Alternate post titles: Black Walnut is Bitchin'. or Buh-bye Shoe Rack End Table. There's not actually going to be a lot of interpretative dancing, unless you bribe me with cold, hard …
It's a guest room miracle. With a little inspiration, I completely overhauled an old bedroom dresser that I've moved from apartment-to-apartment-to-apartment-to-apartment-to-house (no exaggeration). See how I took this totally f-r-e-e piece of …
Naked pillows, no more. They're dressed to impress. At least I think so. I had some leftover scraps from my gray felt ottoman project, and in that waste-not-slash-I'm-sorta-cheap mentality, I put …
Hold off temptation to roll your eyes as I tell you that I covered another (yes, seriously, a third) wall of my house in shiplap paneling. (If you're just arriving, see …

I had a fun idea for home decor. But it didn't go so well. Want to see anyways? Here are the facts, Jack: I collect candles from garage sales. Even if they've …
I don't often write about cooking, what I cook, how I cook, or what I eat, but DIY Greek Yogurt is something I've been wanting to try for awhile. Yogurt …
This artwork has hung in the basement since Pete moved it in from his apartment in April. It's a decent quality canvas, although I'll use the term canvas loosely because …
I actually finished leveling the dirt pile last week, but somehow forgot to show you how the new front yard turned out. Voila. This took forever. The 8 yards of topsoil that …
The votes rolled in, were tallied, and... I still went with my gut. When I started looking online for fabrics to cover the ottomans, I fell in love with this pretty, watercolor-esque …
