Merry Christmas from Restoration Redoux! I hope all of you are having a wonderful day! This year, with all of my big projects all due by Christmas Eve, I didn't get around to getting any Christmas cards sent out. Therefore, I thought I would share with you last year's Christmas card. Now trying to get a teenager and three dogs all looking at the camera at the same time was a bit challenging. One hundred, forty four camera clicks later, this was the winner. ... VIEW POST

Christmas Top 10
Since Christmas is literally right around the corner, I thought I would share my top ten favorite things about Christmas: 1. Christmas Music ... from Thanksgiving day to the last hour possible on Christmas day. Of course this makes Topher and the unnamed child insane, but they just have to suck it up. 2. Willams Sonoma Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate, with their fantastic marshmallows. This is my dessert each night around Christmas time. ... VIEW POST
Do I smell bacon?
When we were discussing Christmas traditions last week, I forgot to mention an important one of mine. Growing up, my next door neighbors were like surrogate grandparents to my brother and me. Both of my parents worked full time, and my brother and I would spend hours there. They were the original DIY'ers. They had huge gardens, June made her own clothes, and Cecil was an amazing wood worker. He would make amazing toy trains and little wooden dolls, and then June would sew their dresses and ...

I Hug My Daughter A Little Tighter Today …
As you all know Christmas is my favorite holiday. While I love all the decorations and fun traditions, the best part of this holiday is spending time with my family. While I am looking forward to our time together, I am also so very saddened for the people that lost loved ones at Sandy Hook Elementary last week. I can't imagine being one of those parents, waking up on Christmas morning with no child running down the hall to see what Santa has brought. To know that a child had been robbed of ... VIEW POST
Book Page Christmas Tree Tutorial
Happy Monday! Over the past few weeks, I've been working on some large furniture projects and I wanted a little break to keep my sanity in tact. I decided I needed a little more Christmas spirit, so I cranked up the Christmas music and made a tree out of old book pages. Let me warn you, it takes a bit of time: about 2 hours. If you are sitting watching Christmas movies by the fire, this is a fairly easy project -- as long as you keep away from the fire. ... VIEW POST
DIY cabinet chalkboard
Topher and I were out late last night at a Christmas party so I didn't have time for a long post. This one is short and sweet. Over the summer, I bought two plain-as-can-be kitchen cabinet doors at a church rummage sale for 50 cents. I wasn't sure what I planned to do with them, but it looked like a bargain, so I picked them up. Sorry ... I forgot to take a before picture, so here is a photo after I started painting. ...

Christmas Traditions
Well the countdown to Christmas is on! Just a few more shopping days left. The weather's getting colder, the stores are getting busier, and the parking lots are packed. I may have to brave the crowds one last time to get a few little details finished but other than that I am done. Topher and my unnamed child are getting a little weary of the non-stop Christmas music but they can deal with it because it makes me happy. As we were wrapping presents here the other night, we were talking ... VIEW POST
