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. We had them in the boys rooms waiting to be taken down to the garage and disposed of. While giving house tours to 2 different friends, they both asked me what they were and both said you should put them up against…
Desks for Any Room… I have wanted new desks for our two boys’ rooms for a LONG time. I’d been looking for a new project, so a custom DIY Desk Using a Hollow Core Door and Some Cube Storage was it! They’ve been using these (see below) old beat up desks that I chalk painted when we first moved into the House house. It was my first experience with chalk…
I love the coastal decor look and have tried to decorate the House house this way. Anything to do with the beach or the coast makes me happy and I want to be happy when I’m in my home. Our budget didn’t allow for us to buy a lot of new furniture when we moved in, so I’ve revamped/painted/stained a lot of our old, but perfectly good furniture (you can…
Upcycling – Creating a Bar Area Using Old Furniture… I love upcycling old pieces of furniture to match the decor of our new house. Today I’m going to tell you about how I used an old table and wine racks to make a ‘bar area’ in a nook in our kitchen. But, before I tell you how I upcycled this old furniture, let me give you some background information on why we…
I’ve always loved these beautiful sea glass windows. I’ve seen them in the shops on Cape Cod and online on etsy.com and have always wanted one. A few years ago I made this Sea Glass Dolphin and Sea Glass Sea Horse and I thought, ‘hey maybe I could try to make one of those windows’! Well, I finally did. Read the tutorial on how I made this DIY Sea Glass Window…
The following post has been written by my amazing, beautiful, and stylish momma, Bonnie! That is her and I above, along with one of my boys. She has always had champagne taste but more of a beer budget and knows how to score a good bargain. I am fortunate to have her close to me right here in Naples where she has found numerous deals at some of the best…
My boy’s school year ends NEXT WEEK. They get out May 31st, which seems so dang early. Anyway, do you struggle every year with what to get for end-of-year teacher gifts? I usually just end up with a gift card for each, because I mean who doesn’t love a gift card? But, I found a bunch of cute and very affordable end-of-year teacher gifts on etsy.com. These teachers deserve something…
