Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! It was so beautiful here! I took the pups on walks, got shoes for the unnamed child to wear to Homecoming, went to visit my new little niece (who is ridiculously adorable), picked up an amazing old door off Craigslist, and finished a table. Topher (my hubby for new readers), on the other hand, went and ran the Tough Mudder. He's finished a number of "mud runs" before, but this is a 12 mile race full of insane obstacles (which I ...

Aqua Chevron Striped Table
BeJeweled Jack-O-Lantern Part 2
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I accomplished a lot of work on my projects, saw my new little niece, caught up on my last three episodes of SYTYCD, and even went out to dinner at Bonefish Grill for my birthday. I have a busy week planned knocking out a few projects, but I also get to spend to time shopping for the unnamed child to put together the rest of her accessories for Homecoming. We have the dress, so the big thing is out of the way, but now we are onto ... VIEW POST
Painted Hall Tree
Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend. Unfortunately, I received some bad news that put a dark cloud over mine.

Any prayers would be greatly appreciated. When I wasn't at the hospital, I was working on projects to distract myself. A few weeks ago, a friend was getting rid of this hall ... VIEW POST
Turquoise Ombre Painted Dresser
Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent mine painting. I did achieve a major accomplishment though -- I actually cleaned my paint studio! It was a total pit: pieces of sandpaper, tools, knobs, and drawer handles were everywhere. I organized things, and I even vacuumed it! Now I can actually see the floor, so, hopefully, it should be easier to work in there. Which is good since I am getting ready to move a giant dresser in for my next project. Sadly, school ...

Kickboxing Queen (And the Wallpaper Lined Bookshelf)
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
