Just another embarrassing sight this morning, though I can say that it's less disgusting than yesterday's tutorial on swapping out a disposal guard. My guest room/walk-in-closet has become a dumping …
This is going to be gross, but I think it's something that a lot of new homeowners in fixer-uppers face. So I'm going to proceed, but consider yourself warned. The double …
Back with another painting post. Between yesterday's post on the foundation, and previous recent posts on the radiator, the garage + garage door, the glassblock window frames, the striped stairs, and …
It's amazing what an afternoon's work (and can of special paint) can do. Here's to tackling something that most people would overlook or ignore (including myself). I mentioned last week …
My original intent in going to Home Depot last week was to find some new large plants to occupy terra cotta pots that I had given an overhaul. The updates …
In the vein of handcrafted-awesomeness, I have a little unsolicited promo to sing about this afternoon. It's a small-but-amazing event that, if you're local, or maybe in Syracuse, or maybe in …
I picked up the Great Dane and Chihuahua of house plants at Home Depot yesterday because I couldn't help myself; all of the plants in the store were looking so …
I finally got fed up with the full-size bed in the master bedroom. Who lives like this anyways? Imagine me. Jammed in there. 5'9" body hardly fitting end-to-end. I was too used …
Damn you, troublesome windows. See, the foundation of the house is poured concrete, but only rises about 8" above the surface of the earth. Baked right into the foundation were five …
Painting a cast iron radiator is annoying, but inevitable if you want to keep up a not-so-rugged radiator appearance. Fortunately, once you do it, and if you do it right, …
As I mentioned on Friday, Pete and I had a plethora of home item duplication when it came time to consolidate our two homes, so we hosted my first-ever yard …
Between the humidity stalling a few painting projects, and simultaneously making me a miserable goon of an un-airconditioned girl, I don't have a new crafty project to show you today. …
Adding another inspiring biz to the growing work-pad series! You know how much I love a nice, productive and efficient workspace. And Katrina has one. Assembling an efficient and organized …
When I first "finished" the driftwood lamp a few months ago, I had bought this bright white drum shade from Target knowing full-well once I saw it on the lamp …
Backtrack to 2009 to me finding Cody gnawing on the guest room Urban Outfitters comforter. He left a sweet not-so-little and not-so-reparable hole in it, although I have to admit that …
Something hasn't been right in the stairwell since I painted the steps. I sat at the base of the stairs looking upwards for awhile Friday evening trying to place my angst. …
We're about to get out and have summer fun with family all day, and I hope you do too, but first, just a quick little note on this fine, fine, …
I never quite know what I'm going to find in Grandma's Attic, which I like to position as a cutesy salvage shop and not what it really is, as in …
I'm clearly getting my act together with the whole finishing-the-front-entryway thing. I showed you the doorbell that was installed earlier in the week, and am stoked to report that I …
