The Garden Cottage Bed and Breakfast

Sometimes I have trouble conveying to my husband exactly how I want our yard to look.  We are working on our landscaping and I have a vision but I talk really fast and a lot, so sometimes I overload him.  In his defense I usually say something like, "Ben I want us to have almost too many  flowers like a cottage garden."  And I often say to him, while he is driving, "See that yellow bush over there, that is exactly the one I want" or "look at those shutters, they are perfect."   Upon reflection I realized that these two...

Tiny little seedlings

I have wanted a garden for a very long time.  Last week, Kirby (my roomate) and Ben planted our garden all while I was at work.  I can't wait until we have fresh tomatoes.  I love tomatoes. Thanks...

Before & After: Thrift Store Shelf

Thrifted Shelf-Before

When I saw this little shelf at the thrift store I got really excited.  I love fun thrift store furniture but I do not like faux wood pressed board or anything brown for the most part.  So I painted it Pistachio.  It took about 2 cans of spray paint because I maybe should have sanded it better but I am happy with the result. A little paint really helps sometimes.

Mason Jar Lights

Some days I know I drive my husband crazy by emailing him links to so many pictures of home decor ideas, but we are new homeowners and that seems like appropriate justification. This isn't practical but I like it and I'm not really practical. Look Ben if we do this, everyone can spend the night. Update:  If you like this tent, you will love this blog.  Her boyfriend made this Christmas tent for her since their Christmas trip was canceled and they were snowed in.  Isn't that...

DIY Table Makeover or easy furniture project

Recently my husband allowed me to scrap all the stickers off this old table he has had forever.  I'm not sure why guys like to completely cover items with stickers. I used an electric drill to attach the mounting plates.  I don't think that power tools like me. We love our little yellow table.  It is amazing how much cuter this table is with...
