This was going to be my original post on linking up to the CSI Project. But my dresser from yesterday got priority, so I thought today I would show you some things I have done in the past with Mod Podge. I love that stuff! I won’t show you ALL the things I have done, [...]
I have been working on the dresser from hell for the last two weeks. {sorry for the cussing, but I am serious when I say that, it has been quite the DIY project that I don’t care to repeat} I bought this chest of drawers at the thrift shop for $35. I liked the bones [...]
I have been meaning to post pictures of our master suite, but put it off because of this….In some of the pictures I took the lamp shade was crooked! So I put this post on the back burner. I never got around to taking more pictures, and that was four months ago. Today, I decided [...]
I finally finished my sign! Whew, glad that is done. I like the way it turned out, but it was such a challenge for me to figure out how to do the lettering. It took a couple of different tries before I found a system that worked. I first used my new Circut Expression machine [...]
Got another catalog today from Ballard Designs. And once again I fell in love with this Document fabric that they keep showing on various items in their catalog. I couldn’t stand it any longer, it catches my every time, I am so drawn to it. I caved in… I went on their site and ordered [...]
We have family coming to stay with us and I thought I would spruce up the bathrooms a little bit with some fun spa like ammentities for them. I painted this $1 train case on a whim with my paint sprayer awhile back. I needed to use up some paint in the sprayer and just [...]
I thought I would try my hand at what I just recently discovered to be called “altered art”. I saw this cool idea over at Decor Chick’s blog here and I couldn’t wait to try it! I had just purchased 15 books for $15 and hadn’t decided what I wanted to to with them [...]
Honestly, this is a happy post! I just wanted to give you a little background on how this all came about, so that hopefully you can feel my excitement of my finished project. When we first built our home, we had solid carved wood doors with an iron transom above the door. Attached to the [...]
This year I hadn’t really done much for the 4th of July as far as decorating. So saturday I decided I needed to get into the spirit since we were having people over for a 4th of July bbq. I went to the farmers market and got red carnations and roses and some white [...]
When we first built our home, we thought we should have a wine cellar. Not because my husband and I are wine connoisseurs, we actually don’t hardly drink the stuff. We just thought it would be a nice thing to have in the style of house we were building. But as things progressed, and the [...]
