Thank you First Alert OneLink for sponsoring this post. Onelink Safe & Sound – Meet Your Family’s New Best Friend. #ONELINKSTORY I’m always looking for ways to make my home more peaceful, secure, and beautiful, and I just found a new way with Onelink Safe & Sound! We recently installed one in our house, and the whole family loves it, all for different reasons. Onelink Safe & Sound My new Safe & Sound gives me peace of mind with its intelligent smoke & carbon monoxide alarm with remote notifications. If something were to happen, even while I’m not at home, it would notify me on my phone. That’s in addition to… Keep Reading
Yardistry 12×14 Gazebo Installation Tips
‘Tis the season to get outside! This is the time of year it starts feeling like summer, even though officially it’s still spring. Which means it’s time to get outside before it gets too hot to enjoy it! I can’t wait to share this post with you today as part of Remodelaholic’s Get Out! Outdoor DIY Challenge. We haven’t done much to our backyard since moving in two years ago, but this summer that’s all about to change. As much as I love interior decor, I also love to get outside and enjoy the amazing Albuquerque weather as often as possible. When you get about 300 days of sunshine a… Keep Reading
Pretty Pink Palette
Some days you just need to send yourself a bouquet of flowers. I love flowers of all kinds, even weeds. I especially love the flowers that I don’t have to take care of. (Never give me a living plant as a symbol of our friendship. I will let it die and it’ll be awkward for our relationship. However I’m happy to accept gifts of cut flowers since everyone knows they’ve got one root in the grave already, so I bear no responsibility.) Pretty Pink Palette Sometimes with art and design, we get all serious and esoteric about form, function, and the role of existential philosophy in post-humanistic expression. Yeah that… Keep Reading
Small Changes Add up to Big Change at the Flip House
I love a good “before” and “after,” don’t you? Well, my apologies because today is all about the “during.” When we started the makeover on our new flip house, “Hattie,” I was a little disappointed because she just wasn’t very ugly to begin with. I mean, I really love to get into a horrible rundown mess of a house and bring it back from the brink of city condemnation. Let’s rip out some walls. Let’s carry out the grossness with shovels. Let’s back up a dump truck into the driveway and fill it with terrible old cabinets and tiles and (gasp!) sludgy toilets! (I know, I’m a little bit of… Keep Reading
A New Flip House Named Hattie
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like you to meet Hattie, our latest flip house adventure. Yes, I know it’s probably weird to give people’s names to our houses, but we need a way to keep track of them and I get so attached to each one that it’s as if they have their own personality. I like to think of it as a term of endearment, rather than naming a natural disaster. Although to be honest, I’m sure both have an element of truth. If you’re just joining, you can check out our first flip here, and our second flip here. Back to Hattie. She’s a wonderful, stately lady, full of dignity… Keep Reading
Barn Door Frequently Asked Questions
Fun FAQ’s – Double Barn Doors Because sometimes a DIY tutorial raises more questions than it answers, I thought I’d spend the month of February going back and doing a series of Frequently Asked Questions posts about some of my most popular DIY projects. Now that it’s halfway through March, I’m finally ready to finish the last post in the series! So, what I intended to call “February FAQ’s” has now been changed to “Fun FAQ’s” because FAQ’s are really year-round, and also, I can’t stick to a schedule to save my life. (If you haven’t already, check out the updates on my kitchen cabinet makeover, my concrete countertops, and my… Keep Reading
Week 4: Stenciling over Tile
I learned something very important while working on this week’s $100 Room Challenge: I really dislike stenciling. But I love the effect, so I’m determined to press on. And I’m sharing with you some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned for stenciling tile. First I want to say a big Thank You to DecoArt for providing the Chalky Finish paint for this project. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own. $100 Room Challenge Week 4 – Stenciling Over Tile Have I mentioned before how glad I am that there are five weeks this January? I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to get this challenge done… Keep Reading
A New Year and a New $100 Room Challenge
I love January. Not the weather, you understand. I love the feeling of a whole new year stretching out in front of me. Just think of all the projects I can accomplish! Or at least start and never finish. All the organizing. All the planning. All the good intentions. It’s a time full of hope, and for a procrastinator like me, it’s a time of new resolve to finish what I start. Or just start. Baby steps. The other reason I love January is it’s $100 Room Challenge month. Basically, it’s my best shot at actually getting my projects done. The $100 Room Challenge If you’re just joining me, or… Keep Reading
I Love the After: The Big Reveal of our Latest Flip
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I’m not writing a progress post on our flip house like I had planned for this week. The good news is because it’s turned into a reveal post! Yep, we’re done. This sweet little home is on the market, ready and waiting for its next family. I loved working on our first flip house, but this one has brought me even more creative joy than that one did. I don’t know why, but some houses just capture your heart, and this one did just that. Maybe it was the moment my daughter christened it “The Birthday Cake House” (y’all… Keep Reading
