Hey hey all! So a few weeks ago during our conversation a conversation with a friend I mentioned that I’ve only painted most of the rooms in our house once. She kind of laughed and didn’t believe me, but it’s true – half the house was the original color for eight years, and the master and bathroom, my stepdaughter’s room, the kitchen and...

The title of this post is how I'm feeling at this point. Not surprisingly, the wiring infrastructure of Old Town is not the organized and simplified structure you'd probably find in most planned communities. Over the years the electric, phone, cable, and fiber optic services for Old Town have grown somewhat organically as the...

I am a little backlogged with all the wedding projects happening these days, so I’ll be posting a few projects (both wedding and house related) we’ve tackled the last few weeks to catch up.
Starting with our backyard. Over the last month we’ve spruced up the backyard in preparation for BBQs and pool time...

Yesterday, I shared one of my projects from the Habitat Restore Restyle challenge, a repurposed mirror. Today, I thought I’d share what I did with the other mirror.
I believe you can look at thrifted items two ways; how can I make this look new or how can I use this for something else (repurpose). With the...

We have started the house hunting process and have been having a really hard time finding a GOOD real estate agent. We’ve already gone through three within the last week. Why you ask? Because they continue to send us house listings that are everything that we DON’T want, don’t call us when they...
Smell Ya Later, Upstairs Carpet

Dude, removing wall to wall carpeting (and all the layers under it) is no joke. We learned that when we finally tackled that task this weekend – and lived to tell the tale. Let me just tell you, progress smells a lot better than old carpeting. Even when there’s a substantial amount of sweat involved…

Today I am over at the DIY Graphics Fairy sharing a great project.
Karen always has fantastic ideas for incorporating vintage graphics.
Her selection of printables is staggering!
I am like a kid in a candy store over there…
The project we are sharing today involves this buffet.
The piece had good form but had...

I don't believe in the adage that "everything happens for a reason" but I do really believe that entropy tends toward the good and there will always be something good that comes out of bad. I really wanted to level the back lawn this fall after hearing Maurice talk about it at the Yard Garden &Patio show. I was totally ready to...

Yes folks, the auction has come and gone and unfortunately the house did not sell. There were only two groups at the auction and neither of them made a bid. Post auction we received an offer from one group who we counter offered. But they decided they had changed their mind altogether and were now looking to buy an investment...

Much like most of you DIY-ers, I like being able to save money where I can. I also like a clean house. Contrary to what my mother may tell you.
Anyway, I was perusing Pinterest the other day and I came across this bad boy:
Now see, not only do I like saving money, and having a clean house…but I also like my Swiffer wet jet A LOT....

Craigslist Dresser and Calling the Foyer Finished

Authors: Gretchen
Foyers are kind of weird. Our old house didn't have one; you just walked right on into the living room. I've talked before about how one of my qualms with colonials is that they tend not to use space as efficiently as they might, what with their hallways and such (we have a super wide hallway upstairs, which I intend to eventually...
