Lowe’s Home Improvement is looking at this spot in far north Fort Worth for a new store

Lowe’s Home Improvement appears to be eyeballing a site for a 12th retail store in Tarrant County.

The North Carolina-based company with nearly 2,200 stores in the US and Canada is seeking a permit for a drainage study of about 14 acres along Avondale Haslet Road near US 81 in far north Fort Worth.

The site appears to be adjacent to the Walmart Supercenter that anchors this fast-growing corridor that’s already home to numerous fast-food restaurants and apartments.

Lowe’s already has a store in Keller on North Tarrant Parkway, about 15 miles away from the site, plus other stores in

Vintage Avion Trailers

It has been a minute since I did any updates on the trailer and the progress with putting everything back together. But- we have gotten some things done- today is all about an update on the vintage Avion floors and beds.

I shared a peek at the new flooring we were putting in previously. It is a blond wood that closely matches the original cabinetry finish. One of the things that I loved about the Avion Trailer vs Airstreams was the solid wood that was lighter in finish. I love Airstreams too- don’t get me wrong-

Tips for choosing White Paint Colors

Back in the day when my daughter was in high school, I was talking to her about needing to choose a color for a room makeover I was working on. And she said ‘Are you choosing another shade of white? Our house is nothing but shades of white.’

Tips for choosing White Paint Colors

I frowned a bit and said ‘No it’s definitely not only shades of white… I have color in the house…like…

Vintage Chairs

Sometimes there is a vintage treasure that speaks to you. Like vintage chairs which always seem to speak to me. But when they speak loudly- you listen. You look. You look at the condition vs the price vs the ‘love’ factor. And maybe you grab that treasure if the boxes are all checked. Or maybe you contemplate a bit if the price isn’t right, deciding if you should make an offer that is more in line with your comfort zone for price.

5 Favorite Beautiful Antique Treasures

I am a sucker for something that needs a little bit of love. I see the potential for a fault. Meaning- I look at something that someone fell out of love with or forgot about and no longer needs and see all the things that it could become. Our house is a great example of that. Though, the house definitely needed a lot more than a little bit of love.

But old furniture and pieces with history always talk to me too. And when I find something with carvings, fluted legs, beautiful old patina – I love them. And if
