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 MoreI could live here – could you?
File this post under “Things That Catch My Eye So I’m Going To Share It/Save It Here.” As usual, I just couldn’t help myself. Because I could totally live here. Exactly how it is. Black paint, cement walls and floors (if they’re heated, of course), giant windows, an amazing patio space, giant beds, built in bunks, a view to die for. We even love that...
Read MoreThe Big Reveal
Wow…have you missed me? If you’re reading this, I guess it means you might! I have been working my fanny off, but am able to spend a little more time blogging today, and I finally took all sorts of photos to share! So I have to say that I am LOVING our new set-up. I hope our pool table is enjoying his freezing cold new home in the garage, because I don’t think he can come...
Read MoreHow Efficient Is Your Home?
Have you ever wondered where those chilly drafts are coming from? If your windows are sealed tightly? How well your walls are insulated? Or if you have a moisture leak somewhere in your home? Maybe you should try having an Infrared Energy Audit done on your home. ‘What is an Infrared Energy Audit?’ you may ask…well, a qualified and trained professional (such as David,...
Read More{DIY} Septic Tank Box: Part 1
Yep. That’s what we started to build last weekend. When you live in Likely you have your own well for your water and your own septic tank. Ours is right there in our back yard, and it’s really not buried that deep. As you can see from the photos I took this weekend, we have two green tank lids that stick up right out of the dirt. They’re made of plastic and plastic +...
Read More{Color Therapy} She’s a Brick House
Okay, so I know that I promised to post pictures of our remaining new windows today, but I need to wait until tonight to take photos. I didn’t take any last night and I didn’t like how they turned out in the morning light, so I’ll post it tomorrow. Plus I can’t stop thinking about what I’m going to post about today instead!! In my blogroll you’ll see a...
Read MoreWatching grass grow…
Update: I’m linking this post to Julia’s Hooked on Fridays blog party at Hooked on Houses, and the Frugal Friday Linky Party at the Shabby Nest! Thanks, ladies!!!! We have finally gotten back to the backyard project — although the mountain of gravel is still there, ugh. We do have someone who is going to come get the rest, so hopefully they’ll come do that soon! ...
Read MoreToo Tired To Blog…
Okay, a little dramatic, but it was ridiculously hard work shoveling 7 tons of gravel around in our backyard last weekend! I’m just now getting the use of my forearms back. It’s a start to our ugly, ugly backyard, but now all we need to do is 1) get the rest of the gravel out of here (they sent way, way, way too much…grr…) – we’re being creative with...
Read More{Sneak Peek} Flower garden additions!
Okay, so I’m not photographing my whole “garden” for you because it looks a little sad…hopefully next year it will be more full! Plus I’m just getting started with this and I’m not a master gardener yet. So for now I took a few pics of my favorites…which are my favorites because they’re doing very well. Some are not!! My fault, though…I...
Read MoreAbout Me
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!
