An 80?s Bath Remodeled

from Cassity of Remodelaholic on May 25, 2013

I’m excited to share a bathroom remodel with you today that is a great example of how a little rearranging can get you the bathroom of your dreams. Our guest blogger’s neighbor had to work within the existing footprint of her home to update the master bathroom. We get used to seeing ginormous master bathrooms in glossy magazines, but a 5 piece bath isn’t a reality for all of us Read Full Article »

Color Me Summer!

from Cassity of Remodelaholic on May 23, 2013

We’ve been working almost non-stop on our backyard. (well I guess we stop for rain the last few days or so) BUT -we are putting in a patio! I should re-phrase that we are digging one out one stinkin’ wheelbarrow full at a time! YUCKY! The issue we are trying to decide on is a shade structure. I don’t want anything permanent that blocks daylight to my windows, since we are in a b Read Full Article »

Black and Tan and Tuxedo

from The Lettered Cottage of The Lettered Cottage on May 23, 2013

We’re headed to St. Louis today. That’s about the halfway point to where we’re going in Minnesota. I’m hoping our pets don’t give our house-sitters too much trouble while we’re gone. Something tells me everything will be just fine though. PS- Know any must-stop-for flea markets between southern Alabama and St. Louis? Sure would be fun to stretch our legs in Read Full Article »

Dapper little dude wear!

from Becca Dulgarian of Blue Cricket Design on May 23, 2013

I have to be honest…when I first found out I was having a little dude I got all scared! My pre-Gunner self was never very impressed with little boy clothes. In my mind I always thought boy clothes were Winnie the Pooh overalls and helicopter shirts. I never had to venture into the boys department so little did I know that little guy clothes were as cute as they were! I’ve made a comple Read Full Article »

Cottage Style Stuff

from The Lettered Cottage of The Lettered Cottage on May 22, 2013

It’s been a shuffle-y couple of months around here, but now that the wall paint is dry, we’ve started putting things back into place. There’s still a fireplace to paint (Simply White), and tile to (temporarily) cover up… …but things are definitely starting to feel more like us around here. I’ve had the shelf above (and below) for so long…but I never cou Read Full Article »

House Numbers Installed On A Stair Riser

from Cassity of Remodelaholic on May 22, 2013

We showed you here how wecolor washed our barn door, but I didn’t quite show you the rest of the story. So, I wanted to show that to you today. We improved the bottom stair tread and wanted to add house numbers to it, below the barn door. Now, this door comes off the stairs to the basement. While thestairsare carpeted, our living room floors are wood (wellactuallythey only look like wood). Read Full Article »

Ikea Hack: TARVA Drawer Dividers

from Kit Stansley of DIYdiva on May 21, 2013

I make no secret of the fact that most days I’d rather be standing on a 210 plank over twenty feet of open stairwell, sanding drywall dust off the ceiling directly into right eyeball than doing laundry. Which is weird, right? Because a.) drywall dust to the eyeball sucks, and b.) laundry isn’t really that hard. And since the farm consists of, uh, me (and a dozen animals that don’ Read Full Article »

We recently attended a family party and were in charge of bringing a dessert. So of course we opted for a classic Brownie but spruced it up with some crushed Oreos. Brownies are probably one of my very favorite desserts. I love how dense, rich and chocolately they are. Combine that with some Oreos to [...]The post Oreo Brownies Recipe appeared first on The Idea Room. Read Full Article »

Life is Hard. Work Harder.

from Kit Stansley of DIYdiva on May 20, 2013

It’s been a hard week around the farm. Quite a few of my “critical” projects– the donkey fence, cleaning out the barn, building a chicken run, mowing the back field– are at a tipping point, and just as I lowered my head to plow through these first few weeks of spring, something stopped me dead in my tracks. My grandpa had a stroke. My grandpa is by far the strongest m Read Full Article »
