Flippin’ Friday: Work Stoppage

Marianne — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 18:09:27 +0000

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...

Beautiful Green Kitchens!

Flippin’ Friday (on a Saturday!)

Marianne — Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:05:09 +0000

I know it’s been a few weeks since my last update, but things are starting to get exciting! The cabinets were delivered and I got to work getting them assembled. Say what you will about IKEA stuff, but one thing they really have down is the assembly process. The slight imperfections of other RTA pieces...

Fireplace Refresh (on the cheap!)

Marianne — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 20:16:38 +0000

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a Cricut kick! After wanting one for so long, I’m finally putting my Cricut Maker to some good, vinyl-cutting use! In the Split Decision, the fireplace was in good condition, including the legs and header and the built-ins flanking the sides. But I wasn’t a...

Flippin’ Friday: A Little Pile of Projects

Marianne — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 18:08:28 +0000

Happy Friday! We’ve had some exciting little changes since my last update. I’ll give you a hint… bath tile! But first, I have a pile of little projects I’m working on at home. Aside from waxing the kitchen cabinets, I also have a few other things here at my house, not the least of which...

Easy Painted Wooden Sign – Thankful

Marianne — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 17:08:42 +0000

A few years ago, I used the old pencil eraser painting technique to make artwork for my daughers’ rooms with their names in script. They were delicate and pretty, and fun to do! I also liked the dimension the paint gets when it’s simply tapped on. It gives it a lacey feel. So I thought...

Updating a 90s kitchen – WITHOUT Painting Cabinets!

Marianne — Fri, 29 Sep 2017 17:46:34 +0000

I think the first thing many homeowners think needs to happen with a dated kitchen remodel is a change of cabinets. First, let’s start with a bit of a perspective adjustment… oak or wood cabinets need not be removed or painted. They are trending back in, and that makes it so much easier to update...

Decorative Utensils

Marianne — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 20:32:25 +0000

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...
