52/52 Challenge :: Stripped and Refinished Entryway Mirror
I’ve been wanting to do this project for a long time. I had this mirror painted green….you heard me, green! It didn’t go at all but I really liked the color. Weird. I know. I procrastinated a long time thinking it would take forever to strip the paint, sand, and stain. I was wrong! This…
52/52 :: Kitchen Aid Makeover with Spray Paint – red to white
My Man bought me this mixer almost 10 years ago. I was really into RED back then so he picked out a red Kitchen Aid Mixer. I couldn’t have been more happier. Fast forward 10 years and I’m kinda over the red. So….I couldn’t justify buying a new one JUST to change the color but…
Favorite Finds for Fall
I love this time of year! Such a cozy time of year. Makes me want to make warm beverages topped with whipped cream + drizzled caramel and sit on my porch swing watching the leaves fall. That sounds like a good idea! I think I’ll do that right after I share these wonderful Fall treasures!…
52/52 Challenge :: DIY Butcher Block Makeover
I’m a butcher block lover, loved them for a long, long, time. In fact, my MOM has a small butcher block on rollers that will be mine…someday!! Anyway, I bought this as a table off the local classifieds for $50. We took the bottom part off and like a dummy tossed them out. Live and…
52/52 Challenge :: Ikea Microwave in Pantry
I can’t believe it! We have a microwave in the wall/pantry! I love it! It’s the same one I saw on unclutterer. When we had the microwave above the stove, it was always so crowded…hello, 9 people! Now I don’t worry if something will drop into the cooking pots below. I’m not totally done with…

This was a really fun project because I didn’t have to do anything! It was all My Man! He did a great job, don’t ya think?! He’s a keeper! Just a couple/few notes: 1. The bead board is in the process of being painted (in this photo). posting soon! 2. The light is UGLY, I…
52/52 Challenge :: Sanded Church Pew
I’m excited to share my Church Pew! I had this for many years in my Entryway…..painted it several times…red, yellowish, white, and maybe another color at some time. I love this pew! Earlier this year I sent it to the backyard so I could bring in a smaller, classier, bench so the pew spent a few…
My Signature Style Board
I’m back after a couple months….it’s been busy around here! I’ve been working on my 52/52 Challenge, lots of projects to post. I have my work cut out for me! Since I started the 52/52 Challenge I discovered a lot about my ‘style’. Many of the things I liked, I know longer like. It’s a…
Blog Bulge Babes – Linky Party
A couple weeks ago, Julie from Redhead Can Decorate, did a post about her weight gain from Blogging….you know, sitting at the computer with a yummy snack while visiting and commenting on all the wonderful blogs out there. I was impressed she had the courage to post her weight, *gasp!, and share her weight lose journey with…
Bye, Bye, Microwave :: 52/52 Challenge
I’m soooo loving this project!! I’ve been wanting to get rid of the microwave and install a hood fan for a while. I’ve always loved the Gourmet Hood Fans but they are pricey and I don’t have the space. We visited https://www.sofi.com/personal-loans/home-improvement-loans/ and got a loan for this remodeling project. Here’s my list of reasons…
