Re-Upholstering A Chaise

Well, hi everyone! I hope you all have had a good week; busy I'm sure! This week was focused on organizing for winter and scouting Craigslist for awesome frugal finds!


I needed a chair - a relaxing chair - for my new office and another storage cabinet or two and doors for the closet and room door. I found four glass-pane doors so two will go on the closet - it's 48 inches wide and had mirrored bi-folds before. I'll use the other two for other closets.

5 Tips For Starting A Business & A Winner!

I am so pleased to introduce you to Tracy from Mama-press. Tracy is my guest blogger today and brings a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in starting a business - and for those who have a business, this is a great checklist.

Fab Slipcover Giveaway Reminder!

How's everyone doing? Just a note note today to remind you about the really great giveaway I have going on  - and today is the LAST DAY.

Seriously, who doesn't want a new sofa WHENEVER you want? Many of us redecorate once per decade (if that) and I'm sure that if we could change the furniture in a cheaper way, we'd re-do more frequently!
