I was pretty excited to find out that I was one of the featured projects in a recent Remodelaholic post!!  They mentioned my under the sink organization I wrote about last year. Man, I still love that before and after.  I know I’ve hit gold when I’m able to keep it looking like this for […]

Yeesh! Sometimes it is the smaller projects that take a lot of time to write a tutorial on the process and this is one of them! Here’s one more project to cross off the list for Pip’s room…one step closer to the big day…an entirely complete room in my house! Can you tell that I […]

An upholstered footstool is one of the gifts that I made for Pip for Christmas this year, in my quest to have one room in this house completely finished up.  This is part of how I made it–I say part, because I think I deleted the building part of the pictures…oops!  It is so simple […]

If you use a pocket hole jig to assemble cabinet doors, you are left with holes on the back of the door that can be seen.  This may not bother you, and I decided it didn’t on Pip’s built-ins for her room because I didn’t want to deal with it and it wasn’t going to […]

Have you ever wished that you had more than two hands?  I’m just not sure why evolution hasn’t stepped in and fixed the problem of only having two.  Every mother certainly needs more than two.  I mean come on–why does an octopus get eight??!!  I have never seen an octopus simultaneously unloading an overflowing grocery […]

Ahhh, crown moulding.  How I covet thee.  I want to put it everywhere in this house, but it seems so hard!!  This was my first attempt at any kind of crown.  Up until now, every built-in I have done has been capped off with casing (I think…or it is base…either way, it hasn’t been crown).  […]

Happy New Year! I hope your 2012 was a good one, and that 2013 is even better! I enjoyed looking at what I got checked off of my to-do list last year, so I thought I’d do it again this year. Thanks for indulging me 🙂 I started off 2012 declaring that I would finish […]
