Coffee Table Makeover and Haul 

I was going to leave the same comment. There is another RU-vidr who gets a lot of slack over how much she spends and I see no need for comments like that, we all have different budgets and you can already tell Deborah is frugal.

Hi Deborah I love watching you create. I think it's cool how you swap things out but even if you kept your stuff I would like that too. Liz at Traditions by the Seasons keeps all her stuff and she actually calls it her store. She has a space that she stores it all and shops it when she wants a change. I hated to see the fireplace go but I get it. I loved when you did the Fall decor in that room . It was spectacular but that is my favorite time of year. Looking forward to seeing what new pieces you get. Hugs , Pam ❤....oh and Maxine was a joy to see too. Beautiful cat❤️

Great haul 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

Deborah your amazing you do you my friend you never justify what you spend to us we jus love your fun hauls like today and paint tutorials etc ❤🙋🏻‍♀️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

👆what She said !! From middle Tennessee ❤️❤️

What she said.. My son married a gal from Tennessee 😅❤

I agree!

Thank you, Pat! 🤗❤️ Xoxoxo

Thank you so much! Xoxoxo

Thank you, Donna! I need to find some floating devices at the thrift store if it doesn't stop raining over here... 😆 I often go shopping and see things that I know you would like, or Lisa @CrepeMyrtleRow or Kim @MyFeatheredNest... don't be surprised if one day you get a surprise box in the mail. 😘 Xoxoxo

Thank you so much ☺️

Hi Susan! That cash envelope is empty, so I need to start selling to full it back up! 😂 It's all too fun. I think I need to be more intentional, but I see the potential in everything. 🤷‍♀️ I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. 🙂 We have more storms until Saturday. Xoxoxo

That sounds exciting! Our master needs redone also... it's way down on the list. I'm sure a break is needed! 😉 Xoxoxo

Thank you so much!! I'm still making an effort at 46... lol. I do what I can. 😂 Xoxoxo

I would absolutely Go For It! Just keep going until you love it. 😉 I am going to order some new products to try for some of my interest pieces. I'll share asap! Xoxoxo

Thank you so much! What do like to use to polish your silver? I like it both polished and tarnished. I had some excellent cleaner before moved, but I forgot the name of it. We left all our supplies like that for the next homeowners. They said leave anything you don't want. Lol. I hope you have a great weekend! I think we are getting a break from all the rain Saturday and Sunday. Xoxoxo

I use Wrights furniture cream or polish. I've used Tarnix and another product that works well but the fumes are so strong it makes me cough and I also feel it takes the shine off the silver and it cleans maybe too well more to the almost destruction of the beauty. So I trust Wrights for 56 years. If you have a really darkend piece it may take a while but I use it as therapy and "think" about life and decorating while I use it. It keeps just enough dark patina to make it feel rich and tells a story. That may sound silly, but you probably understand. Bright and shiny looks new which is also lovely especially when serving food. I always lay a paper doily on them for serving cookies, fudge and snack types of things. I avoid anything acidic to serve in the pieces. I often will take a soft bristle toothbrush to get in nooks and crannies with the wrights polish as well, rinse with warm water and immediately dry it with a absorbent cotton towel (I use old ones--the newness is worn and down to the absorbing part of the fabric). And no, I am not sponsored by Wright's Silver Polish.........HA HA HA HA, sorry I couldn't resist! I told you about the saran wrap I believe. It really helps hold back the tarnish and then about once a year I remove it and just do a short go over with the polish and use it to serve or to display. Hope that helps.......sorry for the book, but trying to think of all the hints and tricks. LOL Good luck and I love love love your hauls and selections of everything! Blessings and enjoy that new home........it's beautiful!

Thank you so much!

Thank you Marilyn! I love baskets, too. My husband doesn't understand that one can never have too many baskets... 😆 Xoxoxo

Thank you so much!🤗

Sounds like you just figured it out. Happy painting:)

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Yes, Maxine is the real talent in this household and we all know it! 🙂 I like your idea of putting the table in front of the window for plants. Our windows are low to the floor, so the plants would get plenty of light in the Den or Bonus room. Great idea! Xoxoxo

Me too! I'm glad I found those 2 lights for such a low price. Egg basket! I guess we needs some chickens and a coop now. I mean, I have the basket, so... 😂 Actually, my neighbor has chickens and they gave us a dozen one time. They were really good. Better than store bought. The yolks were brg and orange. 😋 Have a great weekend! Xoxoxo 🌸

Oh, I just wanted to explain how I shop and that I am selling things so I don't become a hoarder. Lol! I used to watch RU-vid before I started my channel and think "Wow, how much money are they spending every week?" 😂

Thanks so much! 😊

@kelly Good luck ! My mom was very talented, like Deborah, at blending & layering paint, so I pretty much learned from her, but when I was first trying to do it on my own, I would go to thrift stores and buy cheap things like frames or other things that had detail and practice - we used to just use acrylic craft paint & I still pretty much do that on decor items - there were no chalk paints back when my mom first starting painting or if there was, we certainly didn’t know about it ! Wish we could see how your projects turn out !

Sounds like 2 awesome projects ready for some paint love! Best wishes! They'll be great! Xoxoxo

Thank you so much! 😊

I'm tickled with them! I saw some for sale in Lenoir, North Carolina at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. A RU-vidr was doing a tour and they had 2 that were power motion!

I love Gerorgia! I used to go to Lavonia and Commerce all the time. I'm further away, now. I love the country of the Carolinas. We feel so blessed to live where we do. I'm hoping it doesn't grow too fast. We enjoy the slow paced living. 🥰 I will have to make a road trip to HH and Bluffton! I bet they have higher end finds. Have a beautiful weekend and happy thrifting! Xoxoxo 🌸

Thank you! I love Maxine, too. She needs a tiny treadmill, but at her age, she's just embracing the extra weight and excess sleep. 😉

😂 That would be fun, except the bugs would be like dinosaurs. Lol. When I was a child, I always wanted to have a village of little Smurfs or 🧚‍♂️ 🧚‍♀️. ☺️ Xoxoxo

You would be the most amazing Smurfette ever! Just don’t turn that blue color😂

Oh! BTW,I certainly didn’t mean to imply that you would shrink down so small that bugs would be like dinosaurs! No,perhaps you could miniaturize down to about 6 inches,you would be such a delight😊😊🥰

Isn't that the worst! I bought one recently off MP and the guy delivered it for an extra fee. It was not as described. I donated it and took the loss. I'm glad you had not paid for it. Whew! Xoxoxo

There is definitely a lot going on. It feels off. I'm working on it. Lol! By the next video, I should have it all pulled together, at least for the Summer Season. 😉💙 Xoxoxo
