A Dustbunny Life sums up my philosophy. I’d rather be hanging with friends, eating a big bowl of popcorn and watching a movie with my kids, having a glass of wine with my hubs … anything other than worrying about a constant state of house perfection. I’m here to proclaim dust bunnies are the new…
I did the moonwalk when I found the $6 thrift shop dresser! I almost crashed into a lamp post when I spotted all the goodies at my $20 yard sale score! But I do believe this might take the cake as my all time favorite find! Isn’t she a beauty?! A 1950’s metal glider with…
Gotta love a good estate sale! My tip – hit garages and basements first. It’s where I find the best and cheapest stuff! Here’s my recent haul from a day at two sales. Two milk crates will make great storage for magazines or I may hang them as shelves. I have a few of these…
Spring has Sprung! Sunshine! Good Times! Blooming Bulbs! Frolicking in a Meadow! (ok, well maybe not that last one)! Away with the heaviness of winter and in with something fresh and simple. My vintage green glass collection was gathering dust bunnies so I moved some faves to the mantel where I can enjoy them in a…

Some exciting news! I’m in the process of moving my blog to this site! Warning – this site is a construction zone! I’m hoping to get everything moved over this week but in the meantime, the blog may not be looking her best so pardon her appearance.
I remember when my mom had me polish her silver tea set – not fun! Getting into all those nooks and crannies was nearly impossible and then after all my hard work, the damn thing would tarnish right up again! I have the perfect solution – embrace the tarnish! I’ve been collecting silver plate platters…
I think Andrea of Oak Ridge Revival may be my separated at birth thrifting sistah – I may demand a DNA test!So we decided to swap (we’re kinky like that!) blogs for the day and share some of our thrifting scores. Hi, I’m Andrea from Oak Ridge Revival and it appears that Kelly and I were separated…
When we bought this run down house, I was thrilled with the prospect of being able to create my dream kitchen! Ceiling high white cabinets (they are actually gray for a warmer feel but look white), marble counters, a fun red stove and a farmhouse sink were on my wish list. Here’s what I was…
Vintage Filled Kitchen
Dream Dressing Room
It started off like any other estate sale. Some great vintage finds included a small globe bank (you know I collect globes, among other things!), some more fab mason jars with zinc lids, a small galvanized tub with handle and an old wire bin. More mason jars with zinc lids, wire basket and vintage globe…
It’s the first snow day of the year and it made me realize how much I love my mudroom. Muddy boots, wet coats, soggy socks – they’re no match for me anymore! Just drop them all behind in the mudroom and shut the pocket door! When we bought the house, there was no mudroom. We…
I adore vintage feather trees which are made of dyed goose feathers and were the very first artificial Christmas trees made to resemble the white pines in the German forest. The feather tree originated in Germany in the 19th Century, and was first created in an attempt to prevent further deforestation. Forget about the workers – what…
Jello Mold Wreath
Ladder Christmas Tree
From a leaking roof and puddles on the floor to a bright and cheerful sun room and one of my favorite places to curl up with a book. What a difference a renovation makes! We replaced the windows, refinished the floors, and gave it a fresh coat of paint (and a blue ceiling). Today, the sun room…
The first step to overcoming a problem is admitting you have one. Okay, I admit it, I love old junk! That may not sound serious to some but when I can’t drive down the road to pick up a gallon of milk without screeching to a halt when I spy a garage sale, it’s definitely…
