An Antique Love Story

I met this gorgeous hutch back in November at a local antique store. It was love at first sight. I have been thinking about it ever since, looking at it every time I shopped at the store. I just couldn't bear the thought of it sitting in that store any longer...the time came to bring it home with me. I LOVE this piece of furniture. I have it in our living room and plan to use it as a bookcase. There is plenty of storage too which will help with our storage dilemma. I am sooo excited to accessorize this beauty! I didn't get it for cheap, but I think it is worth what I paid. It is going to look even more fabulous with a little TLC.

Finally Warmer Weather

The sun was shining a couple of days ago and I just had the itch to spray paint something. I painted some frames...

And a Hobby Lobby find that is looks kind of springy when it is all painted...

There is a lot more waiting to be painted. I haven't found a home for these items I painted yet, still thinking up something for the frames.

Thank you Hobby Lobby

Our Hobby Lobby has been having a bunch of 90% off home accents and I've been snatching up finials like crazy. So many of them are gold, and it's just not my thing. I painted this one antique white again with my Glidden paint.

I like this color because it is super neutral and clean looking. I did add some glaze, but haven't taken a picture yet. Just imagine little bits of glaze trapped in the beautiful lines.

Topiary Love

I was in Idaho Falls last weekend and went to a small home decor store. Everything was really pricey, but I spotted this cute little topiary and wanted to take it home. I collect them and love them in all shapes and sizes. It wasn't marked and so I inquired about the price thinking it was probably $5-$10. The clerk came back and told me it was $1.99...um, I'll take it. It has a perfect little home and an owner who loves it!

I'm addicted!

Hi, my name is Cami and I'm addicted to moss covered balls. There is not a single soccer, basket, grapevine...ball that is safe. By summer I may just have them all covered in moss!

Okay, really this is my last one...wait, doesn't every addict say that?

I found the red bowl at Hobby Lobby 80% off, making it $4.79. I need more color in my house...love it!




I also wanted to share a couple of recent finds. I found this lamp at Hobby Lobby for 80% off, making it $16.00. I didn't love it at first because I thought it was too tall, it has since grown (no pun intended) on me and I adore it!


I found this frame at the Dollar Tree. I like it as is, no painting required. Aren't those three boys divine?
