The outside of our little cottage underwent just as big of a transformation as the inside. If not bigger. Take a peek and judge for yourself. Our contractors changed the siding of the house completely and moved the front door. Front window was significantly enlarged. Roof may be new as well, I’m not sure. And […]
My in-laws bought the cottage we live in now about 5 years ago, in 2006. When I first saw it (before the remodel), I thought to myself: “Wow, I’m not sure THIS can be tuned into something livable!” Rumor has it, the cottage was a place where dying cats would come for their last resting […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last weekend I got the itch to go thrill hunting, aka Goodwill shopping. You know the feeling – you really don’t need anything, but you just HAVE to buy something? What do they call it? Oh yes, addiction. I get that all the time and I found that the safest way to go is Goodwill. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have finally resolved my front door dilemma. The project took quite a bit of time, but in the end, it was all worth it. Besides, the rainy yucky weather we had yesterday wasn’t suitable for anything else. So, without further ado, here it is. I wish I could take credit for this idea, but […]
