• Dollar Tree Upcycles: farmhouse picture frames

  

  Sometimes I just want to make something cute but I don’t have a lot of time to do it. While my kids were in dance class this week, I browsed our local Dollar Tree just to see what I could find. I found these cute frames and began to consider the possibilities. Then, I found […]

• Building a faux fireplace mantle, part 3

  When we last left you, our beautiful antique mantle with its faux firebox looked like this: Nothing was painted, no stone was laid. Things were kinda bare. And unfinished.
