Awhile back, as some of you may recall, I bought a big chunky dresser for $45 at the thrift store (not on the same Friday night that I bought everything else that’s now in my house, but at the same store). Said dresser is unbelievably heavy and still has a stamp on the back dating it to 1974. I’d had some … Continue reading
Not going to lie; I’m pretty excited about this one. It’s a project that could not be a Pinterest Challenge, because I came up with it all on my own. Not that a striped dresser is anything unique, but I haven’t seen any other subway map striped dressers. Back when I posted about the plans for Ari’s room, I mentioned that … Continue reading
Back when I talked about our plans for Ari’s room, I mentioned how much I loved this two toned dresser at Simply Klassic Home: Two toned dresser at Simply Klassic Home ….and how I planned to redo his desk in the same style. Fortunately, I also pinned it to my board of ideas for his room, so when I saw … Continue reading
My goal is to finish Ari’s tween room before he’s a teenager. Or, preferably, by the beginning of April, because we have a big project in mind for Dave’s spring break. We’ll see how things go, though, as always. But! There has been definite progress since I first posted about the current state of and future plans for Ari’s room. … Continue reading

But, as you can see, I am still here. Historically, my babies show up remarkably close to their due dates). So check out how I’m trying … Continue reading
So let’s see….we’ve crossed putting in hardwood floors of the list. I think we’ve pretty much decided the bathroom tile will have to wait, too. (I guess I should say more about that, since I kept insisting it was SO IMPORTANT. Thing is, the master bath is right over the unheated garage. And it’s a huge room with one lone … Continue reading
I have bigger things to blog about–like the FINALLY (mostly) finished back steps. And Thanksgiving. But first, a post about a few of the little things that have been going on, house-wise. Fiesta and Gable decided to stop taking turns on everyone’s favorite dog bed and just share it instead. Awwww…..BFFs! I finally finished painting this little table thing. I … Continue reading
Update: Psst….another chalk painting attempt, with a more exciting project here A post about chalk paint is sort of a rite of passage if you want to blog about your house, right? At least that is the impression I got from reading 80 gazillion blog posts about chalk paint in preparation for this project. But, truthfully, I had not even heard … Continue reading
