* Phew… Does anyone else think the summer is slipping away??? Between trips, guests, lake, a U2 concert, looking for a job, and finding a job, I have little time left for house projects. I better get on it, pronto. * I recently found out that the best way to clean a room is going […]
This is a story of a long journey of one ugly duckling lamp. The Lamp began it’s existence what looks like forever ago. Quite possibly in times of your grandma’s youth. Its shade had, in addition to a burnt spot on the soul inside, questionable leaf-y cut-outs on the face outside. The lamp, once youthful […]
Operation “Organization” is proving to be more and more fruitful. I not only declutter the house, but also find old things to reuse for something new. First it was a grandma dress turned crop top. Then I found this shirt hubby didn’t want any more. I loved the color of this shirt and thought it […]
Crop tops are everywhere these days… And even though I’m not a fan of showing off my belly, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and get myself one of those… (It can always be worn with a tank underneath.) I was set on buying one at Forever 21, but during my Operation “Organization” I […]
Our little lake cottage has been through a lot. It is very old. It used to be disgusting and cats would come here to die. I’m not even fibbing! You won’t be able to tell now after our amazing remodeling… otherwise I wouldn’t have lived here. (I’ll try to scavenge some gross before pictures one […]
Yawnsville ——> Awesomecity I’ve had this tray for a while and it has been very practical in the household of beer lovers and on-the-couch eaters. This whole time, however, it has been very coy in the midst of all the brown in our living room. It was time for the tray to stand out and […]
Last Saturday, Kirbylicious and I spent all day shopping. Bliss! Our first stop (after Panera of course) was at Plato’s closet. I love that place and I think it’s genius! In addition to 2 pairs of brand new shows for $8 and a few cute shirts, I also purchased this dress. I love the colors […]
It’s almost summer and I want to freshen up our bed/bedroom. I didn’t want to buy anything new, just use what I had available. It’s not much, basically a bunch of pillow mixes:) I thought I’d show you a few options and see what you think. (I do LOVE your input and suggestions.) To give […]
Here I shared my plans to redecorate our spare bedroom on a budget. I also mentioned that it’s going to be a slow process. So far, I’ve been true to my words:) I bought the bedding (above) and needing to buy a queen-size blanket (somehow all our blankets are king…). I also purchased bright yellow […]
* Prepare ye selves for some Top glue Gun action* We like us some wine. We’ve always known what to do with the contents of a wine bottle. Now we know how to use wine corks. It seems only fair that the bottles themselves get to be repurposed, no? Check out my latest DIY project. This […]
