Well if you recall, a few weeks ago the hall closet looked like this: We decided to make it into a “cloffice” and now it’s turned into a giant playroom, cloffice, flooring project, which happens with every project, it grows bigger and bigger! A few weeks ago I came across Emily’s post over at Jones […]
Kitchen storage tips
When planning out our kitchen three years ago, Mr.A was certain that we wouldn’t have enough cupboard space with the amount of cabinets we were ordering. I reassured him that with our big pantry we would have plenty of space for storing things. I am glad to report that we do!Here are some tips and […]
Playroom Closet Makeover
Wednesday night the hubs and I ran to Menards to buy some shelving for the playroom closets. It came to $106 with the brackets, 6 shelves and some scotch tape. (My kids are constantly stealing my tape and using it all up, drives me insane when it’s time to wrap a gift and there’s no […]
Our Kitchen Remodel Part 2
. This summer while working on the exterior, our neighbor suggested we take out the octagonal window and put in a window that would allow us to see out into our driveway without having to run and look out our dining room window. After going back and forth on the idea most of the summer, […]
Pantry Makeover!

Coffee filter wreath and vinyl lettering
In addition to painting the doors, I also added some vinyl lettering to the mudroom entry area. I originally bought the vinyl for my glass door piece but it wasn’t quite big enough. I think it helps blend the door and the kitchen table with the rest of the house. Here it is…. Last week […]
Catching Up!
The weeks have been flying by around here lately and I’ve been working on a lot of little projects around the house. Winter will soon be here so my spray painting days have come to an end for now but I’ll be back at it in the spring! This past Monday through Wednesday we were […]
My new old kitchen chairs
I have disliked our kitchen table and chairs for a few years now. They are the ugly honey oak color that I think almost every table and chair that was made in the early to mid 2000’s was stained. Ok, well not every table and chair but every table and chair that we could afford […]
New Project – Chalkboard for the playroom
I am so excited to share with you my very inexpensive project that I’ve been working on today. We are working on making the playroom for the kids and one of the things I’ve been wanting to add is a chalkboard. I mentioned this to a friend the other day and she said, “Wait here, […]
