The kids are back to school, the pool is being drained, leaves are starting to turn, the temperature is a cool 95 degrees, ok ignore that last part but everything else points to falls arrival. My friend Erin at How to Nest for Less posted a pic of her beautiful fall mantel and I was […]
Laundry Room Makeover – Complete!
The last few weeks of summer have been flying by with friends visiting from near and far, a little trip back to our old stomping grounds, school supplies shopping and preparing for a new school year. One of the areas in my home that needed some TLC, organization and a new paint color (flesh colored […]
The Kitchen Cabinets are Painted!
After my Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Failure, I needed to finish up the kitchen cabinets before we left on vacation. Last night when we should have been going over the packing list and stuffing more goldfish into snack bags, we were instead putting cabinet drawer fronts and doors back on the frames in the kitchen. For […]
Home goals mid-year check in & summer goals
Back in January I blogged about our 2012 House Goals. I’m not sure if I had too much to drink on New Years or if perhaps I was just feeling a bit ambitious but looking through the goals and seeing what I’ve accomplished so far this year, I’m not encouraged. Master Bedroom and Bathroom […]
Painting the Kitchen Chairs
With only 12 days to go before we hit the road and tour some of the US of A, painting the bottom half of the kitchen cabinets seemed like a great idea to me. Too bad my husband didn’t agree with me and most of my friends. So I listened to reason for once and […]

The Kitchen Project Begins
This past weekend I started the process of transforming the cabinets with the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Kit. Saturday I removed all the upper cabinet doors, removed the hinges and door knobs, filled the holes where the knobs currently were on the door, scraped off the rubber thing that keeps the door from hitting the frame […]
Before and After: The Hallway and Stairway
Here’s a little refresher on life in our home. We purchased this house in late June of 2011. There was pretty much oak and beige covering all the walls and trim/cabinets. Quite possibly we were a test site for a Sherwin Williams beige collection, I’m not sure but the cans in the basement give me […]
Details on Little A’s Vintage Room
I shared Little A’s Vintage Room last week on the blog. Your comments were so sweet and encouraging to me, thank you! So I thought today I’d share a few of the details and cost breakdown for the room. Most of my bedroom makeovers that I’ve done, I have tried to do for $200 […]
