No good things go to waste Just like when Jim puts something together, I had leftover parts (har har). But what does one do with extra windows? Oh you don’t think I already had a plan? Of course…I have all the plans. So what DOES one do with this awesome old window? Paint it, ofContinue reading

A gardening wonderland

Just like when when I started buying greenhouse windows years ago, I may have starting buying decor about the same time. And it was finally time! Fill the greenhouse with all the things! I suppose we still needed to wrap up some small stuff. Like water. And walls. Easy peasy. All the walls Ok, justContinue reading

Every greenhouse needs a succulent chandelier

When we were putting the electrical into the greenhouse, my husband asked me if I wanted a hanging light. Um…yeah. But I don’t need electrical for it. I have another idea… Upcycling at its best So I looked for free or cheap chandeliers in the area and finally found someone willing to donate to myContinue reading

Even before we started building the house, I knew “we” needed to have a greenhouse somewhere on the property. At first I thought we could build it behind the well-house that was already on the property. It looked like the previous owner had planned to add another room. But after investigating, we realized that theContinue reading

And in with the new(ish)… We quickly realized that a lot of what fit at our old house in California didn’t really fit into the new house. Both size and style. What does that mean??? Shopping!!! I may or may not have started collecting things while living in the rental. To my defense, I onlyContinue reading

Shiplap!

We are big Fixer Upper fans and consider ourselves pretty much like Chip and Joanna. We could totally have our own show. So needless to say, yep…we are doing the shiplap thang. Well not the real shiplap thing. But the fake shiplap thing. Believe me…it’s a thing. Pinterest says so. And before we shiplap all theContinue reading

Vanity Redo

Because building a house isn’t enough work… Let’s make our own vanity for the powder room! We could have just gotten a simple pedestal sink…but where’s the challenge in that? Let’s do something completely different! Or something like Joanna and Chip would do! (I honestly don’t know why Jim still goes along with my crazyContinue reading
