Got Water Spots? I’ve Got a Magic Powder
We have 2 large (8 feet wide by 4 feet tall) windows in our living room. Nice, but they’ve actually always been an eyesore since we moved in a year and a half ago because the previous owner apparently ran her sprinkler and let it hit the house. Here in Likely, this causes horrible water spots on the windows and you couldn’t even see through the bottom half of those windows! ...

Read MoreAdventures in Saving the Planet
As you might know, I try very hard to do my part in saving the planet. I know I could be better at certain things…i.e. I rely on my car waaayy too much, purchase more organic food options, compost, buy more organic clothing, etc., but I think I do pretty well in other areas. For instance, I use eco-friendly and chemical-free cleaning options (99% of the time – sometimes you need...

Read More{DIY} Installing laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is a wondrous thing. It comes in hundreds of styles and colors, looks great (if you pick the right product and install it correctly), can take a beating, is an eco-friendly product to use (little to no waste in manufacturing and glueless nature), and can be very inexpensive to use throughout the home. When we moved into our house last July, we knew we had to immediately rip...

We do have someone who is going to come get the rest, so hopefully they’ll come do that soon! ...
Read MoreLike a Tall Drink of Water…
We were in the market for some new large drinking glasses (we have a bad habit of breaking them!) when we spotted these babies on a recent trip to Wal-Mart! When you live in Likely and get out of town, you have to go to Wal-Mart! We spotted them right as we were leaving the store so we snagged them up and so far they are working wonderfully. They’ve even survived an 8-month old pulling...

I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
