I love the writing style of the blog. Actually there is nothing I did not enjoy. Amazing what you can do with little money and talent. Do not forget the talent all of you visiting this blog. I used to visit shop sales, 2nd hand shops, garages the lot and end up with something that looked like a 2nd hand shop.

My best friend and I hit yard sales, garage sales and rummage sales every Saturday morning (usually about a dozen or more here in the Tampa area) and we have completely decorated our apartment, set up my office and found DVDs and CDs to entertain us, for very little money. Thanks for your blog.

This is a really cool site/blog, it's probably one of the very few where I click through to other sections. I've just finished reading the kitchen cabinet article under DIY and it was great, the pics are really cool as you can actually see what's been done. Worth checking back with this one, great tips,advice,projects. Go see it.

I love what you did with your porch! I have some old vintage sheets that are really beautiful, and I couldn't get rid of, but they don't match anything in our bedrooms. I can't wait to try hanging them in our sunroom like you did with your porch. Great idea :)

Theresa Hall Said:

What a wonderful web log site you have. I have seen your avatar around but cannot believe I hadn't visited you before this. I love your site and how organized it is. I also enjoy vintage and victorian but my husband is a no frills kind of man, so I have to settle for looking at all the feminine and dainty things. That furniture you re-finished. Is that a purple red? That is my favorite color and you have given me an idea for our bedroom furniture. I'm absolutely hooked on HGTV and I'm sure I'll be back to visit you now I know what you have up your sleeves. Please stop by any time you're free.
P.S. I didn't see a place after your posts to leave a comment. Did I miss it? Take care!
