Tweet! I have come to the realization that there are two kinds of people in this world. The painters of wood. And the haters of the painters of wood.

Tweet! As most of you know, I am a frequent visitor to the Habitat For Humanity Restore. On a recent visit I found this single green shutter for $1.50. I didn’t know what I was going to do with it, but it managed to come home with me. I am afraid that happens a lot! [...]

Tweet! Does anyone else out there have a kitchen that is stuck in the 90′s? Please tell me yes so I know I’m not alone! My kitchen is pretty dated, and up until a couple of weeks ago, it even had a flowered wallpaper border. Sorry if I made you throw up.. I desperately want [...]
