Where to begin? When I go for long stretches without posting, it's always difficult to know where to pick up. Do I try to play catch-up and explain what I've been up to, and if so should I ...
How did I not know this? I was nominated for an Apartment Therapy Homie Award and I didn't even know it. I was doing a little more blog tweaking this morning and noticed a referral to my blog fr...
It's something I've wanted to do for a while, just haven't had the time to sit at the computer for several hours straight, and that's what it took. Hours. I'm sure the littl...
Oh my goodness, I hate when that happens.Wow, that really stinks. If you are reading this in a reader, please click over to see what I've been up to. My blog got a little makeover. It took me t...
A little reminder, tomorrow, Google Friends Connect will no longer work with non blogger blogs like mine. If you subscribed through GFC and would like to continue getting my updates, please choose on...
I knew I'd seen someone use pegboard to make a thread rack. Maybe, no probably on pinterest. I had some pegboard and I wanted a thread rack, so I googled Pegboard Thread Rack, found this tutoria...
this one will not fall under either of those categories. It's a sewing room project, the cutting table. Not a tutorial, just me sharing what I did to dress up some cheap cabinets. It happened ...
I've lost count to be honest. You have to live with a room a while to learn what works and what doesn't. Especially so for a working room. While Casey was away becoming one of the few and t...
I tried to share a few of the changes I've made in the masterbedroom, but Willie stole the show. That's the honest truth. I went in there to snap a few pictures, and suddenly I was taking p...
I've been so busy with all the apartment happenings I've not even thought about making any changes elsewhere in the house. Ha! I had a hard time even typing that sentence. My severe cas...
When we built this house 16 years ago, we had to cut many of the extras that were included in the plans. One of those was a finished bonus room over the garage. Over time Mitch put sheet rock up and ...
That's what I feel like sometimes. I just can not keep up. I guess it doesn't help that every little bit I know about blogging has been self taught. I'm not a very good teacher. I'...

with three days left in the month, I have come to the realization, I will not be meeting the challenge. Dang it. I really, really wanted to build a sofa table. I still plan to get it done, but not b...
My new friend Linda who blogs at It All Started With Paint, has put forth a very intriguing challenge. Tackle that project you have feared, dreaded, or just plain believed impossible. The time has co...
It's messy, it's tedious, it's not the least bit fun, and for the most part, no one ever even notices it, if it's done right that is. People get all excited about paint. Throw som...
I usually like to share thrifty decorating solutions. This was one occasion when we decided we'd rather spend a little money and save a lot of time and effort. The product I used for my wood pla...
We are nearing the finish line with Alyssa's attic apartment. Mostly finish work, painting, installing shelves, bringing in furniture. Yes the end is in sight. So what does that have to do with ...
Maybe for some, but not me. Once I start, I can't seem to stop. At least it's a cheap addiction. And they're pretty. This was yesterday, as the sun was going down. And my view this mor...
I haven't updated on Alyssa's apartment in a while. It has been much slower going than I anticipated, but I hope we've reached a point where the end is in sight. If you squint, and cro...
The tree is up and has lights. Working lights. Not the case when I first put it up. My prelit tree had roughly 43 working lights. I bought lights and had fun times stringing them. Look at that sweet...
Call me a wimp, but I stayed home in bed Thursday night and Friday morning. No late night/ early morning bargain shopping for me. How about you? Any great deals to be fought over had? I did venture ...
I'm want to try to be a better blogger. I used to have no problems blogging. Even when I didn't have anything special to blog about, I blabbered on about something. It kept the blogging mus...
I hope you're ready to do some cleaning! I chose the winner of the SC Johnson Cleaning Kit using Random Number Generator and the comment number selected was 18, which completely coincidentally h...
It happens every spring and every fall, the urge to give the house a good top to bottom scrubbing. In the spring I want to throw open the windows and let the fresh air in. In the fall I want to fluff...
I've never made any secret of the fact that I'm cheap thrifty. I could never pay ten to twenty dollars for a pair of socks. One pair, not a pack. Not gonna do it. But they are cute. And tr...
That's the only explanation I have for what happened today. It certainly wasn't planned. I had no idea when I woke up this morning that later in the day I'd be doing this. My plan was ...
Bayleigh is going to be in a pageant. Not the toddlers and tiaras kind of thing. This one it put on by our local county parks and rec. It's all about having fun and giving girls a chance to dres...
But lets don't call this an after, rather, an in between. That works. There was a time I was happy with my bedroom. Not in the recent past, but once... We changed beds, that's a long story ...
I promised to share the work on the attic apartment, and I haven't been holding out, there just hasn't been much to share. We were super excited when the stairs went in. A small powder room...
