  • Dictionary page & chalkboard walls give the entryway a vintage look for about $20.

Book Page Entryway Walls

Our entryway had cheap, old, ugly paneling which made for a unpleasant entry into the house. Rather than tear it out and replace it, I covered the walls with vintage dictionary pages. See the before, during and after in the blog post.

I'm Feeling Aqua Blue

Aqua Blue....Turquoise....very similar colors....sometimes I think the color terms are interchangeable. I'm calling this makeover aqua blue. Sometimes I have small furniture pieces and ...»
lots of small things like frames and I plan to paint them all the same color. So I just have a fun few hours and paint all of them at once!! It's a real time saver to do it that way. I painted all these pieces in just a few hours in my carport.

Outdoor Kitchen

We got to start this project with a "clean" slate!! There was nothing but a concreate slab, so we didn't have to demo anything for once! We completed this project prior to our indoor ...»
kitchen, which may seem odd, but it was more affordable. We use this space ALL the time in the summer and even a few times throughout the winter.

Concrete Stain: Rust-oleum Concrete Kit (This was the biggest change in the look of the patio)

Kitchen Blocks: Menards

Counter Tops: We helped our contractor pour them, but he completed all the pre-work and the leveling of the tops. I would leave this to the pro's unless you are good with concrete work.

All the steps can parts and pieces used can be found on my blog :)

Painted Kitchen Cabinet Details

After posting my kitchen tour, many people have asked what paint I used on the cabinets! I'm so happy many of you liked them. I used Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint. I blogged about all of the details.

How to Paint Vintage Metal Chairs

I have had these chairs for years. They were old when I got them! I have painted them several times, but the paint just chips right off. This time, I took all of the right steps to make that paint hold on tight!

    paint before we repainted it several years ago. Then sprayed on a rust resistant product before the final color coats. I don't know if these chairs would stand up to sand blasting or not. Something to look into.

Painting: Can someone tell me the paint that glows in the dark on your planters?

It's a spray paint, it was on a post not long ago and now I can't find it. Thank you in advance.
