Hi all! We have been so busy over here traveling and enjoying our family time. Not to mention our kitchen renovation is underway, which is one of the reasons for all the travel :). Our current Laundry Room is drab, boring and uninspired. Stuck in 1981, it is right in the middle of the house and in major need of a renovation. Here are some before pics of what we are dealing with now. ... continue reading...

Backyard Update – Part 3 & a Garden Hop!
Hello! My friend Tara over at Lehman Lane recently suggested a garden hop - a roundup of us bloggers and our backyards - and it dawned on me that I have shared an update on the backyard since last summer! So, I jumped on board. Now, all my super talented blogger friends are sure to share with you all their beautiful, well-maintained gardens and yards. All I can say about us is...we are working on it. Haha, it's getting better. Slowly, slowly, slowly, but it is getting better. So, lets take ... continue reading...
Outdoor Table Cover – 10 Min June DIY
I'm back for another 10-Min DIY. Sorry we missed last month - summer is crazy for all of us bloggers. It's hard to get the big projects done, but these little 10-min DIYs are perfect. This one is something I've been wanting to do for a while. We have this little slatted table in the back yard. I have no idea where it came from, it might have been left with the house. The slats drove me crazy - it's funny I didn't just buy or make a new table. So, for a quick fix I created a very simple ... continue reading...
Fiberglass Doors – Why I Picked It and How to Stain
During our recent courtyard makeover, we had two projects that we couldn't do ourselves. The first was running the electrical wire to our new outdoor post lights - I don't do electrical work for the most part - and the second was installing our new side door. This door was in such bad shape that it literally had water coming through the wood whenever it rained. Not like, around the seal, but through the door. So, needless to say it was in desperate need of being replaced. So, after doing ... continue reading...
Outdoor Wall Art – Fun & Easy Sign for the Courtyard
I am so excited to be sharing the outdoor wall art I created for our courtyard today. I feel like this is the piece that really brought the courtyard together. I wanted something fun to bring a little interest and to break up that siding a bit. Geometric wood art seems to be all the rage these days and I wanted something with the feel of geometric wood art, but a little more simple and modern. ... continue reading...
Father’s Day Gifts to Make the Outdoor Chores Easier
I can't believe it's almost Father's Day. You know how people are always saying it goes by so fast? Well, I have been feeling it lately with the kiddos being the ages where they are both super busy and all. It seems like all the holidays and birthdays just come so fast. Now it's time for Father's Day again and since my husband takes care of most of the outside housework we started talking about the tools that he uses to make the yard chores quicker and easier so that we can have a few spare ... continue reading...
Vanity Top Made From Concrete – DIY for less!
Well, it's no secret...if you've been following me for any time at all, you probably know by now that I'm a wee bit obsessed with concrete. It's so great and one of my favorite projects I've done with concrete is my vanity top back when I did redid our hall bath last fall. It was such an easy project and really gave us the feel we wanted in the new bathroom. Concrete is such a fun and affordable medium to work with. So, let's talk about this concrete vanity top. ... continue reading...
Palm vs. Belt Sander – A Breakdown for Beginners
Hi and welcome back! It's time for another round of my fairly new series - Tool Tuesday. The past couple of months I discussed the differences in saws, and this month I'm switching it up a bit to one of my other favorite tools - sanders. I love sanding stuff. I know many people don't feel that way, with all the tips and tricks to avoid sanding these days, but in my opinion you need to sand if you want to get a beautiful finish on your woodworking projects. I have about 6 or 7 sanders total, ... continue reading...
