Bedroom Ceiling Intro

I dream of a super romantic bedroom to include a fabric draped ceiling. I don’t know why but I always wanted this in my bedroom.  I once had mosquito netting around my bed and yes that was very  romantic but it got in the way at times and made the romance fizzle if you know … Continue reading →

Muck Up

I had to take my curtains article down temporarily.  Today after I figured how to VERY EASILY cut the poles (and no I did not use a steak knife LOL, I used a metal jig saw blade and it cut like butter) I went to put my finials on  and they did not fit.  WHAAAAAAT?  … Continue reading →

I  worked on my table this evening.  I still have to put the glass like coating on it and then mount it to the wall.  Just another step closer.  Monkeys and leaves are put on with  Modge Podge.  I was apprehensive about this stuff but I am liking it a lot!!  There will be a … Continue reading →

Good News!

Worker A called me today and said he will be here in the morning.  THANK THE LORD.  I was worried to death about this.  Problem is that I do not have the drywall 😦  I think I have enough other stuff to keep him busy though. And yes I jumped the gun and panicked to … Continue reading →

I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night.  Worried if the weekend is going to be a bust by Worker A not coming back to work.  Well I will do what I can and that’s all I can do. I have to finish because my head is exploding with ideas for my livingroom.  This … Continue reading →

I am feeling some kind of way

Did you ever have a situation going on and you just don’t know how to feel about it so you dread the worst?  That is how I am feeling. I had Santos doing some work for me.  He priced the job, brought two workers and left them.  They finished the job in 3 or 4 days, I … Continue reading →

I Luv LUV Luv EC Lock Grip Strip Flooring!!

In my kitchen I used EC LOCK floors it is a grip strip vinyl plank and everyone who has seen it thinks the floor is wood. It looks good and for the kitchen (110 sq ft) it only cost $70 but thats because I got my two boxes from a surplus warehouse. I got the Chestnut finish. In Homedepot they sell the Allure brand but it costs a little more. I had a sample of the floor I used with me and it looked exactly the same.. Continue reading →

What your Decorating colors say about you…

I read an article I would like to share with you.  The psychology of color: Shades of red For centuries, red has meant passion, and that’s why getting two dozen red roses from a special someone means “I love you big time.” People who are partial to shades of red, from apple and rose red … Continue reading →

Yup Still Busting at the Seams

I went food shopping today and First of all I was pissed at the prices in the store.  Every time I go in there it seems like prices are going up up up.  That does not make any sense! But I cooked a full course meal and it was yumm yummm yummm.  I tried to … Continue reading →

Thoughts

This weekend I been wasting time on the computer looking for this no sew technique I found on a blog to hang a valance on a 1×2 piece of wood. I made a comment on it and now I can not find it in my links, bookmarks, pinterest, reader or anywhere and I know I … Continue reading →

Kitchen…just checking in

As I started putting things away in my kitchen I felt as if I was moving in all over again. I have so much stuff and I swear I must have some gypsy in my blood because I am not one to enjoy a lot of empty space. For some reason I feel like I should fill every single available nook and cranny and when I have company they are always looking around distracted when I am trying to talk. The comment I always hear is your place is so interesting. LOL Not sure if that is a nice way of saying hoarderish and/or junky but I hope not as that was not the goal. I did throw a lot of things away so I KNOW I am not as bad as those ppl on Continue reading →

ohhhh it is soooo coming together…

Blind Base Cabinet fix

I wanted to put two lazy Susan’s in my kitchen but I was 2″ too short on wall length for that so I had to get a lazy Susan for one side and a blind base cabinet on the other. Have you ever tried to reach into a blind base?  Nearly impossible to get all … Continue reading →

Still Working…

I finally put my window doors up.  I am trying something new and sometimes my ideas turn out okay and sometimes not.  We will see how this works out.  If you remember a few weeks ago I found some Valspar crackle paint on sale from $7 to $1.99 at Lowe’s.  I never tried this but … Continue reading →

Pot rack is up

Okay project one…put up the pot rack. Step one…I needed the toggle bolts  as per Curt’s recommendation.  I went to Lowe’s and told the guy what I wanted.  He asked me why those specifically and I told him Curt told me to buy them.  He said well okay if “Curt” said so you better go … Continue reading →

I can’t help myself

I think I have adult ADD and I am sooo over this kitchen and ready to move on.  I  asked one of my contractor’s workers to come over this weekend and help me out. If he comes…where we stop Saturday evening is going to be the extent of my construction on the kitchen. I have to get … Continue reading →

side tracked topic

Okay tell me if I was wrong here.  I go to a cheap store to buy a cheap dress for one time use.  I need it tomorrow and tomorrow only and I don’t want to run around all night long looking for this cheap dress that I am going to wear one day.  So as … Continue reading →

I need help solving another problem

About 4 years ago I purchased this Cuisinart Pot Rack. And I am hell-bent on using it.  The reason I have not progressed on this kitchen now is because I don’t want to move forward without solving my current problem.  I did not think about putting in the pot rack until after I closed the wall.  Otherwise I would … Continue reading →
