This post will share how to create a Banquet Table Décor For Under $10. Boy Scouts of America was founded on February 8, 1910.

Turquoise, Gold and Tortoiseshell
It’s no secret that I adore French furniture. My two favorite styles are from the Louis XV and Louis XVI time of reign. Recently I have been having a moment of adoration with Louis XVI commodes. A French commode is a low cabinet or chest of drawers. The word commode literally translates to “convenient” Which is probably why American’s butchered the word to describe certain indoor plumbing. I really love commodes with painted finishes. Commodes were often placed between two windows ... View the Post

A while ago my cousin “T” sent me this cigar box that she had purchased at a Philadelphia estate sale a few years ago and asked me to “Do something with it.” Inside the box was one lone cigar band.

Finally I decided to create a shadowbox with a very literal theme. Enter the ... View the Post
