New Project… My husband is a trash picker! He literally took this old side table off the side of the road, which was meant for the garbage trucks, and brought it home for me. The top needed work but overall it was in pretty good shape, so I was happy he did that! You know what they say…”One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” My mind started thinking of ideas…
Read how we made these Large Boards for the Kids Rooms… See these boards in the pictures below? They were small box springs from the kids old platform beds.

Read the tutorial on how I made this DIY Sea Glass Window…
DIY Artwork – Canvas Prints on the Cheap… I was trying to find a piece of art for above my bed in my re-vamped Master Bedroom and was looking for a long and skinny piece, approximately 12×36. Of course being the bargain shopper that I am, I didn’t want to spend to much money. Large canvas art can be very expensive. I read on some other blogs that you can make…

Do you have any Holiday Decoration Traditions? Do you have any special traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation, or maybe some new ones you’ve started with your own family?
