22 Dec Old Door Upcycled to Wine Rack I've seen a lot of door upcycles, but I've never seen one like this before. I wish I could claim credit for the idea, but i bought this at a garage sale for $6 with the holes already drilled. My husband told me I wasn't allowed to buy anymore doors, but when I found this clever idea I couldn't resist. When I brought it home I told him it wasn't a door - It was a wine rack that looked suspiciously like a door - she just needed some sprucing up because plain white just wasn't doing it for me.

20 Dec Gates are finally done!!! November was a rough month in our house - all four of us (me, Mr B. and our girls) were on antibiotics for various infections. It took me from mid-November til mid-December to paint our bedroom. I picked a paint color called "Aqua Gray" from the Behr Neutrals collection this summer but was always busy with one project or another. Once I started painted I had to take two weeks off while I was sick. But finally I got it done. Then it was time to ask Mr. B to help me hang the gates over

14 Oct "Mommy I want to help you paint" Most of my projects are done during the day while my kiddos play nearby. This often leads to my 3 year old asking "Mommy can I help you with your project?" Today it was letting go of some control and let her paint the 2nd coat on a chair (and quickly following behind her to brush out any glops and drips). Sometimes I have to find a project that won't make me crazy and let her do something special with me so she doesn't feel ignored in favor of my latest garage sale find. Thanks to
