Then Of course when I looked at the house, there was furniture in it. That big dark spot by the arches was a sofa. Now New flooring. No popcorn ceilings. Ceiling fan added. New paint on every inch of space. New door. New screen door. New light by front door. Big mirror gone. Replaced electricContinueContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Dining Nook”

What to do With Leftover Wood
Remember the project I shared here? That I was so giddy about a piece of wood I had outside on the carport. I think it needs something on the “paw” area. But here she is. Just shy of the bottom of the window. Tall girl. First I gave the piece of wood a good sanding.ContinueContinue reading “What to do With Leftover Wood”
Renovating 407: the Screened in Porch
My Geni can finally get outside by herself. My parents had to get a bigger doggie door for when my brother’s Great Dane comes over. So I got the old door. They framed it in with 2x4s. I just have to caulk the gaps and finish caulking the porch. Oh, and frame the top backContinueContinue reading “Renovating 407: the Screened in Porch”
Renovating 407: Master Bedroom
Before: The carpet wasn’t as clean as it looked when I put an offer on the house. Or the walls for that matter. As I said before, the 70s had to go. I knew I wasn’t going to live with this golden harvest carpet forever, but it came up a lot sooner than wasContinueContinue reading “Renovating 407: Master Bedroom”
Renovating 407: Part I

You never know what you are going to find under the ugly layers. I have been at this for over a year and will probably beContinueContinue reading “Renovating 407: Part I”
A Different Direction
It’s no secret that I design my blog myself. I love digital scrapbooking, so it is a welcome challenge. I also can’t afford to pay someone to do it for me. I have always said that I will if I ever decide to blog for a living. I have also changed direction a few times,ContinueContinue reading “A Different Direction”
Rustic Love Sign
I wish I could say this was a simple and easy project. It was, except that the lettering was really a lot of work. LOL. There was a board out in my car port, left over from the previous owners. I had my dad cut it into 3 pieces, not necessarily equal, and IContinueContinue reading “Rustic Love Sign”
My Valentine’s Decorating
I love to decorate for the holidays. I even had out winter decor this year. I hate that I don’t have a mantel and seriously keep thinking where I can incorporate one. I am thinking that when this wall gets to a finished point, I can add a table that will be attached to theContinueContinue reading “My Valentine’s Decorating”
Industrial Bed Inspiration
I really love the Brooklyn bed from the new Target Industrial line. Swoon. Because I am putting so much money into my house, I can’t afford $500 on a bed. Plus I might not really like all that metal after a while. I have been scouring Pinterest for a way to recreate this look withContinueContinue reading “Industrial Bed Inspiration”
Focus in 2016
This is a post I meant to write right after I did Memories, Dreams and Reflections but I forgot about it. This is a good post for me to write, to focus myself on what I need to focus on this year. Of course, making a house a home is always an evolving process butContinueContinue reading “Focus in 2016”
