Don’t let the image above scare you away! This is a “good news” post… my first project is complete! It was fairly small, but still an item I can cross off of my checklist! This first looming project that needed to be finished was a “re-vamping” of an earlier project: my homemade over-sized doggie bed
What a beautiful flower I received from one of my piano students at our recital last Sunday! I just had to share.
A new year always brings resolutions; how are you going to make your live better this year, seriously this time. This new year brought a lonnnng to-do list for me. 2010 is already set to be a big year in this household; a long vacation in the spring, a wedding in the fall, a honeymoon in the winter, and TONS of planning in between!

I know how expensive doggie beds (especially for his size!) can be so I decided to try my hand at coming up with a cheaper yet still functional solution. Read my step by step instructions after the jump!
Oh what a can (or 6) can do to a home for a pretty affordable price!
My fiance and I bought our first townhouse fully equipped with white walls in every room upstairs. Both of us, having lived in white-walled rented spaces for years, were ready for some color! Our house is flooded with amazing sunlight throughout the day so we decided to go with a vibrant color palate that could soak in that sun. After gathering countless color swatches and spending hours pacing in the paint aisle at our local hardware store, we came up with this…
