About Me:
I'm a native of Chicago, IL but in the summer of 2008, I packed up a moving truck and relocated to the desert of Tucson, AZ. Then, in the winter of 2011, I began building a semi-custom home that I moved into the summer of 2012! My new house has twice the amount of space that my old condo did + it has a backyard and a garage to boot! More house means more furniture which means more money (that I don't have). So join me on my sweat equity journey as I turn my brand new, semi-custom house into a home without breaking the bank :)
Favorite area of home improvement:
I'm a sucker for furniture that's old and beat up. I like transforming the ugly into the pretty :)

Making Boxwood Wreaths for Christmas
When I couldn't find small, boxwood wreaths for Christmas, I bit the bullet and made my own. They were easy to do and I made 3 small wreaths for just $6. They now hang on my hutch in the kitchen. Instructions on my blog at the link provided.

Christmas Mantel
My neighbor was throwing out his old front door so I had him cut the top part off. With a little chalkboard paint and craft paint, I transformed the door top into an amazing chalkboard for my mantel!

CommentedIt's so cute! Did you make the wreath?
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas: {no sew} ombre ruffled Christmas tree skirt.
A family room makeover in progress deserves a new tree. Non traditional Christmas colors...hard to find a tree skirt that's not red and green. I whipped up a no-sew ruffled tree skirt and chose a teal ombre color scheme.
