I need to go to the gym. It's been months since I have been there, and my body is looking sad. I think I would enjoy a class but the last time I did, terrible, bad things happened. Once upon a time, I decided to take a kickboxing class. I had a Tae Bo video, and I frequently did that 20 minute video like a golden gloves champ, so how different could an organized class be? For starters ... this 60 minute class more than doubled my workout time. So, I walk into the class, and I notice ... VIEW POST

Feeling Blue (My Turquoise Chandelier )
Remember the turquoise chandelier redo that I did a few weeks ago? It sat around here for weeks and my hubby kept asking when I was going to list it for sale. I just couldn't decide what I wanted for it and I really just didn't want to let it go. So I didn't. It is now hanging in my kitchen! It was horrible for poor Topher to get that heavy thing up the ladder and hang it that high, but he was a trooper and did a great job. I love it. For everyone who has asked I the color I used ...

Dancing Psychic Doctors
Well, Fall is here and all of the networks have started their new TV lineups. I want to start watching some new ones, but I don't want to waste my time on sucky shows. I thought I would share with you some of my favorites, and you can see what my taste is and maybe you can share some of your favorites with me. 1. So You Think You Can Dance. I love this show! I want my body to do what some of these dancers can do. I also want my body to look like theirs do, but that's probably not going to ... VIEW POST
Sticky Situation
I would love to tell you that every project that I work on goes like clockwork. That I never have problems, and I always know what I'm doing. I could tell you that ... but that would make me a pants-on-fire, nose-growing liar. On almost every project I do, something goes wrong, and I have to try to figure out how to fix it. Whether the paint comes out clumpy, or the color isn't what I thought it would be, or the paint just won't stick, something always goes wonky. ... VIEW POST
Wallpaper Lined Chalkpainted Bookshelf
My client brought me this dingy, dirty bookshelf she found off of Craigslist. I cleaned it up, and made my own DIY ivory chalkpaint. This is the recipe I used. 1 1/2 cups of paint 1/2 cup hot water 1/2 cup plaster of paris Mix and let set 30 minutes. ... VIEW POST
Easy as Pie Pumpkins!
Cute, festive pumpkins sit on every porch in my neighborhood, and I was having a little pumpkin envy. I took care of that yesterday. I found two white pumpkins -- one was a little scarred up, but it was the best I could do since all the others were lopsided, not white, or warty (who wants a warty pumpkin?) . They seemed a bit boring, so I decided to spice them up a bit (get it? spicing up my pumpkins?). I dug out my leftover garage sale stickers and my daughter and I stuck them all over, ... VIEW POST
ALERT! ALERT!
OMG! Red Alert! Red Alert! We have caught the opossum!! After weeks of trying he (or I guess it could be a she) has been captured! Here is the part where I'm freaking out, it's been in the cage in my driveway all day! Topher only dragged the cage from the backyard to the front (so the dogs could go out without going insane when they saw it). He didn't have time to rehome it before work. I feel terrible that it hasn't had any food or water since midnight. So I called our local Animal ... VIEW POST
