This piece isn’t that crappy. Really, you could move it right in and use it “as is” if you needed to. It’s yellow orangish stain gives it away as a 90’s piece. Found on the side of the road left for the garbage man. Kinda sad because it has so much more to give just needs a quick update. So that is what I did, I gave it a shabby chic update. Just like the piano bench on Mondays blog...

Todays crappy to happy is a bonus. I piled up 5 little items to show you how simple it is to change something from trash to recycled in just an afternoon. When I trash troll it’s not always a winning run. Sometimes you drive all over several neighborhoods and you get nothing. That isn’t the only way I gather things to redo.

If its to large or to heavy you are getting out of the truck to help. Recently my friend Christy experienced that, she is still talking to me so I guess she was ok with it. I’m having...

I remember those days with my own little girl and things haven’t changed. Anika wanted green...

I personally struggle with things in my life that don’t have a clear answer. When you have something that clearly has life left in it but it’s been broken.

I purchased it at Hobby Lobby one fall because I thought it would be great year round. I do have a...
