Promise it’s my last. In my regular trip to Goodwill yesterday, I found another bar cart (well, this one is a bar tray). But, it will actually be used as a bar cart this time. I need to free up some space in the china cabinet for my big stash of table linens, and […]

Sweet old bar cart, refinished
So, here’s the second cart I mentioned a while ago. It was supposed to be done several weeks ago, but I messed up the paint job. Twice. I don’t even know how, but I did. FYI: Old (50s? 70s?) veneer is really tricky to fix up. It’s still not perfect and I want to redo […]
Our DIY pantry (from the only closet in the house)
When we moved in, the washing machine and dryer were stationed in our house’s only closet. It was incredibly cramped. We actually had to keep the laundry detergent on the floor because there was no room for a shelf. There was no light in there and when you squeezed in to do the laundry, the […]
TV Distractions
As I’ve mentioned before, we are hoping for a whole new set up in the living room for media cabinet. I would love a built-in look and a hidden TV. Those get expensive, so we’ll be setting aside some money and deciding if we want to buy it or build it. In the mean time, I […]
My New Wagon
We have been working hard at a new craft room in the house for me (my newest toy really deserves a permanent spot). I plan on posting later in the week with pictures and plans! For now, as for finished projects (wish there were more of those around here): Our laptop has been homeless since […]
Doggy Diner
We had a problem. The entrance to the kitchen was blocked with doggie stuff. Food and water bowls that would often get kicked and spilled all over. Then there was the issue of it being healthier and more comfortable for him to not eat off the floor. Of course, what was just as irritating was […]
Ugly old sideboard to TV stand
I know, I’m several months behind on this one, but I just discovered Nesting Place’s31 Days of Lovely Limitations. And I am excited about it. Day 2 was about reusing dressers with missing drawers and it reminded me of our living room media cabinet. Originally, the one I really wanted for the living room cost […]
Loft progress!
My husband rocks. He finished the ladder to our loft this week and it’s awesome. It’s so easy to get frustrated with a “lack of progress” on projects. But I came across this photo today as I was documenting his work: The MLS photo of our bedroom before we bought the house. And yes, that’s […]
Dollhouse tour
Sorry, I know, it’s not first thing in the morning anymore. But in my defense, when I sat down and got ready to post this morning, I discovered a virus and some hacked accounts…so I’ve been trying to fix that all morning. On to the little house. It’s still very unfinished. There are so many […]
