Front Porch Makeover

One of the things about this house that I love/hate most is the large wrap around porch on the front of the house. The Front Porch Makeover repair of the tongue and groove floor has been an on going project for 2 solid years. We replaced, repaired and pieced boards in five foot sections at a time. I compare it to working in a coal mine, because there was so much dust, dirt and yes stuff that ... Read More about Front Porch Makeover

This question has come from ... Read More about Hey, Jude Painted Art, a Dedication

They are low in calories and high in ... Read More about Plentiful Peppers

I have been swooning over these two light fixtures from Poshtots for months however, the price tags were equal to the budget for Jude's entire room. We saved a lot of money by using a 5 dollar night stand, Customizing our Own Wall Stencil and turning Jude's crib into an Upholstered Headboard . Even still I couldn't justify splurging on these beauties. What's a girl to do when she falls ... Read More about Drum Light DIY
