What to do with leftover pallets… A while back I wrote a post about all the cool projects friends made with the leftover pallets from our renovation. We saved some for ourselves too, and went back and forth with different ideas on what to do with them. Here is what we finally used them for. We have a very large backyard and we love it. Last summer we put pavers down…
Our Living Room…Before and After… The Before… I decided to show you the entire living room hoping that you’d get a better idea of what our main living area looks like, and just how much it has changed since we bought this house. This is where we spend most of our time. You may remember my kitchen reveal, my dining table, bar area, and my aquarium post where you got a…
The Before… A while back I showed you our guest bedroom, and today I am going to show you the guest bathroom. When we purchased this house, the bathroom (well, the whole house really) was very outdated, had laminate floors, bad lighting, fake wood cabinets, and old school fluorescent enclosed lights, ya know, the whole nine yards.

You don’t usually see them in pictures of living rooms in the home design magazines or on the design tv shows, unless they are the super fancy ones like on the show Tanked. But, my husband…
What to do with all your saved wine corks… Are you a wine drinker like me? Do you save all your corks like me too? Then they sit there in a vase or jar or something forever and you think, what the heck am I gonna do with all these, but you can’t seem to throw them all away? Sound familiar? Well, I finally decided to do something with all…
balls… hehehe, it’s just one of those words that makes you laugh. Like the Schweddy balls skit on Saturday Night Live. If you have never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s hilarious! So when I made these giant DIY Christmas balls for the huge tree in our front yard (and had a total Pinterest fail) there were a lot of jokes and laughs had by all. …
