I mentioned about a month ago that we got new couches for our living room. With the new set up we needed an end table to go in the corner between the two. I did not want to spend a ton of money because like I said about the couches, I don’t see this as …
So our home is from 1989. And the deck is too. The prior owners had stained it twice. It’s been in need of redoing since we moved in over three years ago, but this summer it finally made its way up to the top of the to do list. Now let me just say this …
I love summer for many reasons, one of those reasons being yard sales. The thrill of the hunt for a bargain, never knowing what you’ll find is exhilarating. Here is one of my finds from this summer that I LOVE. I scored this baby for $1! I know she looks a little rough in the …
So things have been rather busy around here but my husband and I have squeezed in a little bit of time to work on the house. When I came home from my trip to Virginia he surprised me with a freshly painted front door and trim. The door was hunter green before and now is …
This past week I finally got around to making a Spring wreath. It’s the second wreath that I’ve ever made. I made one for my sister back in 2012. This one, to be exact: I used a straw wreath that I got at Joannes, wrapped it in jute twine, then attached a few burlap flowers …
I blogged about this before on my old blog, but like I’ve said before, I’m working on moving my old sewing and crafting posts over here. I’ve actually lived with this Roman Shade now for almost 2 years and it still works well. Excuse the darkness of the photos of the process, my sewing studio …
About two years ago I posted about this on my old blog and I wanted to bring it over here to share the details and provide an update on how it’s held up over 2 years. So here’s the original post with an update at the end: I LOVE quick projects that I can get …
I was inspired to make some fabric covered cork boards after seeing some beautiful ones on Etsy. I gave one to my sister and I hung the other one in my studio space in the basement. I looked up some tutorials on other blogs, but I decided to go a slightly different route, so I …
Good morning! Today I’m sharing with you all my IKEA Tundra review. As I mentioned in my kitchen before and after post, we have been working on our 1980s kitchen ever since we moved into our home two and a half years ago. The changes that have had the biggest impact have been painting the …
A little while ago I was introduced Ana White’s website full of DIY furniture plans. I am completely addicted and have bookmarked tons of projects I want to build for our home. If you have not yet heard of her, please check her website out! She’s this amazing woman from Alaska with a website full …
I gave a Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations review in a post on my previous blog back in March of 2012. However, I wanted to bring it over here because I think it is still useful. In addition, I’d like to provide an update of how the cabinets are holding up after 2 years of use. Just …
I covered some of this in an old blog that I used to have, but I wanted to share updates to our kitchen. We bought our home two and a half years ago with a desire to put in some sweat equity. Built in 1989 it was in a great location, but not in good …
