When Your Stager Nixes Christmas – Home Tour

December 5, 2017 by Patti 18 Comments

No holiday decorations allowed!

These were the exact words of our stager as we began the process of de-cluttering our house to put on the market.

So while Thanksgiving banners waved gaily on our street, our house had nary a wreath upon her door.  And when neighboring halls began their be-decking, our house stood naked of outward adornment.  Naked yes, but confident in her own Southern charm to bring a quick sale.

I have a secret to share with you today.

I don’t share this secret with any ol’ Joe because, well, there are certain things that a blogger only shares with her beloved readers.  Dirty little secret things.

The Ups & Downs of Painting & Waxing Upholstery

May 28, 2017 by Patti 29 Comments

Sometimes all we need is a little bit of a makeover to feel pretty.  True for people and true for shabby little French chairs as well.

I thought it was about time to give you another look at some of the Old Things New projects I’ve been doing around my house.

August in Review & HGTV Ahead!

August 30, 2016 by Patti 19 Comments

HGTV Tiny House Hunters Red Carpet Premiere Party!

Tiny House Hunters LogoLooking back through pictures I’ve taken during the month of August I thought it would be fun to do a “Looking Back” post highlighting some of my favorite things, and also give you a “tiny” peek at what’s ahead.

First the peek ahead because . . . EEEK . . . I can hardly contain myself!  Back in May I posted on my Facebook page that I had the opportunity to assist in decorating one of HGTV’s Tiny House Hunters tiny houses (whew that’s a mouthful) alongside some dear friends of mine.  After that initial news we were required to keep all hush-hush about our awesome, crazy, fun experience.  This Saturday night, those of us who were the decorators for this Piecrust Productions, Tiny House episode will be getting a sneak peak of the show at our own Outdoor Premiere Party!

I’ll keep you updated as to the date it will air on TV so stay tuned!

On now to the looking back part and sharing some things I’ve done, some things others have done (that I LOVE), and a few family photos.
