If you just post the tutorials on Pinterest, it would be a LOT cheaper, and everyone could benefit--not just those who are able to access a particular TV network!!

I visit your site DAILY! I am sooo inspired and you have helped me tap into my creative juices. I have completed 6 projects this month. Sooo relaxing but I do stay up late at night working on things. You should look into a local television network and start a DIY TV show. I know you've been thinking about it:):) I love you! I visit your site DAILY!

I have found in the area where I live that it is better to shop the thrift stores near the ritzier neighborhoods. Rich people throw out good stuff without a thought. Another key is to shop the store whose mission is supported in your area. We have Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Hospice. My local Hospice has the best stuff. Since the people in the area support their mission they get a lot of donations that the others dont. This means that they mark things down quickly to make room for more. I score good stuff and they are able to provide their much needed services. The secret to finding the good stuff is knowing where to shop.

I especially like the white sideboard. I even like it as is with the antique and aged look. I am inspired to go thrift store browsing tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing! I just feel like I went shopping with you! So much fun! I'll have to check out my St Vincent again. It's been a while since I was there.
