Hey! Do you have a large empty space on your wall that you want to fill up with some Christmas cheer? Do you want it to be easy? Do you want it to be fast? Do you want it to cost almost nothing? Do you also want it to be not too too tacky? Try […]

Remember last week when Chris tore down our bedroom wall and exposed the brick? Well, about an hour after it was done he said something like, “It’s been done for almost an hour, why haven’t you decorated it yet?” He was totally making fun of me, of course, because he really doesn’t care whether or […]

Have you ever tried to make a wreath out of fresh greenery at Christmas time? Maybe you had some extra branches you trimmed off your tree, or maybe you picked up some of those bunches of  greenery you can get at the grocery store this time of year. You can either just bunch the branches […]

Just as promised, here’s yet another progress report on the front hall! We got a new light! Of course, you can hardly see it in these pictures, but I just want you to know that it’s not for a lack of trying! We got it from The Home Depot down the street and Chris just […]

Over the river and through the woods, to Kennedy’s room we go! I just had to show you all this change we made in there recently because I can’t believe what a big difference it’s made. Here’s how the room looks now: And here’s how it looked before: OK, there are a few changes since […]

The other day, I painted a dresser. I’ve felt so much better every time I look at it ever since. You don’t often get to see in our bedroom because it’s half-torn apart and also not really a renovating priority right now, but that’s where the dresser is, so today’s your lucky day! I did […]
