Front Door (I only painted it three times!)

One day I decided to paint my door, I am not very good at documenting my crazy sporadic behavior, so I did not take a before picture. The original door was plain boring (boring to me!) dark brown. Brown is NOT my color. Not at all. I don't do tan, brown, beige (Ironically the outside of my house is tan, and the inside is all beige, I'm working on that!). I am more a gray, green, and blue girl.

How to- Paint Perfect Stripes

I started painting my home last month.... It began with one room, then another, then another... three rooms in one month may not sound like a lot, but things got really crazy and I started striping!!

DIY Entry Shelf

I needed a shelf. Not just any shelf, but a large shelf to fit a very specific area. I don't know if you're like me, but I can NEVER EVER EVER find what I'm looking for. Maybe I am too picky, or maybe I just envision things in my mind that don't exist. Whatever the problem is, it's not a problem I enjoy having! After trying to figure out what to do with this space, my sister convinced me to just BUILD a shelf. Build a shelf???? I don't own a saw, I can barely hammer nails in straight, and aside from Ikea furniture, I've never built anything out of wood in my life. Luckily I'm adventurous (or crazy) and I decided to go for it.
