This post on painting shutters and garage doors is sponsored by Wagner. Don’t ever underestimate the power of painting your shutters or your garage door for curb appeal, especially if it’s been years. I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but after so many years, I stopped noticing the faded shutters, the tired paint color on the garage,… View Post
This framed pegboard project is sponsored by Arrow Fastener. Earlier in the spring I made the decision that I would buy a large “she shed” for my backyard. (I know, I know, why am I not building it myself?! Simple–it would take me 3 years!). It’s been months now since the permit has been sitting in my county’s permitting office,… View Post
This wood restoration makeover is sponsored by Franmar®. As messy as it can be, I absolutely love refinishing wood furniture, restoring wood table tops back to (or at least close to) their amazing glory. But it wasn’t that long ago that I’d slap on a coat of paint over wood just because–well, who doesn’t love pretty painted pieces of furniture… View Post
This post is sponsored by Arrow Fastener. I remember how nervous I was, as a beginner, to paint furniture and reupholster my first piece from the thrift store! I had no idea how to get started, and it felt overwhelming to know which tools I really needed for each project. Now that I’ve got many years under my belt with… View Post
This post is sponsored by Wagner Spray Tech. Antiques are at least 100 years old. They’re revered, reupholster, and ogled over. Yet, when I’d tell people that our sofa was 18 years old, their eyes widened in disbelief that in 18 years, we’ve not once upgraded the place where we parked our butts each night. As if our sofa was… View Post
In the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to meet an awesome family that had turned an old school bus into a tiny house! (People who renovate school buses into tiny houses are referred to as “skoolies” in the skoolie community, I’ve learned.) Surprisingly, they lived right down the street from me, across from my kids’ bus stop. I… View Post
Have you heard that jigsaw puzzles are all the rage again?? I absolutely love puzzles and have been addicted to making DIY puzzle boards out of wood lately. So when I saw this meme popped up on Facebook feed, it drew my attention: “Hot girl sh** sounds exhausting. I want to do old lady sh**: a puzzle, knit a sweater, sit… View Post
Several years ago I built my own raised garden beds, but I knew nothing about gardening. I literally just bought a bunch of random fruit and veggie plants from the big box store, placed them in the soil, and crossed my fingers. Needless to say, I didn’t have a very successful garden that first season! LOL Although I still consider… View Post
It was my goal to start a podcast probably a year ago, but it just didn’t happen. It’s one of those things that’s on your To-Do List and you know you’re going to get to it and you’re working on it, but it just is a slow process. Well, I’m here to tell you it’s finally happening! Listen to the… View Post

If you’re a new homeowner, it’s possible that you have no idea what questions to ask before buying a snowblower. You may not even realize that you need a snowblower until you’re under a foot of snow and all you’ve… View Post
