Aimless Tangents

AKA, I finally finished the headboard that should have been done last week.  I’m thrilled with it! Before: After: I have been wanting a headboard for a very long time.  However, the Hubs and I own a Versa and a Maxima.  Granted I can get a lot of stuff in my hatchback Versa but a [...]

I’ve reached the point in the very slow makeover of the master bedroom that I’m starting to think about what to put on the walls.  I’ve got some things here already that I am intending to use and a few projects that I’m thinking of doing as well.  I thought I’d share what is being [...]

Does your paint tray look like this? Poor thing didn’t get cleaned and then got left outside for a while.  It is grimy and doesn’t want to come clean.  So what is a girl to do when she wants to paint Right Now but wouldn’t put the paint in something so grimy and grubby? Grocery [...]

Lots of projects going on in this neck of the woods, though precious few are finished and ready for photos. The walls in the bedroom are totally done; two coats everywhere.  Now I get to tape off the 5 (yes, really 5) doors that open into the bedroom, the windows, and the trim so I [...]

Yes, this project is still going on.  I work on it when I get the time and money.  I’m still painting, though closing in on having that finished; one or two more days and it will be done.  The Hubs and I both are really liking the wall color even though it isn’t what I [...]

I’m still slowly (very slowly) working on the master bedroom redo.  To that end there are several things that are always on my “Look For” list whenever I go into a thrift store.  Frames are definitely on that list. A few weeks ago I picked up these items:   The left frame is a nice [...]

AKA, I’m waffling.  Back when I first came up with the color scheme of the room it made sense to me.  The chair made sense.  Yes, it might be pink right now but it can be recovered.  So I bought a fabric that the husband and I agreed upon.  2 yards worth, at a cost [...]

The current nightstands that we are using in the bedroom are cheap little particle board shelves.  These to be specific: They aren’t bad, per say, but they are very much “college chic” and not the look I want for a grown up bedroom.  So I started keeping an eye out at the thrift stores.  I [...]

I recently made a decision to “grow up” our Master Bedroom.  Overall the furniture in our house is a mish-mash of cheap particle board pieces, hand me downs, and maybe a few quality pieces of furniture.  It has especially been bothering me that our bedroom has become a dumping ground for everything that doesn’t seem [...]
