MY MISSION is to help you re-create your space to feel joy, and contentment in every phase of life. ABOUT
I’m a DIYer at heart and I love creating new things, revamping spaces, and breathing new life into time-worn pieces and overlooked elements. I’ve learned “How To” over the years while doing my own projects around our property. I have a knack for being creative and a deep passion for home, fami

ly, and faith. WHAT I DO
I’ll help you transform a space into something you’ll love and appreciate while doing my best to work within your budget. I’ll get down and dirty, doing all of the work myself, so you don't have to. I guess I’m pretty much a “DIYer for hire”. I’m a believer in being frugal and resourceful to keep costs down while still achieving the look desired. WHAT I OFFER
I provide an array of decor-related products and services. I offer everything from indoor/outdoor makeover spaces and seasonal decorating to handmade gifts and decor. It’s pretty much a kitchen sink approach to decorating. Makeover Spaces- This includes the option for surprise reveals (when and if possible) including a series of mini reveals if your plan evolves over time. If you’re looking to reinvent an area or give a simple refresh to a space, I’m here to help whether it’s rented or owned, indoor, outdoor, or even on wheels. Seasonal Decorating- If you lack the time, energy, or know-how, I’m your help. I will decorate inside your home so you can focus on what’s important to you. Event Decor- Vintage, rustic, and handmade items are available to rent for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and even small yard and garden parties. Search the albums in the photo tab to explore the pieces and possible styling options to become your own event stylist. (THIS SERVICE IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD.) WHY I DO IT
Help is missing for the person that wants to hire a decorator but doesn’t have the typical budget to do so. I believe creating a beautiful space can be done without breaking the bank. I’m here to help you get it done even if it means taking baby steps over a period of time to complete your project. It really CAN happen! I’d love for you to see the inspirations and solutions that I have for your space and I feel like I can bring to light what you want done for your home.

This tree was sooo fun to decorate!! The color explosion brings me so much joy and I'm certain it will do the same for the children who gather around it! Bright pink, blue, red, green, and purple pops fill the tree. Handmade ornaments from the children and those that stir special memories find their way on the branches until every space is filled! I love it!
Oh, and the most darling supervisor was on duty this morning. Look at those sweet eyes. ❤🥰
Thanks for trusting me with your holiday decorating, Chelsey! 😊

It's decorating day! 🥰❤🔔🎄✨
This is such a beautiful tree to decorate! It's gorgeous even without adding ornaments. Ribbon is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to enhance a tree. If you want something different the following year, swap it out for something new and use the old for wrapping gifts, or pass it on to someone looking for something different and willing to try something new. Who's ready to add ribbon to their tree? 🧐
I think this particular ribbon is one of my favorites! The striped design enhances the swoops and swirls as it twines around the tree, creating a sense of movement. I grabbed some of this for myself and tucked it into my stash.
Thanks for trusting me with your holiday decorating, Mike & Amy! 🥰

Well, are you coming? To the North Pole, of course! This is the Stay Wild Gifts Express!

I always have the most fun when given the freedom to be creative!!! I love expressing myself that way and my business has become an outlet for that...not always but often.
Erin, the owner of Stay Wild Gifts, requested a holiday storefront display that would work with what she already had. She was also looking for impact that would set her storefront apart from the rest. My idea sprouted from this cute little North Pole sign. It sparks all the vintage and nostalgic feels of looking through the frosted windows of a holiday wonderland.
Like a good little elf, I went to work and created a Polar Express theme by using low or no cost items such as cardboard, paper, and paint. The display glows like a snow globe! The downy snow radiates and brings the entire window to life with paper snowflakes and sentiments of Christmas past!!

What items can you repurpose or upcycle to create a festive flair in your holiday home?

For anyone considering some holiday help, I still have a little wiggle room in my schedule. All aboard!!!! It's going to be a beautiful season!

Please message me directly! I'd absolutely love to help!

