We will be hosting a foreign exchange student from France starting in August. My husband was kind enough to give up his office, also known as the downstairs bedroom, for her. We have had guests stay in here before, but there was no dresser for long term stays. I was able to purchase a dresser from my friend Barbara for $40. Gray and yellow seem to be really popular color pairs right now and I really wanted to try it with something in my home, and the dresser was the perfect thing. Barbara ... Continue reading ...

 I have found myself doing a lot of little projects around the house lately. Seems like I always have to have something to do :) I had purchased two rolls of Contact paper at my local Dollar Tree store, yes $1 a roll, and had only used one of them. I got to thinking about what I could use the other one for and then I realized I could "beautify" my medicine cabinets! One roll covered the inside of two cabinets. It was also a great excuse to clean them out! I always see in movies how peopl... Continue reading ...

I hope that I am not the only one with a messy kitchen drawer. You know the one that has all the gadgets that you use twice a year but cannot get rid of? Well, I had a drawer like that. One where things slid around every time I opened it and one where I could never easily find what I needed. Well, thanks to my husband that is no more. There is no before picture. I had to spare all of you :) But, here is what he did and an after shot.  Home Depot has small board that they call Hobby Board... Continue reading ...

 I have not been blessed with a large walk-in closet, but I am able to walk in it so I will not complain. I am not a clothes hoarder, but I do love the thrill of getting something new. About 1/3 of my closet is from the thrift store. (We covered the history of thrift stores for me in a prior post :).What I am is an organizer. Love things to be neat and streamlined. I know there are others of you out there :) Here are a few of the things I have done in my closet that I have found useful.*... Continue reading ...

 I have not been doing many projects around here lately, it has been a really busy time. Bu,t I just had to try this one. Brooke from SpruceYourNest had this on her Pinterest board and I just fell in love. I have a wall that was in need of something, but I did not know what. I had gone shopping many times looking for just the right thing with no luck. Now I have 2 works of art that cost me next to nothing! Mind you, I have no artistic ability what so ever! My husband loves to paint and ... Continue reading ...

Brooke, from Spruce Your Nest, is back again today to talk all about Chalk Paint. I admit, I had to look up what it is. What I found is that it is not chalkboard paint. It is a paint that is very popular in England. It is well known because you do not have to sand, prime or do anything else before you paint, and one coat goes a long way. But, it is (in my opinion) pretty expensive. So, Brooke is going to show us how to make it ourselves. Click Here to read all about how she did it. He... Continue reading ...

Last night I had a lovely (ha) conversation with my 15 year old daughter about how our house does not look "Christmasy" this year. We bought an artificial tree for the first time (not her favorite) and I decided to change the color scheme of my decorations and so only bought a few of the new color (teal). She is not happy with the final results (I did offer to have her finish the decorating - you know nothing happened) The joys of teenagers :) Anyway...Today Brooke from Spruce Your Nest s...

 Last year I started my master bathroom make over. I was able to repaint our cabinets, put down tile and the next step was to do something with the large builder mirror we had hanging in there. I went on line and looked at several different websites that offered molding that you could cut yourself or have ordered to place on your mirrors, but most of them were really expensive. So, I decided to do it myself (well with the help of my dad and my husband) I purchased 2 different sizes of MDF ... Continue reading ...
