This is actually a project I completed a couple months ago, but am just now getting around to putting up. We've moved into a bigger house, which means a bigger bathroom, which means I needed to come up with something for my sink. I went to GoodWill and found these items. I used the dishes… Continue reading Bathroom makeover: $15

Decorating for Christmas
Twist six strands of cranberry bursts together for a small wreath. Glue wood letters together to spell holiday words. Put a beaded garland in a vase and add a bow (also works with ornaments) Here are some other ideas I'd like to try... Hurricane Lamps from this link. I like just about everything about this… Continue reading Decorating for Christmas
Bringing Fall Inside
With 4 school days left until Christmas vacation, a post on Fall decorations may not be timed well... but since it's been cooking in the back of my mind for about a month, I figured it was better to post it now than never. (we actually put up Christmas decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving) :)… Continue reading Bringing Fall Inside

Project Organization: Kitchen Overflow

Our kitchen is a good sized kitchen, but it does lack one major component: a pantry. We've managed to relegate most of the food to 4 cabinets, which leaves 5… Continue reading Project Organization: Kitchen Overflow
Friday Scheming
Confession: I like to get on Craigslist and look at the furniture and think about how I could put together a kitchen, dining room, or living room for under $900. I haven't been on in a while, but tonight I got on (looking for a small recliner/chair) when I saw a small oak desk and… Continue reading Friday Scheming
Bathroom: Take #2
Friday, since I was able to enjoy another snow day, I decided to see if I could do something different with my bathroom. The limits I had were 1.) it shouldn't take longer than a day, and 2.) it shouldn't cost very much (I am in the process of getting curtains for the living room...). … Continue reading Bathroom: Take #2
Bulletin Board (for home)
I had been wanting a big bulletin board for a while, but hadn't been able to find one that I thought was both cute AND big enough for serious office work. Over the Christmas break, I came across a $7 bulletin board at Goodwill that seemed to fit the bill. It was big enough: 21… Continue reading Bulletin Board (for home)
Photo Headboard
I forget where I first saw this project, but I really liked the idea. I love hanging up pictures, but I was trying for a way that wouldn't cause lots of nail holes. (This project used four nail holes, which would have happened if I'd just hung them, but it was still worth it...) Also,… Continue reading Photo Headboard
