I suppose no one reading this has ever started a household project that should take a mere couple of hours tops, only for it to drag on for something like 2+ weeks, right...it's just me?
Oh that's happened to you too?
Such is the tale of installing an awesome faucet in a not so awesome laundry room sink.
Most people who come to my home wouldn't describe it as old.
Around these parts old houses are those that have been here since the middle ages. But even a 20 year old well used home can find a way to complicate a simple project just like a place built before indoor plumbing.

Welcome to the April edition of the Thrifty Style Team, where I try to prove that I have an eye for rescuing some cast off or worn out piece of junk from a garage sale or thrift store.

New Fireplace Mantel With Fusion Mineral Paint
But one thing stays the same.... it's a well used room.
I mentioned that I would like to update the mantel to something bigger and brighter, and the man with the power tools and Fusion Mineral Paint accomplished both.

Dining Chairs With Old Sign Stencils
Somewhere between the stomach flu and my current head cold, I decided to get rid of a couple 20 something year old chairs.
And then I decided to keep them.

Pallet Topped Coffee & Side Tables
A couple of years ago I picked up a coffee table at a garage sale after I eyed it up for potential.
I determined I could do a little something-something with it, and for $7.00 bucks it came home with me.
This is the 3rd makeover that the family room table has received, and you know what they say - 3rd time's a charm!

Thrifty Style Team February, The Barber Shop
The Thrifty Style Team is back for 2017, kicking off February with some thrifty wares.
It's all about how to use cast off, thrifty or thrifted items in your decor.
This month I'm going to show you some of my favorite finds, although I don't know if I can actually call them thrifty since they sort of cost me thousands of dollars.It's all about how to use cast off, thrifty or thrifted items in your decor.
This old register unfortunately was not filled with vintage money.

Quirky Sign With Homestead House Milk Paint
Of course I'm not talking about myself, I haven't been lazy.
OK, yes I have, I admit it.
It's partially a patience thing, but I did make a sign.
Our high speed DSL has been acting like the evil step sister to dial up, and patience is something I have on my bucket list to experience sometime in this life.

Earthy Holiday Pillows From Sew A Fine Seam
We like it that way, specially at Christmas when the pine cones are in old crates and a fire is snapping in the hearth.
And I love these three pillows as much as the warmth of the fire and glow of the Christmas tree.
