A while back I created a set of sturdy and cute little shopping bags to take help reduce the number of plastic bags in our house. It was a bit of an adventure but they did turn out quite nicely, if I may say so myself. (see previous post here) However, I was afraid that …
Last summer I was poking around my local Re-Store and found a fantastic pile of used windows for $5 each! (If you are looking for used building materials, etc. try your local Re-Store, they are a great resource.) I really didn’t know what I would do with them but I grabbed 3 since I knew …

In an effort to continue adding a little dashes of bright color throughout my kitchen I created a collection of …
Ok, I know you can purchase a ready made rolling trash-can. (G reminded me of that quite often throughout this process since he was my designated helper for this one.) I just had a really specific idea in mind for what I wanted. I wanted something that would fit just about anywhere in the kitchen …

I will be taking a bit of a break for about a week so I thought I’d leave you with some lovely inspiration for your Christmas dinner table. With the weather forecast it seems that there will be quite a lot of white Christmases this year. Pictures are labeled left to right and top to …
Ok, I know this is a little different but hear me out. A while back it was pointed out to me that I had maybe overdone it a bit in my mission to de-bachelorize (totally a word, I’m sure of it). In his defense, my dear Hubby has never complained a bit. So, I thought …
Here’s a quick kitchen Spice-Up! Starting with a sweet little spice rack idea. I’ve been wanting one for a while. Sadly, I’ve been stashing my spices in a small box on the bottom shelf of my rolling “island” until I could figure something out. Well, when I was working on my magazine-rack project I worked …
