Don’t know what to do with all those Christmas Cards every year? Reuse them as present tags! For example, here is a lovely card I received. And here is how I destroyed it and turned it into a present tag. I think the card sender would understand, right?

My front door is officially decorated for Christmas, and it looks kind of awesome. This project was super easy. Here is the lowdown.

Some of you might remember our old kitchen table. It was a free hand-me-down from my aunt and uncle and worked great for a couple of years. It doesn’t exactly fit in our space now, so it’s been sitting in the basement for the past year. Side note: This picture was taken the night we [...]

Okay, so it’s not quite finished. But I think it’s close enough. First up, the stairwell. Remember how I told you that the previous owner appeared to just give up when she realized she couldn’t reach any higher? Yeah, this was the result. After the hubs got over his fear of heights, he managed to [...]

One of my projects this weekend was to put together a little DIY art. I couldn’t take a picture of these hanging on the wall, because it will probably be another year before I actually hang them. I found these four pictures on Ebay. They are actually just old postcards. To complete this project, I purchased four [...]

This weekend Matt and I took a little road trip and picked up this table and chairs for $75.00 from someone on Craigslist. I have plans for this set. Grand plans. Not until I get back from vacation though.
