I’ve been wanting to do this project for a long time. I had this mirror painted green….you heard me, green! It didn’t go at all but I really liked the color. Weird. I know. I procrastinated a long time thinking it would take forever to strip the paint, sand, and stain. I was wrong! This…
My Man bought me this mixer almost 10 years ago. I was really into RED back then so he picked out a red Kitchen Aid Mixer. I couldn’t have been more happier. Fast forward 10 years and I’m kinda over the red. So….I couldn’t justify buying a new one JUST to change the color but…
I’m a butcher block lover, loved them for a long, long, time. In fact, my MOM has a small butcher block on rollers that will be mine…someday!! Anyway, I bought this as a table off the local classifieds for $50. We took the bottom part off and like a dummy tossed them out. Live and…
I can’t believe it! We have a microwave in the wall/pantry! I love it! It’s the same one I saw on unclutterer. When we had the microwave above the stove, it was always so crowded…hello, 9 people! Now I don’t worry if something will drop into the cooking pots below. I’m not totally done with…
This was a really fun project because I didn’t have to do anything! It was all My Man! He did a great job, don’t ya think?! He’s a keeper! Just a couple/few notes: 1. The bead board is in the process of being painted (in this photo). posting soon! 2. The light is UGLY, I…
I’m excited to share my Church Pew! I had this for many years in my Entryway…..painted it several times…red, yellowish, white, and maybe another color at some time. I love this pew! Earlier this year I sent it to the backyard so I could bring in a smaller, classier, bench so the pew spent a few…

I’m very excited about this project because it was free! I used left over material from my Drop Cloth Curtain (the original drop cloth was 4’Wx15’L). fyi: the drop cloth curtain has been replaced with a new curtain…pics soon. Originally, I wanted to make a slipcover (i love slipcovers!) to lay over the bench so I…
I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs when I came across Ice Cream made from Snow (Saving 4 Six)….seriously?! Yeah, for reals! For years, I’ve been telling my kids NOT to eat snow because it might be dirty and now I’m using snow to make something edible? I’m so cool! Recipe: 10 cups…
You’ve probably seen book page wreaths around the web and if you’re like me….you/I love them! I love the way they look and I loved making this! I used the tutorial on Makely School for Girls for my book page wreath. Lindsay did a great job on her tutorial, every step is covered (not like mine. i…
Last week I missed  3 days. My plan was to post 4 of my projects and a painting for Paint Party Friday. Well, I got sick and then….I had an eye appt on Friday that made me sad. Long story, short….I have a growth on my eye that needs to be removed. Surgery scheduled…
