Libation Station for the Screened-In Porch

So I haven’t really done anything with the screened-in porch for a while now.  That is, until my dad was driving by the neighbor’s, and happened to see a door that they had put out at the curb. We went back to look at it, and I really liked that it had glass panes that […]

Wood Cornices Built for Revamped Kitchen

When we bought the house, the original owners left their fabric valances on the sink window, and the double window in the dining room.  They had wine bottles on them, and were cute, but just didn’t fit in with our kitchen makeover. I knew I wanted something architectural to go with the new crown molding, […]

Rustic Bucket for Winter Decoration

Well, it feels like it has been forever since I have written a post.  Probably because it has been forever.  I have been doing things, and taking pictures as I go along, but I haven’t had the time to sit down and write anything. I have some items that I’ve done for Christmas, so I’m […]

40th Anniversary Picture Block

A long time ago, I saw these really cool blocks that someone had done using pictures to commemorate their wedding.  I searched forever, thinking I would find them again, but I have no idea where I saw them, so I can’t give credit to whoever it was.  I originally did a block featuring my grandparents […]

A Happy Yellow Bench Revamp

Where to start…Well, I guess it began last August when Double D bought me some awesome vintage chairs to put on our front porch.  We have sadly neglected the front porch for years now, although I did have some amazing theatre seats that I moved around back, so it was a bit empty until he bought me those […]

A necklace hanger for me…

Finally, I have somewhere to hang my small amount of necklaces.  I have had them in jewelry boxes, but they were always seeming to get tangled up.  Also, if I kept them in there, that saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”, was true.  I never wore them.  I am almost embarrassed to say where […]
