Re-frame It
This past weekend I decided the frames on the shelf in my living room needed a make-over. Not only did none of them match, but they really weren’t showing off the pictures of my kids and niece like I wanted them too. Instead of going out and buying new frames I looked through my houseContinue reading “Re-frame It”

Bedroom Makeover
Last Thursday at about 10 a.m. I walked through our master bedroom and decided I was tired of it looking like an afterthought. I didn’t want to spend much money and wanted a new look.

Table Transformation
Check out this old, beat-up table I got for FREE! Gave it a little TLC and see how it was TransFormed! Needed to give the base some chunky legs…so I took some scraps from a 2×4, cut them, screwed them together, and made them fit at the bottom. Used a couple cans of black spraypaint, sanded down random areas/corners ofContinue reading “Table Transformation”
Paint Your Countertops/Kitchen Makeover
When we MoVed back to Kansas a few years ago, the counters in my new kitchen were not very pretty. They were off-white with light pink and light blue stripes! EeKk! I didn’t want to buy new countertops, and after doing some research I disCovEred that you can paint them (this was before Rustoleum started makingContinue reading “Paint Your Countertops/Kitchen Makeover”
Wedding Guest Book Idea
Earlier this year I had an engaged couple wanting to use blocks as a NeW and FuN way to have people sign their wedding guest book! It was going to be a small wedding, so they decided to use blocks for the guests to sign. The best thing about this IdEA was that they areContinue reading “Wedding Guest Book Idea”
Flooded Basement Makeover
A year ago our basement flooded due to me forgetting to turn the electricity back on after trying to install a new light fixture and running to town to get a new part :( Of course it just happened to be raining that day, and I came home to over 6″ of water! I wanted to come upContinue reading “Flooded Basement Makeover”
