Distressed Vintage-Inspired Wood Drawers

Learn how to beautifully age, distress and transform new wood drawers into perfectly distressed vintage-inspired storage.  Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I just got back from a week in Myrtle Beach and it was just what this girl needed.  Lots of sunshine, amazing food, relaxation and much needed time away from work and social media.

Summer Decorating: Budget-Friendly Deck Refresh

Budget-friendly updates you can make to refresh your summer deck and outdoor decor for less!  A huge thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post and giving me the kick in the pants I needed to refresh our deck!  Last year, I got rid of our old four piece wicker conversation set with the goal of getting all new deck furniture this summer.   That idea quickly changed when gas and groceries prices increased and I just couldn't justify spending unnecessary money on something I didn't actually need.   Instead, I decided to do a little power washing, planting, cleaning and painting and make a few budget-friendly purchases to refresh our deck for summer.  I gave the backyard garage door area a $200 makeover , built a modern trashcan screen ,  overhauled the exterior of the shed and shed deck and now it was time to tackle the large deck!
