Finally getting somewhere. Still too many started projects that I am too exhausted to finish. Need new windows, stucco updated and a new furnace. (Must win lottery or have them donated.) Single mom seeking benefactor. Haha. Can finally shower in the master bathroom. And finally have a door on the bathroom. My mom is gettingContinue reading “Renovating Update”

My New Bed
Or at least new to me. My brother gave me this old bed over a year ago that they had decided they didn’t have the patience to refinish. But someone had started to use a stripping agent on the headboard. It had some build up on it from where they tried to strip it previouslyContinue reading “My New Bed”
Advice for the Pantry Color
This is my we built it pantry. I got a paint that matched the cabinets my brother used to build my island. I got the wrong sheen so this is all I have painted. I don’t like the color. I love the white on the wall but it makes the white on the pantry lookContinue reading “Advice for the Pantry Color”
The Two Year Progress: Or Lack Thereof

Of course, I made it look even longer when I shiplapped it (before I had any idea what Fixer Upper wasContinue reading “Upcycled Gallery Wall Art”
Some Green Chucks
I could have sworn that the nickname for Converse was Chucks. Am I wrong? Every time I use that term everyone asks me what I am talking about. When I saw this image pinned on Pinterest I knew I wanted to try and replicate it. I had a 20×20 canvas sitting around, so there wasContinue reading “Some Green Chucks”
Updated Bathroom
I cannot get a good picture of my redone bathroom. My Nikon won’t get a smaller picture and my iPhone pics are coming out grainy. Ick. Here is my bathroom before (but a little into the work).The arrow above…see that corner now. With my parents’ help we got the beadboard and molding up with liquidContinue reading “Updated Bathroom”
