I just love how Target always finds ways to make my bill higher than it should be.  On my most recent trip, for example, I tossed this unfinished paper mache bunny into my cart without giving it a second thought.  She felt right at home amongst the toilet paper and socks.  After bringing her home […]

    A Bold Two-Tone Turquoise Dresser Makeover

    I was lucky enough (?) to get a weird little dresser / nightstand on a local resale website for $10.  From the posted photos it looked really cute!  But once I actually got it home, I found that it had strange holes all over it, was missing trim from the right side, and was filled […]
