About Me:

grandmother 3 sweet girls 3 yrs old and 1 yr old. Many friends of mine are under 8. Love to make my home fun, happy and special for the kids. Want the kids to have good memories.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Bought dream home. Electric system had to be replaced, found puddle in bathroom and plumber found 5 walls filled with mold. :( Every wall, ceiling has some sort of damage and insurance laughed at us when we tried to make claim - make sure you ask for mold insurance!! We live in drought area yet stil happened. House is old and needs love but also needs a ton of money. sigh... i'm not the only one in this boat!

  • The framework was worked out so the desk had productive space underneath for the chair and rolling files.

  • Naturally a little bit of repurposing had to come into play somewhere. :)

water pump

I use this to water my plants. My husband hooked it up to the condensation line of the airconditioner. I have plenty of water in the hot summer to water most of my plants in the front yard. I think he is pretty smart.

3 times the charm! Bathroom gets a makeover

It took me three tries to get it right, but I finally found a look that I love even though I had to keep the tiles I hate! Now it's a soothing, spa-like space and I don't mind the tiles at all anymore!

  • Funnel Planter with red Lantana. 1

Add vertical interest to a flower border with a funnel and a shovel or broom handle.

This handle was actually broken but worked well to elevate the funnel. Check out my blog post: http://organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com/2...

My shabby Bench

I was inspired by a photo of an old parsons bench. I loved the girly curves and shabbiness so I attempted to replicate it. Here is my version..
