Breath of Spring from Home

March 21, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Last Tuesday, I headed to Target in need of some essentials for home. Nope, I didn’t get toilet paper, though that may have been the smart thing to do. But I decided to give myself a bit of time to peruse some new items out for spring. I got an Easter dress and sandals for…

Bringing a Cute Craftsman to Life

March 7, 2020 · 1 Comment

I love finding houses that I totally would have bought back in my single days, when I was just first starting out. This one totally would have been on my love list. It’s in an adorable part of town, has a beautiful yard, and is loaded with charm. I’m a sucker for radiators and big…

Kitchen Floating Corner Shelves

March 2, 2020 · Leave a Comment

I’m sure you’ve all seen floating shelves before in one variation or another. The one thing a little different about these is I wanted them to be a bit thinner and I needed them to wrap a corner. I went back and forth on using floating brackets, but I just didn’t feel as comfortable installing…

Wood Island from Old Stock Cabinets

February 26, 2020 · 5 Comments

I love a really nice, wood, furniture-type island. They make a kitchen feel warmer and homier to me. The cost, though… the cost can be sky-high. When planning the kitchen for the Plain Jane, I didn’t want to have an all white kitchen, but I was also stuck in a stock-cabinet budget. So I decided…

Experimenting with Wax

February 24, 2020 · 36 Comments

I love getting messages from readers that they have been inspired and totally changed course on a kitchen renovation after seeing how I’ve updated oak kitchens. I love being able to save someone money and headaches! Out of those messages and my own curiosity I tried liming wax recently with not so great results :(….

Budget Friendly Black Faucets

October 27, 2019 · Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I shared some of my favorite budget friendly brass-ish faucets that I’ve found as I shopped for the Plain Jane. Today I’m sharing some of my finds with a black finish. Bath The Jacuzzi Duncan faucets feature a range of options depending on your sink. The single hand;e streamlined option comes…

Flippin’ Friday: Work Stoppage

October 4, 2019 · 3 Comments

I know I’ve been MIA, but I’ve had good reason. Unfortunately, work has come to a bit of a screeching halt over at the Plain Jane. Our contractor who is putting in the flooring had some personal things to take care of, and the floors still haven’t been started. Island I’m eager to get the…
