In May of 2018, I left my career as an English teacher to pursue my passion of interior decorating. I opened a booth at a local antique and consignment store where I sell DIY crafts, and thrifted, up-cycled, and vintage home decor. My own home has always been a work in progress as I experiment with new trends and classic designs testing my skills as I paint, reupholster, knock down walls, wallpaper, build furniture, and much more. It is my hope that this channel will inspire and instruct others to create a beautiful home on a budget.

I really enjoyed this compilation. Hard to pick a favorite but I love the jello mold clock and the old mailbox. I will be looking for both when I am thrifting.
Can't pick a favorite as they all were fabulous! Not big on lengthy videos I usually skip them even from my favorite creators however, this one definitely gave me enough inspiration to keep coming back several times to finish it up!! You are so clever!
I have so much STUFF I can decorate a MANSION 😆! My son bans me from acquiring any more antique furniture: there's no room to put a floor lamp anywhere. Yet somehow I keep thinking, "There's enough room, I can set the lamp on a dresser to make more room!" 😄. Seriously, I'm missing out on some good stuff IN MY OWN HOUSE! I can literally dig out, dust off, and set up an entire 2ndhand store on every level of my 4-split level home and it would look so enticing I'd buy everything in sight! 😆 🤣. I'm hopeless. Hopelessly happy dreaming on. This video helps me pare down my NEEDFUL THINGS MENTALITY.
I think it all is based on our mental health! And our personality preferences, too.i can't focus or handle mess and clutter--it doesn't help me be or feel creative. My sister is exactly opposite. She has clutter & chaos all around but does her crafting regardless. It'd make me stressed out, but she is immune to it. And she laughs off my offers to help her clean it. Sigh. I'm just gonna take card of my own space so that my daughter won't be stressed when the day comes for her to handle my earthly possessions. 😊💖
Looks so nice, neat, clean, organized! I know this took time, but definitely worth it!!! Before my husband died. We tackled our small storage space in our carport: I thought it would only take a few hours, but it actually took 8 hours fir that space!!! Before we worked in it the space was stuffed to the door and we couldn't get in, let alone find anything! Afterwards it was neat, organized, tidy. Now he's gone on to Heaven but every time I go in my storage room I think of him & our laughs together over that project and it's a sweet memory. Glad you were able to make your husband happy! 😊💖
Yes, outdoor projects are terrific. I watch your videos on the TV and can't comment there, but decided to get yo my phone and be sure and give you encouragement to do outdoor ideas. I loved the small pot turned on its side by the fountain. I wouldn't have thought of that and the water can splash a bit without leaving the fountain. Great idea!
I rarely ever comment, but today I noticed that you had over 200,000 followers which you richly deserve! But I’m surprise because although you had less than 10,000 when I started watching your channel and have grown tremendously fast, (which once, again richly deserve) Iwas shocked to also see that I am no longer a follower of your channel! My bell doesn’t ring! No wonder I have to search for you! Might want to mention this to your other followers. I have had this happen with some of my other favorite, RU-vid channels, and had to re-join.
My favorite is the terrarium towards the end. You see those old jewelry boxes often in the thrift stores, and they are perfect to make into your terrarium.
Love the gold birds! And love the butterflies! I just bought a similar head vase and I haven’t decided how to fill her and now I do! My mother loved butterflies so it would be a beautiful way to remember her! Thank you so much for all your inspiring videos! I love, love, love your ideas!!! ❤️❤️
