I seem to hold onto everything. It is a blessing and it is a curse. Lets just say my basement holds enough stuff to furnish and decorate a whole other house. Tell me I'm not the only one! One of the things that has been hanging out in the basement for some time is a bulletin board. The bulletin board hung in my room as a teen displaying all the important things of my teen life. Pictures, dance tickets and various memorabilia. I believe the bulletin board was a birthday gift from the little ...

Reading Corner Update & Added Storage
It is no secret that Quinn's room is one of, if not my favorite room in the house (Check out the reveal here). When I walk into that room it makes me happy.

Goodwill Headboard Makeover

There she is hanging out in my garage waiting for her makeover. By makeover, I mean a good spray down with my new best friend Carbon Mist. This metallic spray paint by Rustoleum is magic in a can. Literally. It seriously looks like we bought a metal headboard. I am officially obsessed. I will share more ...
Tuesday Tutorial: Instant T.V. Stand
This project took place back when there was no blog, no reason to closely document before and afters. Afters weren't hard. My husband was so proud of the project he snapped afters and texted them to his parents. Befores were a little harder to come by. I dug through the photos and cropped a few and came up with this: If you haven't caught on yet, we are looking at our T.V. stand (I use the term loosely). When we upgraded to a flat screen T.V it no longer fit in our giant (tall and ...
