Remember when I made a free Christmas tree by collecting branches from a tree stand? Well, when I collected those branches I also snagged some Christmas tree rings and have had them laying around ever since. So when I saw that Sherry and Katie from Young House Love and Bower Power were doing their quarterly […]

Thrift Store Challenge, Oh Yeah!
I have to admit, when I read Young House Love’s blog post last Friday I got pretty giddy about this “thrift store challenge”. I mean seriously here, a challenge with a scavenger hunt in a thrift store?! Who said adults can’t have a scavenger hunt? There are so many thrift stores in the St. Petersburg area but […]
Put A Frame On It
Currently, I have a collection of frames hanging on the biggest wall in my house. I would size my gallery wall a medium but once I finish painting would like to rearrange it and add more frames that are collecting dust in my closet. With more frames, though, comes more things to put in frames. […]
Medicine Cabinet Makeover
I have to admit, I feel a bit strange talking about my bathroom, or as Philip dubbed it, the urination station, to the world wide web. But for the sake of organizing I will not only talk about my bathroom, but show you pictures of it too. There you go, now it can be awkward […]
Easy DIY Magnetic Knife Strip
As you may have seen here, I put together an easy DIY magnetic knife strip. I have always liked the idea of a knife strip like this one, but never wanted one out in the open in my cluttered kitchen. Then, it dawned on me to put it inside of my cabinet door. Unfortunately, the […]
A Messy Kitchen No More!

Hydrangeas and A Messy Kitchen
That’s right, I couldn’t think of a better title. For the second weekend of Apartment Therapy’s January Cure, I fetched me some pretty Hydrangeas. I was a little disappointed at the flower section at Publix, but after some hunting I found these beauties tucked away almost behind the florist counter. Oh yeah, I love […]
Hooking Up Some Hoodies
As part of the January Cure from Apartment Therapy, I am selecting a task from my list of things to get done this month. I went a bit over board and not only selected, but completed two. I know, I am a bit of a rebel sometimes. I decided to get something easy yet effective […]
Tulips for Apartment Therapy’s Cure
This past weekend’s assignment for Apartment Therapy’s January cure was to buy flowers, clean the floors and get together green cleaners. It was a nice easy task for the first weekend of the “cure”. The flower part of the task didn’t seem very important and I was ready and willing to opt out of it. […]
