Winners! (And computers hate me.)

Please, someone PLEASE hold me back from throwing the computer in a lake. I’ve fought with one computer all week and now I’m on our archaic one and it’s power cord is jacked so it shuts down randomly while I type.
…like just now.
Technology hates me.
Anyway, I hope you’ll understand the reason for this brief post tonight, and I hope to be back shortly (maybe even this weekend if I can get one

It's a spray paint party!

Hey hey! We’ve been dealing with a blue screen of death around here tonight –
but Hubs saved the day. :) And then Live Writer decided to hate me...so this post looks a little different because I'm publishing in Blogger. Because I’m getting this up later than I had
hoped, this will be a quick post, so you all can get to linkin’!
I'm just glad to have it GO UP. 

Today’s party is the last in the

A spring welcome

Hello there! How the heck are ya? Hope you had a GREAT weekend! I thought the Hunger Games was awesome – I felt like an idiot cause I knew what was going to happen (duh, read the book!), but I still was jumping out of my seat one minute, nervously covering my face the next, moving around in my seat with anticipation…it was just ridiculous. But it was GOOD. :) Anyway, today we are partying up

Home Decor Giveaway!

Hello hello! I’m ready for the weekend because the weekend means the Hunger Games movie! So psyched! (I swear I’ll stop talking about it after this weekend. Probably.) I haven’t been this excited for a movie in…well, ever. And then Titanic comes out in 3D in a couple weeks! Hubby isn’t quite as excited about that one. ;) (Although I think he secretly loves it.) But first, one of my favorite

The grass is greener on the door

No need to adjust your computer screen – yes this is two posts in one day. ;) Blogger had some issues last night and I couldn’t the post up, so it went live this morning. Today I’m sharing a fun little craft project I’m linking up to Kate’s spring crafts party as a part of our Spring Fling linkies: Soooo…I had a total blogger brain fart and forgot to mention Layla’s mantel party on Tuesday.

We have (basement) lights!

Well HEY! Today was a bit crazy because we’ve had some last minute progress on the basement, and I spent the day reading the second Hunger Games book all in one day as well. I’ve been both super productive managing the basement process and crazy unproductive reading like mad. So confusing. I’m as hooked on this one as I was the first!! Only about 20 more pages, so this post may be quick. ;)

The Moon Chairs

Sooo, I don’t go into Goodwill nearly as much as I used to. I was going a couple times as week there for awhile and it contributed way too much to my crapification problem. ;) Now I am dropping off stuff a lot more than picking up. I probably go in once a month now. And last week I went in and found a couple really fun items. There were six “moon chairs” for $15 each and I kept walking past

Show Us Your Kitchens!

Hey hey! Well, first, I have to say THANKS for making me feel a little less weird. ;) I loved your comments on my last post. So either I’m not weird or I am and a whole bunch of you are too. ;) Either way we’re golden. It’s time to show off more of your houses and I’m really excited about this one! This month we’re sharing kitchens at the Show Us Your House party: If you’ve been around for

All about…me?

Hello there! I for one am THRILLED the weekend is here. This has been an insane crazy week and I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit. Today’s post is one I’ll admit isn’t the most comfortable for me. I don’t particularly like talking about myself. My house, yes. Me? No. But I promised you more of “me” earlier this year. Pictures of the person writing this blog. Action shots if you will.

I love you honey (oak)

This post isn’t about my Honey, although I love him bunches too…even more than my honey oak. And that’s saying a LOT. A few years ago I would have turned up my nose at any piece of furniture with “oak” as the finish. I’ve always been a cherry kind of girl. But over time my tastes are definitely changing. But I’m a honey oak lady now and I’ll sing it from the rooftops! Or this blog. Whatever.

Dining room transformation, step one!

Hey hey! How was your weekend? I spent half of Sunday finishing up the first Hunger Games book – whoa, SO good. I’m avoiding the second one until I get a few good nights of sleep under my belt – I go to bed wayyy to late when I’m into a book. ;) Anyhoo, I did get a little something done this weekend. Or I should say started. Or I should say my Dad and brother got it started. ;) Remember when I

Giveaway Weekend!

Hello there! Well it’s the weekend and it’s beautiful out and I’m feeling like maybe we may avoid any more snow till next winter…maybe. And that is reason to celebrate…with some free stuff! I’m back with a great giveaway from one of my dear friends and she’s no stranger to TDC. Cause I love her and her message and her products. She makes me happy, just like spring. :) It’s been amazing to

How you doin’?

No how YOU doin’?? ;) I’ve been planning this post forever, because there’s lots of projects that I do up in here that I’ve been meaning to update you on. When I see projects out in blogland, I love hearing how they work in real life and how they hold up. It’s like those extreme makeover shows when they show the person a year later and you’re all like, ohhh, they look GREAT. Or ohhh, that’s

March Before and After Party!

Hello! It’s time again – party hardy at the March Before and After Party! This year is FLYING. As I mentioned earlier this year, I’ll be highlighting some of the fabulous projects from the month before at each party. (So be sure to link back if you want to be included!) First up, let’s admire the simple but beautiful transformation of Julie’s classy brassy Goodwill lamp:    OK, wait.

Have a settee

This post is proof that good things come to those who wait…at least it came to me. This time.  ;) For about the past, oh…YEAR, I’ve been looking for something very specific for this spot at the bottom of our stairs: I thought a little settee would look quite lovely there, but it wasn’t really something I needed, so I just kept my eye out. Forever. I looked at shops, I looked online, I

Spring Fling and more!

Hello all! Happy Friday to you all! I’m the late one making this fun little announcement, but I had to let you know…we’re baaaaaack!! ;) We have so much fun doing these linkies and I hear you all get some darn good traffic from them, so we are really looking forward it again this spring! For this Spring Fling, Layla will host spring mantel decor, Rhoda will have the door decor party, Kate
