Yes, I posted last week about the teacher gifts for my preschoolers teachers. And I was planning on doing the same gift for my kindergarteners teacher as well, until the other day. An idea popped in ...
As you may know, I have been giving my dining room quite the makeover these days. Id say pretty much EVERY last thing has either been painted or replaced in some form or another. There has been one t...
Im sorry I was holding out on you with a Teacher Gift Idea, but you see, my preschoolers teachers read my blog (Hi, C and R!;), so I had to wait. Her last day was today, so here you go...hopefully it...

One of the benefits of being a little cuckoo for constantly changing things up around here is that Im always getting to repurpose old items. A little spray paint here, some sisal rope there...I love ...
I am constantly (and this is no exaggeration, people) looking around my house for things that could be moved around and used somewhere else. Accessories, lamps, rugs, furniture - most of the items in...
Ever since my DIY Sisal Cookie Sheet-turned-Tray, Ive been obsessed with this sisal stuff. I have it on hand, ready to spring to action should I find something ugly that Id like to breathe new life i...

I was outside playing with my kids the other day, when a couple of girls walked past us, on their way home from school. They looked about 14 or 15, and the bookbags slung over their backs seemed bigg...
WHEW! I am going to do a happy dance like never before when Im finished this dining room! It has truly - and I mean, truly - been a labor of love (emphasis on the word LABOR!). Its all starting to co...

Ive been hearing SO much about chalk paint these days. I have been intrigued from the very first time I heard about it - this "girls paint" is apparently a god-send: no sanding, no priming, j...
Ok, so Im LOVING my open shelves. So much that yet ANOTHER closed cabinet has now been exposed.Yup. Cant help myself. But in my defense, the other (upper) cabinets on this wall were open, and this li...

It was April 6, 2002. Exactly a decade ago today, a couple of friends (a guy and a girl) grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant. They laughed a lot and had a fun time, as they always did when th...
Man was I lazy this Easter season. Decorating wise, that is. Aside from some forsythia and eggs hanging from the chandelier, and a few jars and wreaths of eggs here and there, I was L-A-M-E with the ...

What a difference a week makes! Last weekend, Paul and I attempted to get the molding above the kitchen cabinets done (we have our original very box-y cabs from the 60s). We had the molding, and the ...
Well, here we are middle of March, and have I attempted to attack my New Years Resolution to learn to sew? If you read the title of this post, you probably already know the answer. That would be a bi...