Scroll all the pics! ❤
This isn't much of a before and after...it's more of a during and after. 😂 I get a bit anxious when I start projects and forget to pause...take a few snapshots...and begin. Sometimes I've missed the boat completely. 😬
This is a project that looked simple enough but turned into a real challenge. Things go that way sometimes. It's all part of the adventure...and to be expected. Approximately 28 hours of sanding definitely provided me with some alone time. 🤣
These plant stands have a fresh new finish that look so lovely in their new home! Do you recognize that buffet? 🧐 It's a project that I completed last year and it's definitely a favorite of mine. I absolutely love seeing the transformation of each piece that I restore. If it weren't for that and the appreciation of my customers, I would have given up a long time ago. It's soooo worth it!
Thank you, Mike & Amy!! I'm looking forward to decorating your home for the holidays! ❤❤❤

Putting down mulch is no easy job but it's always so, soooo satisfying!! 😍
I have served this couple for the past three years with weeding and clean-up at the beginning and end of the growing season. Gardening is their passion, but their ability to manage the area between my visits had become overwhelming.
They decided to downsize the number of plants in the area and have landscape fabric installed along with a heavy layer of mulch while avoiding the spaces where spring bulbs would grow. 🌷🌷🌷 Welp, I'm always thankful when I remember to take the before and after shots. It definitely paid off this time! I had a pretty good idea of where these bulbs were hidden by referencing previous work sessions. 😁 I marked out areas with stakes where landscape fabric was avoided for planting annuals and where spring flowers would emerge.
As I worked, I pondered having to let go of my own garden and how difficult that would be. I thought about not having the ability to do things myself and tend to my space whenever I felt the need for a bit of solitude, sunshine, and what I call "dirt therapy". I pray that having a fresh layer of mulch to freshen up the space soothed their hearts as they watched me work from the window. I will forever love this couple!❤️ They have taught me things about gardening that will never be found in a book. 🥰

It's time for the before and after show!! ❤
Y'all know how I love to rescue heirloom furniture!! This little gem was hidden beneath layers of dark finish, showing wear and years of use. This customer requested a new finish, a few simple repairs, and an updated look for the seat that would blend well with farmhouse styles.
After removing the old finish and prepping the surface, I gave it a coat of stain and covered it with an oil finish. I love using a hand-rubbed finish on antique pieces! It's easy to refresh a piece by simply applying another coat.
A removable slipcover updated the chair's look while keeping a piece of its history intact. It's easily removed for a quick wash, if necessary.
I am so excited to have had the opportunity to breathe new life into this well-loved chair that belonged to Rondee's grandfather. ❤ Thank you for trusting me with something so dear to you. 🥰❤

Just when ya think something will be easy, the finish decides it doesn't want to budge. 😂 That's where the grit comes in...literally. 😁
But, it's a GORGEOUS late summer day to be outside soaking up the fresh air while listening to my Jesus tunes along with a bit of country. Life is good. Happy Thursday, y'all! ☀ ❤️
..and yes, I've completely failed at posting projects. There's more to come so stay tuned!

I dreamt about this project several years ago. I wanted to create an oasis in our yard that would feel like an escape and also serve as something more. Last month, our vacation time didn't pan out like we had hoped. Life happens. However, it did give me time to work on this long-awaited space and I had everything I needed outside of a drain kit...which has yet to be installed. Not only can we enjoy cooling off in the summer heat without the expense of having a pool and killing the grass, but we can also repurpose the water in the flower gardens. I hope to come up with a system that has eye appeal and will capture the rain so we can do just that. I cannot wait to show the grandkiddos how much fun it will be to take a dip when the sun goes down. I hope this inspires you to create an oasis in your own space. ❤

This is a perfect example of the wrong plant in the wrong space for its intended use. Although this hydrangea is beautiful, the owners constantly fought its size to utilize this corner as a sitting area. The space was also being taken over with wild berry bushes and Virginia creeper. After the area was cleaned up, the space was revamped with what was on hand from previous projects and some potted herbs and flowers. The owner was heavily involved in placing things just where they needed to be to make this private corner a place to escape, sit, and reflect. ❤
