make a faux flowering tree

Dead Tree + Fake Flower Awesomeness

. Pottery Barn had some beautiful blooming branches in their spring catalog. I love how they look, but dang...they're expensive! If I lived somewhere else I could have gone outside, snipped some perfect branches, thrown them in a vase and called it a day, but I live in south Texas and where trees consist mostly of scraggly cedar bushes. While looking online for a cheaper version if the PB branches, an idea started to form. I planted a live oak in the backyard a little while back and it totally …

Guest Room Before and After

If You Give a Girl New Appliances, She’s Going to Want a Kitchen Renovation…

This Mothers Day I told my husband exactly what I wanted.... a dishwasher. It wasn't a suggestion, I was going to get my dishwasher. New, used, whatever...as long as it worked. We have been married seven years and have never had a (working) dishwasher. He (gasp!) said I could get a new one, a stainless steel one to match the future other appliances we wanted. . So I started my research...consumer reports, checking websites for reviews, scouring the web for the cheapest price. We don't take …

curb appeal matters

June 21, 2011

Curb Appeal

Our house has zero curb appeal. Zero, zilch, none... it pretty much looks like an abandon house surrounded by a gravel pit. Here is a pic from the MLS back in 2008 as proof that I am telling the truth... Whomever built this house basically dumped white, dusty, limestone gravel over nearly half of our half acre plot. Why, I don't know. Probably laziness or a lack of funds (there were a lot of other corners cut in the house building process. But that's another post.) Anyway, the Husband and …

how to make bay window curtain rods

DIY Bay Window Curtain Rod & Back Tab Curtains

Bay windows, though beautiful, can be a problem when it comes to adding window treatments. The main problem is that hardware can be crazy expensive, if you can even find any to work for your particular window. But I found a way to my windows go from the bare before to the much better after for only $100 (including the curtains!).     .   Here is what you will need to make the bay window hardware -   Materials Electrical conduit (one for each window …

laundry room before and after

Laundry Room Before and After

I love (LOVE!) before and after pictures.  Our laundry room is the only room that is pretty much complete and I feel good about posting an 'after' picture. First, the before...   The first thing to go was that awful paint color. I painted it a muted green, same as in our living room and guest/kids bath. Next, the cabinets. This isn't our forever house so everything has to be done as cheaply as possible...Which means no new cabinets. I wanted them to look custom and unique so I painted …

Our Pink Nightmare

My husband and I recently bought our first house. Besides the usual 3 bed/2bath list of wants, a had two biggies on the list. 1) I do not want to be able to see into my neighbors window from inside mine. In fact, I don't really want to be able to see my neighbors house at all. 2) I want the house to need some work. As a former Realtor I can assure that is an odd statement. A surprising number of my clients didn't even want to have to change the interior pant color. That's nuts! I wanted my house …

DIY blog

February 13, 2011

The First Post

The plan is to make this blog about all things domestic. Cooking, cleaning, organization, home decorating....except that I'm not that great at cooking.  And cleaning is something I have no room to give advice on. I'm okay at organization; I like organizing things but have a hard time keeping them that way.  Home decorating...now that I can do. Decorating on a budget is the best kind, the less you have to spend the better. That kind of decorating requires creativity and leads to a home that …
