January/February recap and plans for March

March 2, 2015

Did you miss any of my posts in January + February?   Facebook can be so hit and miss showing my posts to people and everyone gets busy so I thought I might start doing these monthly recap posts again.  They help me see what I accomplished that month too – sometimes it doesn’t feel like […]

New Blinds in the Master Bedroom

February 27, 2015

A Master Bedroom post – could it be??!   I took off time from working on the bedroom during the holidays and a insanely busy December, then I got bronchitis for 2 weeks in January and the winter blues sort of hit.  And the master bathroom has been an easier-to-accomplish and easier-to-see-the-finished-pretty-after so I have […]

February 24, 2015

When sometimes trying to be frugal turns out to be a big fat FAIL

February 17, 2015

DIY, decorating, being a homeowner,  and trying to be frugal isn’t always easy.  And sometimes it just fails…  I don’t want to give you this rosy picture that I buy Pottery Barn furniture at yard sale prices to furnish my home and it looks like a catalog and is always perfectly neat and tidy at […]

How to frame out that builder basic bathroom mirror (for $20 or less!)

February 10, 2015

So this is the way our master bathroom looked at the beginning of December.  Don’t stare too long or the beige from floor to ceiling may burn your eyeballs… Then I painted the entire bathroom in Magnet by Behr Marquee (same color as our master bedroom), changed out the light fixture with a freebie from […]

House tour: Molly from Pennies’nGrace

February 4, 2015

I love a good house tour, don’t you?  And especially a house tour where I feel like I feel like the style and furnishings is attainable for me.  While I love taking a peek at fancy, expensive homes – that just won’t ever be in our budget or lifestyle and isn’t even my style.    So […]

January 23, 2015

Disclosure: Post and giveaway sponsored by XFINITY, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. Internet… In the 21st century it has become pretty much essential like water and electricity.  I honestly don’t think I know ANYONE that doesn’t have internet  – even if they don’t pay for internet service at […]
