"Dressing up the Built-Ins: Part #2" Last Mondays post was: "Dressing up the Built-ins: Part #1". I showed you how I added paintable beadboard wallpaper to the back of our built-ins. After the first project, I decided I wasn't quite finished. Our fireplace surround is just basic 12x12 tile in a neutral tan color; nothing special. The next part of the project would be to paint the tiles white. I did some online research and discovered I could paint the tile without creating a … [Read more...]

"I found a Winter Wonderland (for cheap)" Finding a great deal gives me goosebumps! My two favorite days to shop for fabulous finds are the day after Thanksgiving (yes I'm that girl, the one out at 3am shopping) and Christmas. This year I got up at the crack of dawn to beat all the other crazies to the Target 50% off section and discovered a new reason to shop. Don't get me wrong, I bought loads of a few items for next years' Christmas season, but the gorgeous white, silver, and … [Read more...]
"DIY Chalkboard Cupboard" "Mom, what's for dinner"? It's the same question every day at 3:15pm. Nevermind that I never hear, "How was your day, Mom? Do you need me to do anything for you?" It's the same question and it always involves food (not that I take it personally or anything). I decided I didn't want to answer this every day; I don't know why, but it just started to bug me (lame, I know)! I came up with a solution: the Chalkboard Cupboard. Step #1: Remove fingerprints and smudges … [Read more...]
"I am Woman Hear Me Roar?" I think “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar” was some sort of song or slogan back in the 70's. I'm not really sure, I should ask my mom. I don't know what got me thinking about this phrase, but I knew it just didn't sit right with me. I asked myself the question, what makes a woman strong? Is it that she can yell the loudest? Intimidate to get her way? Force those around her to walk on egg shells so they don’t upset her? Don't get me wrong, I think a strong woman is a … [Read more...]
"Dressing Up the Built-Ins" - Part #1 Last Monday I dressed up the kitchen hutch with some cute fabric. I also wanted to add something to my plain white built-ins. We've had them about 7 years and I had really never thought much about doing anything special to them. Then, one day sitting in my comfy blue chair, at hit me! I could add something to the back of the built-ins to add a little depth and character. The answer this time was not fabric, it was wallpaper! This is how the sides of the … [Read more...]
"DIY Hanging Screens" I had an empty corner in my bedroom, one of those annoying spots behind my love-seat that sat well, empty. I've looked at the standing screens at TJMAXX and they were always out of my budget, ugh. I combed thrift stores and garage sales looking for some I could fix up and NADA. Then one day, I spotted my answer on a Craigslist ad; french door inserts for $10. I had an idea: hanging screens! This is how they started (well sort of, I forgot to take a picture before I … [Read more...]
DIY Fabulously Cheap Accessories It's Friday which means I get to share my new "finds"! One of my first BIG projects for the year will be to take over my boys weight-room, decorate an office for myself. One of my favorite ways to shop my local thrift store is to look for something specific. On my list (among other things) are items for my new office. I already some things on hand, but need smaller items to fill the walls and bring it all together. I had a successful day this week and … [Read more...]
I was recently shopping at one of my favorite thrift stores on a VIP 50% sale - YAHOO! I actually bought so many pieces they hardly fit in our van. It's probably a good thing I didn't have a trailer or I would have filled that up too! Being the smart gal that I am, I brought my hubby for self-control purposes. One of my all time favorite finds from that sale was this old vintage radio that I got for $10.00. I bought it mainly because I liked the size and shape and because it was narrow … [Read more...]
I Have a Confession to Make... I have a confession to make. I am NOT perfect. *GASP* Ok, I got it out, now you all know and I can stop pretending. Last Wednesday I talked about "The Comparison Game". It's the game we play with other women. In it, we are continually comparing ourselves to others, mostly in our thought life. I'm trying my best to stop comparing myself to the Victoria Secret Angels, I mean, my friends. I've discovered that while I try my best to stop, I still struggle with … [Read more...]
