- It's going to be no surprise I am fond of tackling projects regardless of my current skill set:) Part of the beauty of a 'can-do' attitude is learning as you go. Learning from both successes and mistakes. And this project was full of both! I have a significantly deeper appreciation for those who reupholster for a living. I had no illusions this would be an easy project. That said, man am I [...]

- Finding free stuff on the side of the road is pretty much the best thing ever for a person with a DIY habit. So when I spied this vintage dining room sideboard with a giant sign saying FREE, it was in the car in no time. I knew exactly what it would be transformed into. Our new TV unit. Up until the paint was dry on this sexy beast we used an old coffee table to hold the TV, and our co[...]

- Moving day into this house a little over six years ago was a hectic day. All moving days are hectic yes, but this one was frustratingly hectic. I was given the keys to the house (you know, which means it's yours...) drove an hour from our city house with a car loaded to the tits and poor Hermann-Maier on the front seat. Note: 110 pound dogs don't like the front seat. They don't fit. They have t[...]

- This weekend was both productive and decadent! It started with giving the old white wicker patio furniture new life. In knocking some items off "the list" last weekend, I may have added another item....painting the wicker furniture. I knew going from white to black would be drastic, and I was a actually a bit nervous, but four cans of spray paint later I love them!! I ended up having t[...]

- We made a list. A big, grown-up list. A list of things that need to get done around our house (or property). On the list are relatively minor tasks like; 'paint bathroom pipe', and major ones, like 'build new shed'. All require time, most require cash money. Oh the pains of being a grown-up! Being me, and generally sitting on the positive side of the fence, I saw some opportunities to paint, to [...]

- We used to have the funnest dining room chairs around. I gave them a full make over this weekend, and they are no longer fun. They are fabulous. But let’s start at the beginning. When we moved into this big house six years ago, we had four chairs. Four chairs are not enough for big house dinner parties. Also in the ‘not enough’ category were funds for new chairs…. Until DH called [...]

- It's the first love song I knew the words to:) You can't help but smile when you hear it (or sing it!). Ever since the bathroom got a new mirror I've wanted to add something to the wall behind it. I wanted something subtle because the room is quite long and narrow and I still want your eye to travel to the window, not freeze on a large picture or colourful piece of art. I also wanted s[...]

- Getting ready for work the other morning I looked around and realized that I had ugly things like hair products out .... and pretty things like costume jewellery, in drawers. So I decided I would fix it. What I needed was containers or dishes to help me display it. I picked up dishes and a two pack of giraffes at the dollar store and needed only glue (I used crazy glue) and spray paint to f[...]

- I've mentioned before that a little inspiration and a sunshine-y day (perfect for working outside) are all I need to get a fun DIY project done. This weekend that inspiration came in the form of an old window, some spray paint, and gingerbread latte. Remember the window I mentioned in my Para Paints #ParaBlogCrew application? Well, it and some old nutcrackers I got at a garage sale a few years[...]

- Remember the fabulous mirror I found on the side of the road last weekend? I knew as soon as I found it I had found my bathroom mirror, so I couldn't wait to get going. I finally found the time today, and I'm super pleased. This is the bathroom the way it was before I swapped the mirror out. I love the old claw foot tub with its gold claws, and of course the original 1898 hardwood floors.[...]
