We’ve had this dining room set for a LONG time.  We bought it when chocolate brown furniture was all the rage.  I still love it’s clean lines and all the storage it offers, and the fact that I get to display all my ‘pretties’.  After re-doing this Thrift Store Find a few weeks ago, it really made my old dark brown hutch stick out like a sore thumb in my…

Even though we don’t get Fall in Southwest Florida where I live, it doesn’t mean I can’t decorate a little and pretend it is Fall.  It’s always warm here and will remain approximately 92 degrees until probably October.  Then the temps will go down into the 80’s for our Winter.  But, I’m not complaining.  I’d take this over a cold winter any day.  Anyway, I have been seeing all this…

If you love to work with your hands, and chances are you do, then finding new wondrous things to try your hand at is always a great thrill. And in a way, the internet, with all its magical corners, is a blessing and a curse at the same time. You have an almost unlimited supply of exploration, forums and resources at your disposal to get lost into, you also have…

I’ve been seeing these cute Succulent Monogram Gardens online and knew I had to try making one.  And guess what?  It was super easy.  Bonus, I was able to purchase everything at the Dollar Store (except the letter which is from Hobby Lobby). There are lots of tutorials already on Pinterest on how to make these.  Here is my version and the steps I took to make my DIY Faux Succulent Monogram…

Are you looking for a fun summer project to do with your kids?  My kids and I had some fun with these Triton Paint Pens this week.  These pens are great for Rock Painting, Ceramic, Wood, Metal and Glass.  We used them on these little wooden tool boxes that we had in our garage. *The following is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own. About Triton Paint Pens… Triton’s…

Are you getting tired of all my nautical map projects yet?  I hope not cause guess what?  Yup, I got another one for ya.  So far I have made these coastal coasters, this End Table, and this Console Table using nautical maps.   I still have maps leftover from my end table project, and I had this old tray that had seen better days, so I decided to make a DIY Nautical…

With a last name like House it is easy to use it in a play on words.  Just like this blog….the House house (since our last name is House and it is all about our house? Get it? 😉 ) I had this piece of wood from a previous project in our garage and decided to use it to make a DIY Personalized Pool Sign for our pool area. I…

Remember a few months ago when I redid this old end table?  If not, check it out.  I applied some nautical map wrapping paper to the top of the table for a coastal look, and had lots of the paper left over.  I’ve been wanting to use it for something….but, hmmmm….what to do with it?  I was on Instagram one day recently and saw a post from someone I follow…
