Welcome and thanks for stopping by! So, we had this little problem. When we first moved in, we weren't sure what to do with the furniture and TV layout in the main room. It's a great room, but the wall in the middle of the room left us a little stumped. We decided to mount the TV over the fireplace because that was the only way we could make the room work with the furniture. I really love sitting on the couch in the morning and watching the sun come up over backyard while ... continue reading...
No Sew Adult Anna Frozen Costume for Cheap!
Hi and welcome back! We love Halloween around here. We all dress up, party, trick or treat, you know general holiday fun. A few years back, my daughter wanted to go as Elsa and Anna. I tried to talk the boys into Olaf and Kristoff, but the Ninja Turtles won out for them. Elsa was easy but the adult Anna Frozen costume was a little tougher to find. ... continue reading...
Painting Trick
I'm one of those weird people that doesn't mind painting. I love that feeling of the first roll of a new color going up. I love to sit and listen to the radio or talk to old friends and paint. I love the way a freshly painted room looks and feels.

But until then, I thought I'd share this table I built for a friend ... continue reading...
The House Inside
So, here is a quick introduction to the inside of the house. I'm really just playing with the blog at this point and trying to figure everything out. These are all "before" pictures. Hang with me, I'll have some updates soon! I'm going to try and walk you through best I can. So, here we go. In through the front door and we have... This is a great room, we have new couches and a pool table on order. I am planning to build some shelving, occasional tables and maybe a wet bar. One of the ... continue reading...
The House
Hello all! Thanks for coming over to the page. I'll be posting what I'm doing with the house here, but wanted to start with a little introduction to the craziness. When we decided to move to OK, I wanted a new home. A lot of people here have pools, and I remember telling my Realtor that I wanted a new house with NO pool. We found a new home we liked. The yard was tiny, but we liked the house. But for some reason, it wasn't perfect so we held off. Then I saw this home and fell for ... continue reading...
