I’ve been working on my house a tiny bit at a time pretty much since we have moved in. You might recall my little cabinet experiment from a few months back where I tried to figure out what to do w/ my 1979 cabbies. Rather than removing the countertops, sink, and appliances which is a […]
So this is probably going to be a long one. But it’s been a long time coming so I’m VERY excited about it! I finally put my money where my mouth is and bought an investment property. A little back story: I bought my first house, fixed it up and sold it. I didn’t make […]
Ok so here’s what I’m thinking. You may have read my new goals post about a month ago where I was considering a few different options about what to do with myself now. And while I am certainly considering a few of those options, even actively pursuing them (offering on rental property! but nothing under contract yet!) I’ve identified […]
Ok this project happened a while back but I love it so much that I have to share it on here too. So. The ever present problem with kitties is where to put the litter box. Luckily, we have plenty of space in our laundry room in the basement so it’s pretty far away from our […]
As you know, we bought a new house this summer. We’ve been busy, but not really with the making-it-cute kind of projects, mostly with the boring-but-necessary kind of projects like installing smoke detectors, an insinkerator, light fixtures that my 6’5″ husband won’t hit his head on, getting the toxic sludge removed from our water, replacing […]
Lots has happened this year, along with selling our townhouse and buying a real big grown up house in the ‘burbs, we are having a baby! In Jan! It’s quite exciting. But also, we have been so busy with all of this other nonsense that I haven’t put a ton of thought into what to […]
I needed a new table for the new house. My old one is white. And the whole house is white. And that is too much for me. Also, it’s just ever so slightly too large for this space and made walking around it a challenge. A friend of mine was selling this table on FB […]
Our new house got a new deck right before we moved in. The old one was pretty nasty I guess and it had poor drainage which resulted in a wet garage. Fortunately, (hopefully!) the drainage problem was addressed when the deck was replaced, but I suppose we shall see when spring thaw rolls around. Here’s […]
So we just bought this town home a few weeks ago, maybe a month now, and we’ve finally gotten to a place where I can think about projects and MAN, am I FULL of ideas! The first thing on my list is HB’s room. I want it to be cute and girly w/o being too […]
