Maybe it’s just me, but I am constantly finding cute file folders, and I hate to just stick them in a drawer. I want to see them! So I made a desktop folder holder to show off my latest folders. I love projects that are fun and functional. It was also a great way to…
Staging Plan
Selling an empty house is a challenge – that’s certainly not a new revelation. There have been entire TV series centered around the power of staging. When we first listed our first flip house, we didn’t do any staging. The living room was huge, especially for a house its size. It was an addition, and…
Update! The House of Plaid Ceilings
There was a flurry of activity when I got to the flip house yesterday! It gives me an adrenaline rush to give a big push to finish up. Even the garage, which has been a dumping ground obstacle course of trash, cardboard, and fixtures, was cleaned out and vacuumed! The kitchen countertops went in…
Decorative Utensils
I love to paint, especially when there is pretty much no prep or cleanup. Oh, and I can use a fun color. I did a little project this morning to help jazz up the kitchen in the house of plaid ceilings. I purchased my cutting board and utensils from IKEA, but you can find ones…
Outdoor Screen – Pool Filter Cover
One of the first things you see when you pull up to our house is the pool filter… not exactly welcoming! We placed it with plans to one day build a garage/ pool house, but now after needing funds for our investment houses and getting laid off, that plan is on hold. So, I…
The House of Plaid Ceilings
Well, we are hopefully less than a month away from listing my 2nd flip house. Right now I’m busily working on a staging plan. I thought you might like a peak at what the house looked like when we opened the doors! We purchased a foreclosure at auction. Now, I don’t know about you, but…
Flag Pole Planter
We finally let our red, white and blue fly! I have been wanting to hang our flag, but I wasn’t quite sure where to put it. And of course, I didn’t want to put holes in our siding, so I made a movable flag pole. I started with this cedar planter by Ana White, and then modified it…
X Trellis
One of my problems with having a saw at home… hating to buy something when I know I could just make it myself. This spring I decided I’d like some height next to our patio steps to the porch. So I planted a mandevilla, but when I went to look for a trellis, it…
Grill or Kitchen Cart with Galvanized Top
Since moving into our new house, our little grill has been relegated to a tiny concrete pad outside our laundry room door… it was so inconvenient. And so we hardly ever grilled. We long planned to put in a patio off our screened porch, and we’ve finally gotten it done! Now, I’m not a crazy…
Quick and Fun Wall Art
I seem to have issues bypassing the scrapbook paper section in the craft store. There are so many I like, but I have nothing to do with them. So, I came up with a way to use them in my kids rooms. This is an easy project that kiddos can help you with. It can…
