Refinishing a Dresser….it’s easier than you think!
I'm kicking myself. Once again I did a piece of furniture without a before picture. I swore I had taken one though, but apparently I didn't. I've checked 2 cameras and my phone...nothing.

Glory Babies…Part 1
I loved Mother's Day yesterday. A day where everyone recognizes moms everywhere for all that we are and all that we do. It's nice to have a day like that because as much as we all love it, being a mother is hard.Wanting to be a mother and having difficulty with that, well, that is hard too. And that is a reality that I can understand as well.Two years ago on … [Read more...]
