Happy Friday!!! If you’ve been following for awhile-you might remember when I did a makeover for my office. There were a few DIY projects in that makeover-including one where I re-purposed the top half of an old bi-fold door. Well, at the time, I really didn’t have any use for bottom half, so they…
Initially, I wasn’t going to do a separate post on this project-simply because it was just too darn easy! I figured I’d just slip it into my final foyer reveal post. But every time I walk through the foyer-I can’t help but smile, because I am SO in love with this piece-that I just had…
Hello-sweet friends!!! Before I share my tale about finding a functional purpose for an old shutter I found on the farm-I have to give you an update on our beautiful grandson!!! First off-the bad news…after speaking to Max’s pediatrician, we all determined that it was best if this grandma put aside her ENORMOUS excitement,…
I’ve dreamed of having a massive-brick fireplace, with a chunky wood mantel, ever since I was just a little girl.

DIY Reclaimed Wood Mirror Hubby often likes to tease me about how LONG his ‘honey-do’ list is. I don’t know about that. But I will admit that we have plenty of projects going on right now, and since we are on a limited budget, a little of his DIY ingenuity comes in REAL handy! This…
Dining Room Chairs get a Facelift! I mentioned in a previous post that I had one more project left to do in our dining room, before it’s BIG reveal! The truth is- that project actually consists of TWO parts: Unfortunately, with all the changes I’ve made in the dining room to BRIGHTEN it up-this…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Hubby and I had a wonderful time at his parent’s cabin in the woods for our family barbecue on Saturday. I promise to share some photo’s of mom’s AMAZING gardens, and an adorable project she just completed, later in the week! Speaking of projects…….. I suppose you…
Painting Kitchen Cabinets (Reveal and How to!) I know. I know. For the last thirteen days you all have been sitting on the edge of your seat impatiently waiting for me to FINALLY reveal our kitchen cabinet makeover. The dishes have piled up in your sink and you’ve had to resort to eating off of…
