Paint gun happiness continues. I spy a rockin' theme for the upcoming fall header image. The real reason I bought another honkin' gallon of primer (upping my count of gallons of …
This is what 8 yards of topsoil looks like upon delivery. How about next to a Jeep Patriot? Just for scale. How about next to me? At $15/yard, and a negotiated $40 delivery …
I set out with a mission to finish the bedroom curtain project pronto because taping the curtains in place wasn't working. I couldn't have the blue painters tape releasing, dropping …
Back when I had begun to envision how my room would look with its new full-blown wooden headboard, I had also considered anchoring the bed beneath the window with simple …
The pegboard painting project moved right along once I mastered the art of the spray gun. I couldn't have been happier to get started on the project late last week, and …
Taking DIY to the extreme. Please check with your doctor before attempting this at home. And wear proper shoes, for goodness sake. You're going to think I've gone whacko when I …
The IKEA duvet cover I bought a few years ago is admittedly not high quality. It's cute though; white, with a pleated detailing across the top that takes it just …
I have this half-fleshed-out plan to use a pegboard in the office as an alternative to using the more expected cork board, whiteboard, or chalk board for utility. Remember, I'm only half-way …

Here's something I bet you didn't see coming. Buh-bye, DIY-stenciled sunroom dots. You were fun while you lasted. The backstory on this second-time-around-sunroom-floor-painting-balooza has to do with 4 things: 1.) Wear. 2.) Tear. 3.) Flatness. 4.) …
"Make it work, staining-newbie." Obviously, no. Not really. But there was a time during this whole staining-the-shiplap project that I needed the encouragement and perspective of a Tim Gunn. Or Emily …
I loved my summertime succulent wreath. It hung wonderfully, and didn't fade, droop, or melt out of shape in the extreme heat in the cavern of fire which formed every …
