A while back I shared with you my new home office. I had been using an old dining table (that I made over with contact paper!) as my desk but to be completely honest it wasn't really working for me. I needed storage-and lots of it. I barely had room to work in the office because the desktop was always covered in, well...stuff. So when … [Read more...]
So for a while now there's been a little situation in my house that has bothered me. Like a lot. I don't mention it much because I know a lot of us struggle with the same problem, yet many of us don't talk about it. It's, well, this: This behemoth of a TV hanging over my mantel. I'm not sure when or why this is all of a sudden the … [Read more...]
Finally! The pictures I've been waiting to share with you all for weeks (and you would have gotten them a good two weeks ago if the baby hadn't killed my laptop!) After I lost my original pictures we had an insane amount of pollen roll in and I had to wait for it to let up a bit so I could rephotograph the patio-but here it is! {eek!} I'm in … [Read more...]
When I was contacted recently by Wayfair and Hometalk asking if I was interested in participating in a DIY challenge I was so excited. You see, I have a bit of a stubborn personality and I love a good challenge to get creative! The rules were simple, Wayfair gave bloggers three different items to choose from: a bookcase, lampshade, or mirror and … [Read more...]
Did you see the vintage chair I made over yesterday? Well we bought it to accent this amazing table that my husband built last weekend. You see, we build our house last year and actually moved in last April. Shortly after moving in we decided to put in a pool which totally tore up our yard. Between the pool and then the requisite fence, … [Read more...]
Let's just roll back in time a few days to Saturday...after two weeks of being stuck in the house with three sick little boys (and being sick myself) I was, oh let's say, a little cranky. So my husband did what he knew would cheer me up-took me to the Habitat ReStore for a little chair hunting. We had spent Friday building a new outdoor dining … [Read more...]
Are you ready? I am sooooooo excited to share my final office reveal with y'all today! First, lets see what I started with, do you remember when I posted about my sons deciding to share a room and being left with this blank slate? Isn't the transformation awesome? Let's take a look at that picture of the room again and break down what … [Read more...]
Do you remember when I shared my original plan for my office/craft space and I showed you the bare bones picture of the room after I moved my four year old's things to his big brother's room? See that table there, all disassembled on the floor. Yeah, that was what I was working with for my work surface in the new office. I liked the … [Read more...]
Recently my two older boys (who are 4 and 6) decided they wanted to share a room. With my four year old's old room empty, I have convinced my husband that it should be my craft room/office. (He was not hard to convince-he hates my "stuff" being all over the house all the time!) Here is the room now: Right now I don't feel like painting … [Read more...]
I did this quickie project the other day while taking advantage of enjoying my Mom being here for a visit! It was super fast-about a half hour start to finish. I had previously mentioned that I painted the dining room table. Well, honestly folks, I'm still not loving it. I thought I'd experiement on the chairs a little to see if I could find … [Read more...]
I while back I shared my plan for my dining room makeover. Its been slow-going getting it started but I finally had a chance to paint the dining room table this week. I know, I know...some of you out there are really going to hate me for this!! Here is a picture of what it looked like before: It is/was a very nice table, in the Duncan … [Read more...]
I have been slowly but surely trying to sort through my stash of broken-things-to-upcycle in the garage lately. I showed you on Monday my Sunshine Nursery Art I made from old baby gates. Well, next on the list was this broken chair from my dining room set. We have an antique set that came with eight chairs and this one had been broken … [Read more...]
