February 26, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

Updated December 2024.

I am writing you today from my daughter’s home in Utah!  I flew up yesterday to help her pack to move to Georgia. I will also drive with her across the country to her new home with 4 of our grandkids.  What an adventure, right?

Okay, NOW onto the real reason you are here.  This recipe for Pistachio Pineapple Pudding Salad is definitely a family favorite.

This Pistachio Pineapple Pudding Recipe is the perfect balance to a savory meal.  It has the fluffy sweetness that everyone likes at the end of a meal.

Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover

January 29, 2014 By Meegan 16 Comments

Happy Wednesday to all of you!!  Are you freezing where you are???  Luckily for me, I am warm and cozy.  AND, I have been busy with painting our room, craft cupboard and now a thrifted coffee table makeover.

We had company over the weekend, and I was able to back and just look at our home.  I saw all of the work I have done of the past 3 1/2 years.  I can honestly say, I am liking the look.

To see more of my living room, check out Jeanette’s blog Country Design Style.  I was a guest on her blog yesterday, and gave a full tour of our living room.  (Thanks Jeanette!!)

Looking mighty fine!!

Before and After Table

Here is a quick picture of before and after.

Last week I went to REstore and found a flat antique white paint (super cheap, I might add!).  It was the exact white I was looking for to paint my thrifted table.  Definitely time for a makeover.

Using a dry brush and the flat antique white paint, I got to work.  I painted over the majority of the table.  Then with sand paper, I started on the next step.

I sanded in various areas on the table.  Then I got a hammer and dented the top of the table.  I know!!  It was really fun to use the back end of my hammer and hit the table top.  Plus, it gives the worn look I want.

The sanding is always fun, too.  I like to see the various colors that come through around the corners and edges.

So here My Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover is in all it’s glory.  Easy peasy and it only took about 2 hours to complete.

Not too bad, right??

Do you have a piece of furniture that you need and/or want to paint?  I would love to hear all about it!!

Thanks for joining me today.  I appreciate and read EVERY comment.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday.

A Christmas Tree Home Tour

December 17, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

Hello Hello!!  Christmas is just days away and nine bloggers and I have a beautiful and creative Christmas Tour of Homes for you.  Thanks to Rachel from Like a Saturday for putting it altogether!   To see the full tour schedule and to link up on December 20th, visit Rachel at Like a Saturday.

Christmas tour of homes

 If you are coming from Kayla’s blog Home Coming-WELCOME!!  I am so happy to have you here!!

Today, I am thrilled to share our Christmas Trees with a Christmas Tree Home Tour.  I LOVE Christmas trees.  But our 950 sq foot condo is too tiny for the size tree I want, so I have 4 little trees that bring the Christmas feeling into our home.

A Christmas Tree Home Tour

Each tree is unique and adds to the feel and look of our home.

This first tree is in our living room window.

It is filled with vintage “Shiny Brites”, snowflakes and icicles.

I used a glitter and crystal filled garland to lay around the tree as well.

The tree sits in my fleur box, along with the natural and glittered spheres from Pier One.

This white ornament is special because it was sent from one of my blog readers!!  Isn’t she sweet??

My next tree resides in our bedroom.  The colors are blue (one of my fave colors), silver and gold, with crystals scattered throughout.

With more vintage gold “Shiny Brites”,  I was able to get the look and feel I wanted for our bedroom.

The bedroom tree sits in a barn wood box. and surrounded with burlap.

You can see the cracks in some of the glass ornaments, showing the wear and age on them.

“Merry Christmas” adorns the top of the tree, as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

One of my Christmas trees is also in the living room,  sitting in a vintage reproduction sleigh.   I decorated the tree with a pine cone garland that I made last year.

The Santa and toys were crocheted by my grandma.  Since she has passed on, they hold special meaning to me each year when I pull them out of the box.

Doesn’t Santa look excited to deliver toys on Christmas Eve??

Last, but certainly not least, is my DIY Flocked Tree in a Terracotta pot.  Having it sit right by my vintage birdhouse is a perfect place for my bird ornaments.

My Christmas Tree Home Tour has been so fun to share with you.  Each one makes me smile every time I see them and especially when they are lit up.  Be sure to also see my WHOLE Christmas Home Tour.

Thanks SO much for coming over for the Christmas Tour of Homes!  I KNOW you will enjoy each and every home as much as I have.

Your next stop on the tour will be with Gracie from Kitchen Table Art, tomorrow morning!!  You will not be disappointed.
