Just a girl with a project....

It’s been a while since I posted anything, and honestly, there’s not much to post.  While I have several projects ‘in the works’, none of them are really ‘complete’.  Mornings have gone from project time to getting the boys up for swim practice, and, as of a few weeks ago, taking care of our new […]

I finally finished my clock project – AND I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!!! From a $5 yard sale frame to a massive piece of art on the wall (that’s functional too!!), this project took some time painting all the detail work on the frame, but WOW….it is definitely a statement piece in the dining […]

I recently finished this project as a Mother’s Day gift for my mother and wanted to post it to show how you can take a inexpensive piece that’s not the best looking and upcycle it using FREE pallet wood and/or items you may already have to make a big difference! This project definitely took some […]

So, I realized when I posted the floating shelves project the other day, that I hadn’t posted anything about the buffet piece I refinished…..well, that is now corrected:) This was a pretty simple project that only took a few days to do from start to finish and fits perfectly in the alcove in the Dining […]

I’ve seen several people ask the question ‘how do I finish my baseboard when the wall ends in an open space?’ or, something similar in various FB groups, so, as I walked thru the hall into the living room the other day, I snapped a few pictures and thought I would share how I finish […]

As we get closer and closer to finishing the dining room, the large empty alcove above the buffet needed some help! Although I originally planned to put a tall hutch in the space, the more I looked, the more I realized a hutch just wasn’t going to work in that space at all. When I […]

So, I’m a coffee drinker….every morning, it’s a must have!  I’m also a little impatient, so I like to set my coffee up the night before, and, luckily our coffee maker has a timer, so it’s programmed to be ready when I get up during the week.  On the weekends, it’s at least set up […]

Both of my boys love fresh fruit and vegetables and will snack on them all day if they’re available, however, lately, my youngest only wants ‘warm apples’ and ‘warm oranges’.  My intention has always been to put fruit and veggies out in a bowl on the island, but I started thinking about how the youngest […]

I decided to change up our indoor herb garden this year. Last year, we had parsley, basil, oregano and sage. This year, we still have the parsley, oregano and sage, but I added cilantro, thyme and sweet mint and did away with the basil. The basil just wasn’t doing well inside (or wasn’t doing well […]

Beckett’s custom Lego table is now finished! I added all the steps I took to create it on the Furniture & Fixtures page! It was actually pretty simple to make, and the total cost was a little less than $35 to build the entire table. And, it only took a few days of working on […]
