Weekend happenings

Monday, September 30, 2013
Howdy! This is really just a filler post.  I did squat this weekend, project wise.  Well, that's not entirely true, I did finish my 3rd pelmet box for the windows in the living room.  I must confess that I am having a hard time keeping them up.  I really need to just sew the Velcro to the box and that should solve the...

Revolutionary Pelmet box

Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Okay, maybe "revolutionary" is an overstatement... But! I haven't seen one on Pinterest done this way.  I've seen several posts for DIY Pelmet boxes or Cornice boxes, whatever you wanna call it.  It's for the window and it looks pretty, okay?  Anyway, I've seen some using boards and even some using foam core, but I've never seen anyone use cardboard! Bam! And just...

Hello world! I'm really excited.  I saw a pin today that totally inspired me! This Ikea Rast Hack : by Kelly Boudreau over at Hello Boudreau got me thinking...  I have this small, skinny 4 drawer dresser thingy at the house that my mom gave me.  She had painted it white with cobalt blue drawers eons ago.  Really cute, just not my style. ...

Banister Makeover

Monday, September 16, 2013
Gooood morning y'all! I'm trying to get some life into me... it's been a long, hectic weekend.  I'm a single mother again, till Friday when Dan gets back that is.  Saturday was probably the longest day I've had in awhile.  Two soccer games, drove to Mission Beach in San Diego for a BBQ, then onto Bonita Vista to visit my friends Brianna, Brian,...
