A while ago I hinted that we were considering making a custom bar from IKEA kitchen cabinets. Last night we drove to IKEA after work and it didn't go as planned. Do you ever have those days where nothing seems to go right? That was last night. So instead of coming home with the cabinets to make a bar, we came home with an empty bag. At least the cat likes the empty IKEA bags.So we'll be spending some more time thinking through this project and our bar will look like this a bit longer. Sigh.I'm … [Read more...]

Why can't I be a big blog and get those?Instead, I relied on my trusty coupons from Michaels and ended up with my own little stash. Okay, so it wasn't free and didn't show up on my doorstep without ordering but I'm fine with that. Alright, alright, maybe I do want free … [Read more...]

old to new – midcentury cabinet
I'm loving my "new" piece of furniture!During my sanity break a couple of weeks ago, I picked up this little mid-century modern wine cabinet at a thrift store. The formica was beat up everywhere and it needed help but it was only $18 so I brought it home. I got the look from the hubby who thought I was insane when he unloaded it from the car. He said it was "interesting" and it was going to be a good piece for me to "practice" on. He walked away and I may or may not have stuck my tongue out at … [Read more...]
