  • Updated Review on Whether Chip Fix Repair Kit Works

    Chip Fix Review Update

    October 18, 2018 /

    How Our Bathroom Sink Repair is Holding Up I posted a few months ago that I was testing out Homax’s Porcelain Chip Fix on our bathroom sink. We had 3 very small chips that you can’t hardly capture on camera, but they were more obvious in real life. I applied it twice since the first time I didn’t wait very long to use the sink and it was washed away. The second time around, though, we waited 4 days to use it and about 2 weeks to clean it. That’s over and beyond what the directions call for.

    How to Install a Light Fixture without Wiring I mentioned in my last post on our kids’ room update, that I’d be back with a how-to post on installing their sweet wall sconces above their beds. The steps I took are specific to the fixture we used, but maybe a step in the process will work for you and inspire your creative side!

    Shared Kids Room Updates 2018

    A Few Changes in Our Kids’ Shared Room I shared several months ago that we were going to make a few changes to Mary Helen’s nursery to make it more dude-friendly for Gus since he now resides in there as well. Between updating our bathroom and dining room at the same time, I just now got around to completing those changes.

Creating a simple fabric-covered valance to go over a window is an easy way to add warmth and style to any space! Materials

    Small Dining Room Updates 2018

    September 24, 2018 /

    Quick, Updated Tour of Our Dining Room Ever since I added trim around our cased openings and board and batten in our dining room, the walls in there have been blank. I was just at a lost as to what to put in there that all worked together. So a little over a month ago, I posted on my Instagram stories asking for some help decorating my dining room. (You can still check them out in my highlights.) And boy did y’all have some great suggestions!

    How Not to Refinish Your Dining Table

    September 17, 2018 /

    How I Refinished Our Dining Table: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly I’ll warn you. This doesn’t end the way I wanted, but I think it’s a story and how-to worth sharing. Learn from my mistakes. How It Began It all started innocently enough. I love the look of naturally-stained dining tables with painted legs. And since our painted dining table top was looking a little rough, I thought I’d give it a go! We started by painstakingly sanding ALL of the paint off. (*Spoiler-Much to my husband’s chagrin, this would prove fruitless in the end.) Once the paint was removed, the tabletop was still darker than I wanted.

    DIY Gates for Deck Stairs

    August 22, 2018 /

    How to Build Gates for a Wood Deck If you have little ones roaming around, you know the feeling when you see them head towards the stairs! For inside stairs you can buy a pre-made gate in a color that suits your house. But what do you do about outdoor stairs like those on a deck? You build some yourself! Materials I took this picture with every intention of building these gates with some leftover wood I had on hand, but that changed half way through the project. (And yes, my old, blue Ryobi saw is still going strong!)

    Curb Appeal Update 2018

    August 17, 2018 /

    How Our Yard is Looking One Year After Updates About a year ago I shared how to make vinyl shutters look brand new. It was supposed to be a series of ‘curb appeal’ posts about small things we did in our front yard. But best laid plans…? Old Plants One of those small things was updating the plants in the front beds. We originally planted gardenias there. And slowly over the 6 years they were there, they lost their leaves and didn’t look very healthy. After treating them for bugs and fertilizing them, I did a little research and learned that afternoon sun is basically just bad for gardenias. Hmm..that’s…

    Cherry-Picked: AcuRite Rain Gauge

    August 13, 2018 /

    My Favorite Wireless Rain Gauge? You might laugh when I say I am not a weather nerd. Yet here I am confessing my love for a rain gauge!* But it’s all because what I am a total nerd about is my yard. And everyone knows that you need water to make your grass and plants grow. I’ve always had some kind of rain gauge. Until now it was always one of those plastic tubes that can hold about 5 inches at a time. I’d check it after a storm, dump it out, and loosely keep track of how much rain we’d get throughout the week. My goal is an inch a…
