In two weeks I was supposed to be stepping on a flight to Wellington, New Zealand, starting a new chapter in my life that would last at least a year. All that bureaucracy I went through just for everything to fall through. No…it did not fall through it crashed like a MF’er and I have to say it … Continue reading
Jan 2 I am winging my boudoir. I purchased all the supplies to have a table with a skirt and as time is passing I am changing my mind on practically everything. You see, I live by the 10 minute rule. If I am 100% sure about it but don’t put it into action immediately … Continue reading
I got sooo ticked off last night. I had been working with a color consultant at Valspar to pick a color for my vanity. We emailed Wednesday and I knew she would be sending me the name of the color we discussed last night. While in Lowes my phone died making me unable to check my email, but wait … I … Continue reading
Every once in a while I come across something that literally blows me away. I mean straight to Kansas blows me away. Tonight, I renewed my tablet data and was able to visit thebigredbarn website. The first post I read they were sharing a project from Between the Sheets and my jaw is still on the floor. … Continue reading
I am supposed to be working on my bedroom right? Well every time I pass these extra sample bottles I purchased (and are now just siting in my laundry room), I hear this pleading ” Find some place for me to be loved pleeeeease”. I felt sorry for them so I buckled in and decided … Continue reading
As you know, I started with two tables I got from Walmart a few years ago. I wanted this to be the base of my table. This is one of them. Then I purchased a 2’x4′ board from the store that messed up my toe, (Lowe’s), laid it on top and then primed it. I … Continue reading
I have been out thrifting, and collecting materials for my projects as normal. I am not sure for how many days in a row but it has been a lot. I must say, the thrift store fairy has been very kind to me. And I am not bragging Continue reading
So I have shared people’s profiles and each follow has a button on the right side of my page with the top ones being the most recent. Some of these blogs only have the WordPress logo and some have photos. If you want more followers then know people are more apt to click on your thumbnail … Continue reading
Between yesterday and today I been out thrifting again. I guess I am so happy to be up and about I am working double time? Not sure but yesterday I went to Trosa and found this darling candle holder for $1.99. I was stoked. It looks small but it is about 7″ tall and I … Continue reading
I am trying to finish my table I did in the previous post but I can’t figure out what I should do for a skirt style or a color. Can anyone help with ideas? Continue reading
Well not exactly 1,2,3…see what happened is I purchased two little cube tables from Walmart. I think they were $15 for the set. I thought I needed them when I saw them but then after I got them I never really used them. This project involves using the two of them as a base for … Continue reading
I have been giving my Cameo quite a little workout lately with all the projects and all the mucked up “test” runs. I noticed the last time I cut the cuts were not clean. I wrote Silhouette to ask them how do I know if the blade is dull or not but so far I … Continue reading
I know the name of the room is not original but my Grandma called her bedroom the boudoir, and she named some other rooms as well, but I will reveal them later. I didn’t even remember that until I started thinking of names. So in memory of my sweet Grace who like to call herself … Continue reading
Sooo one of the things I have been reading about is people using milk and chalk paints. I am not too much into the distressed look but I do like the soft finish. Before I started working on my desk I asked my expert. ” Google what is the difference between chalk and milk … Continue reading
