This is a sponsored post on behalf of Homes.com. Today, I'm switching it up and sharing a kitchen renovation project! I know... I meant to post this weeks ago when I posted about the kitchen island custom bookcase, but then when I went to add pictures into the post I somehow could not find them. Like non-existant. So I either 1. Never took them (which I don't doubt) or 2. my camera ate them (highly unlikely). So that's why it took me a little longer than usual to get this post up. … [Read more...]
{Video} How to Refinish an End Table with 3M DIY
January 7, 2014 By 19 Comments
This post is a collaboration with 3M DIY. Early last year, our neighbor, Edie, came to us asking if we could help her refinish an end table. We told her yes, but then project after project (and pregnancy) got in the way. We made it a resolution to ourselves that we were going to refinish the end table for her birthday (which was last Friday)! We picked it up in the morning and brought it back to her by the end of the day. She was amazed at the drastic difference and said it was her best … [Read more...]

November 15, 2013 By 4 Comments
(Image Source) Last month, I had the opportunity to interview the ever-so-talented Barbara Corcoran! When the opportunity came upon us I started to freak out.

So, Barbara if you are reading--know that I love your show. I was told to be professional by the husband! I mentioned on our Facebook page that we would be … [Read more...]
