IN LOVE with my new shelf!
You guys, look at this shelf my sweet hubby made me! I showed him a pic of one that I liked and asked if he could make me one like it. This is what he made! I’M SUPER EXCITED!
He let me paint the shelf and bottom board white. I stained the main board a dark brown. The pegs I painted with a black chalk paint. Y’all know that I love anything distressed, so of course I had to add some distressing to my shelf! Going to post another pic below of the finished results. I used a different distressing technique than usual. I used a baby wipe and my white chalk paint to wipe on a distressed look.
I have changed the decor out already A TON on this shelf, lol! I literally change up the decor for every holiday and season, which makes this shelf the perfect addition to my craft addiction, LOL… I am sooo IN LOVE with how this shelf turned out!
all decorated for Spring/Easter

Sooo, I did a thing… quit my job, and starting my own craft business!
Hey Y’all, I have some BIG NEWS to share with everyone!! I have worked with the same doctor for over 14 years now. She ventured out about 8 years ago and opened her own functional medical practice that has grown and become very successful. She asked myself, and a few others to join her in this journey. It has been an amazing 8 years! I adore her, and I love my job & coworkers but knew it was time for a change.
I put in my notice to quit my job!!! OH EM GEE!! I’m scared, nervous, excited, overjoyed, but mostly ready to start my own journey! Y’all, crafting is my passion! I have become pretty successful at selling the shirts and crafts that I make with my Silhouette Cameo. My Facebook business page continues to grow, my Facebook live craft videos are getting great feed back, and I have recently started my blog. I have also started a YouTube channel (literally has 3 videos, lol) where I will be sharing lots of craft and painting tips. I have sooo many ideas for things I want to incorporate into my SimplyStacey Designs business, and just did not have the time working at the doctors office. Although I am going to miss them all, they did understand and wished me well with growing my own business and success.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following me on this journey, and for the well wishes, support and prayers!! I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my life, and sharing it all with all of the new friends I have made along the way.
Love & Hugs to all! Stacey

Rustic Farmhouse table
My husband made this by hand for me with extra parts that were no longer needed from his job site. I love that my hubby likes to tinker in his garage and make things. I think it makes him feel manly, and gives him a place to hide and de-stress, lol. About two years ago we started doing some wood working projects. When I started in on making rustic, distressed wooden signs… he decided that he wanted to make a few things too. So far he has crafted some shelves, frames for my signs, and my farmhouse table. They have all turned out awesome!
I am so in LOVE with this shelf my husband made! He worked in his garage a few times a week trying to complete it without me knowing! He said he saw something similar on Pinterest, and really wanted to put his own spin on it. He said it took him WEEKS just to gather all the pieces to make sure they matched and looked good together. Any time I popped my head in the garage, he would pretend he was working on another project. He was sooo excited to give it to me. When he presented it to me, he made me close my eyes, and lead me into the living room where he unveiled his masterpiece! I fell IN LOVE with it immediately! I could not wait to decorate it with all the things I love! The best part, is that he made it with his own two hands, which makes it so very special to me.
