New Store!

My daughter, Jen, and I opened an Etsy store today. It's something we've talked about doing and decided to jump in with both feet. Lesson one - I have to take more time with photos! My first images were done with my little Cannon Power shot for quick & easy access but I set it for web size images and everything is a bit blurry. I will be playing around with that. Any tips are welcome. ;) I am used to using my Nikon and shooting outdoors. It is different doing pictures of close up smaller items.

Our store will have re-purposed and re-cycled items that include floral arrangements and accessories for your home. We are also working on several furniture pieces to sell locally in the DFW Texas area. My daughters live there and I will be traveling to help work on the pieces and market them.

This is a wonderful opportunity to do something we love and to spend more time together.

The designs are styles that work with today's casual and comfortable lifestyle. Our furniture will be painted with custom paints and designs and have that casual feel for everyday living.  Yes, I know this a trend that is everywhere in blog land so hopefully there is room for one more.

Since I also do home staging and small interior remodels we will be offering this type of service in addition to our home accessories and furniture. So feel free to contact us and ask questions at anytime!

Happy shopping!

Proud mom moment!

So, I whined about my yucky yard project that I was not thrilled about BUT is turning into a really fun project.

Today, I want to share a proud mom moment. Have I told you that I have the most amazing kids? Um, I'm SURE you've never heard that before. (cough, cough) Seriously, it's true. (huge grin)

Well, at least they have their moments and this week my two oldest let those moments shine! With some help from their sweet and awesome Aunt and a BFF that has earned her title these ladies have juggled work, college exams, job searches, and day to day life while laying sod, cleaning and clearing out the dregs of winter AND taking their little tired inherited hand me down patio set and transforming it to something hip, happening and FUN!

I know, I know, SHUT UP all ready. (still grinning)

The tired redwood that matched the deck is no more.

 

With a little sanding, elbow grease and the magic of paint they have a great new space for outdoor living. Oh, and how can I forget to mention the PERFECT cushion find that a little trip to World Market provided and there you have it. Fun, right? Now that's a mother's day gift ladies!  Seeing all those moments cuddling in bed reading bedtime stories,  nagging mom moments to do your home work, clean your room, worries, and sleepless nights pay off with an AH HA moment. The fruits of your labor paying off. I love you girly girl 1 & 2!

 

Teresa Stephens Harvey is revamping furniture!

Re-love a great piece ....

It begins...you have a great piece of furniture that is perfectly serviceable but it isn't adding much to you space. Take a look and get creative!

Now it's time to start on the changes...Step I: Make sure it is in good working order and clean

Step 2: PAINT. Think of a color that will work with your space and brighten up your room. 

This weekend Teresa Stephens Harvey got her craft on with this cute piece. Love how it turned out. Have an order for 2 more from a client for her sweet princess.
