I'm still stuck on this Dove thing because they have been so focused on positive body images and promoting their products as being for everyone so I found it hard to believe that they put a straight up racist ad online. I mean...why just commit brand suicide like that? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Then I read that the ad had a third woman in it who followed the White woman who took off a white shirt and had a light brown shirt on underneath it because she was a light brown woman and that the ad basically meant that we are all the same under our clothes. You know...simply skin that you can use Dove body wash on.
Hurricane Nate and 30 Days of Blogging
Yesterday I passed a homeless man and couldn't stop thinking about where the homeless go during a hurricane. During Harvey, we had conversations with family and framily about how much it costs to evacuate and how a lot of people just don't have the ability to evacuate because of cost. It really puts a lot about life into perspective.
Mahogany Ornate Corner Hutch - Refinished
When I first saw this piece, the legs were busted off it and it was in a corner mad and uncomfortable.
I love anything with curves and this one had 'em big time. I drug it home, cleaned it up, repaired it, painted it and now I'm in true love with it. I left the back of it in the original state so someone can tell it's mahogany and note how old and well-made it is.

Door Hall Tree DIY
This started with a solid wood door I bought for $5. I put a shelf on it and built a storage box on the bottom. Then I put a cushioned lid on the top of the storage box, painted it, added some hooks and a mirror.
Now? It's one of my favorite things.
