China Hutch Project

On June 15, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Decor, DIY, Home Decor

The original dining room plan did not include a china hutch, but after some thorough “Craigslisting” to find to new dining chairs (new to me), the ones I chose so happened to come with a table and a hutch (all for $60, by the way….TOTAL steal!).  So enter “hutch,” which I welcomed with open arms, [...]

Yes You Can: Repurposed File Cabinets!

On June 9, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Decor, DIY, Home Decor

I can’t even remember how I stumbled upon these various makeovers, but I searched for more ideas because of this first transformation I saw on Design*Sponge (in the first two photos).  So, although the interior of my house is no where near complete, I have big dreams for the exterior and the less expensive it [...]

Don’t Throw Away that Ladder!

On June 2, 2010 · 1 Comment · In Decor, DIY, Home Decor

I am all about upcycling, and repurposing and I have this old wooden ladder that has seen better days.  My husband insists that it is totally still usable (he is 6’4″), but I suspect it will not hold on for much longer…..plus I already have another use for it :)  I will admit that it [...]
