Home Improvement Starts Here
Hey there, I am Cassity! Nice to virtually meet you. My casa es su ... entertainment!
Our blog is about DIY in its finest. We are obsessed with it and so are you, so while we're working and have nothing to show you of our own projects, we show off yours.
About us more specifically:
I love almost every creative avenue and like to have projects to keep me busy. When it comes to remodeling we do it on a tight budget. Try at tops $5,000 for our entire house.
Our motto is reduce, reuse, recycle, re-purpose, remodel (try saying that 5 times fast)! We try to use old things in creative ways and reuse our old building supplies in other projects.
I am a wife and mother first and foremost. My husband is a dream. He can do anything, and is cheerful about most anything I ask. He is a landscape architect, so we love to design together!
I am an Interior Designer, according to my bachelor's degree. I do not work in the field though. I help friends and fix up our houses, but that is all for now. The most important thing to me, is my family and I choose to stay at home. Luckily, we have been blessed with the abilities to use our resources wisely and I can stay home!
I love projects!! I LOVE PROJECTS! Let me shout it from the mountain tops! Can I get an amen?
Projects help to keep me fulfilled as a stay at home mom. I try to accomplish one thing a day. It could be put the junk away off the floor in my bedroom, or it could be rip out a wall I don't like.... you never know, you will just have to watch a see.

 Let’s play a game. When I say the words “kitchen backsplash”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you are like 99% of homeowners, then the first word or image that came to your mind was “tile.” There are literally zillions of options when it comes to designing tile backsplashes, so it’s no wonder we gravitate towards tile when we’re plannin

 Mirror are a wonderful way to add light and depth to your home. Beautiful mirrors often come with a hefty price tag, but these DIY mirrors save you some change by turning a plain mirror into a beautiful statement for your home.

 Not all of you have a Papa Murphy’s pizza place around and I am so sorry that for you if you don’t! I have to say it is BY FAR my favorite pizza place. It is a take and bake place and the Chicken Mediterranean De’lite pizza is sent from heaven. IT has completely converted me to thin crust pizza!
But going to a pizza place more than once a week can get expensive fast, so the oth

 Time to check out some more trends of 2013. Some of the hottest trends right now are getting cooked up in our kitchens, where color is a big deal. In some cases, it’s the absence of color, with gray cabinetry and walls moving to the forefront of kitchen design. In other cases, kitchens are taking on a rainbow of hues with bright pops of color. Colorful cabinetry is becoming more and more com

 Having great art on your walls really does make a difference when it comes to how you feel about your house! Believe me I know. For some reason in our first house Justin and I waited all 4 years to really try and put art up on the wall(we finally did it to stage for selling…boo). We were busy remodeling…. who would have guessed! But I can’t tell you what a difference it made for

 Whether I like it or not, I spend many hours a week in my laundry room, especially with the fun — and messy! — activities that warm weather brings. Having an organized laundry room means that I can, hopefully, spend less time doing the laundry, but I like to make my space beautiful, too, so that it can make the chore almost enjoyable. I will always prefer playing, but as I scrub grass

 You saw how bad our windows were yesterday, but I am here to wash that vile taste out of your mouth and show you how GREAT they look today! Basically 1000% better. And it isn’t just looks, it is totally function- they work so well! The best part is that the install was a dream. The install team hired from Home Depot that came to install the windows, went above AND beyond what they had to do

 One of the MAJOR problems with this house is the windows. The house is about 40 years old now and so are most of the windows. And they are single pane aluminum frame windows. That might explain to you just how well they insulate for both hot and cold, but in case you need a better explanation, let me show you what the windows often looked like on the inside in the morning after a cold night…

 Summer can get so busy — camping, gardening, and all the fun things to do! The last thing I want to do is miss out on the fun while in the kitchen. But I don’t want to give in to the summer fast food temptation, either. Instead, I like to try to plan ahead and make food that we can take with us, whether we are just outside and don’t want to come in or picnicking at the park. Here

 I have been working on Etta’s pink and navy bedroom SLOWLY but surely…
Keyword, slowly.
It has been a big project. When we moved in the space was an open common room or family room space that we built into a bedroom, then we had to re-insulate the walls, install drywall, mud and tape, install a new window (details on that next week I am SO excited about them!) install moldings, pain

At our house we love banana’s- in fact I have to keep them stocked up just like milk or my kids think it’s time to go to the store! BUT, every once in awhile… some of our banana’s get a little too ripe.
