The world of DIY blogs can be an intimidating place.
Pinterest fools you in to thinking you can easily build a king size bed in just an afternoon while your kids quietly play legos in the corner for 5 hours. The truth is it just ain't like that.
I've done enough projects to realize that you don't always save money by doing it yourself. There's also a steep learning curve which takes quite a bit of time from

I'm on day 5 with a dinosaur of a temporary computer. 4 months ago we brought a brand new HP all-in-one touch screen computer from Best Buy and the drivers decided to fail last week. They are telling me it will take 2-6 weeks to repair. You want to see a mad woman you take away Pinterest for 2-6 weeks and see what kind of hell she raises.

Vintage Library Chairs.
I'm smitten with my vintage tulip table that I recently acquired from a Vintage shop.
While I'm still in the process of planning out the re-finishing process I'm already on to what kind of chairs to pair the table with.
Our current table is traditional wood farm house table (still for sale by the way) which I paired with some very modern white chairs.
I love the mix of traditional and modern. My style tends to be eclectic (although I hate that term. I once saw a space filled with 80's
