Thrifted Desk Easy Redo… without sanding!

thrifted desk before and after without sanding

I love thrifting.  There is something SO fun about finding great treasures for SUPER cheap!  I am not usually good about redos, since I have great intentions and ideas, but don’t usually deliver with the follow through.  :) I found this very cute little desk at my favorite thrift store for $15!  It seemed to…

Star Birthday Party Favors! {Wish Upon a Starry Straw}

A Cloche Before & After

Before the world of home décor blogs, I honestly had never even heard the word cloche… let alone knew what it was.  And can I admit that I still am not sure how to say it? But after seeing so many great cloche redos all across the bloggy web, I started scoping out Goodwill in…
