Spray Paint Bathroom fixutures YES!!

In our old home in Texas we decided to spray paint the bathroom fixtures...so much cheaper and they turned out beautiful! I also sewed up some curtains to add some pizazz and we added wood trim around the mirror to give a framed look.

DIY Drop Cloth Curtains

I was looking for curtains to add to my room and was hoping to find something with a 'linen' feel. Drop cloth is somewhat 'linen' like so I tried my hand at creating my own curtains from drop cloth. And bonus, no sewing was involved!

Do you think builders/contractors benefit from getting a woman's perspective?

I was recently hired by some friends of ours to work alongside their builder in the reconstruction of their fire-destroyed home (no one was hurt!). The wife has entrusted me with the ...»
responsibility of being her "voice" when it comes to elements in the design that need a female's input and I think the builder and I make a great team as a result. So, what do you think? Is it important for a builder/contractor to have a woman's perspective in the process of building or remodeling a home? I'd love to hear from you! ~Vanessa

Bagsters-How Much is Too Little

My brother got a Bagster from the local Home Depot and I asked him how much he could fill it up. Not in terms of weight but in volume. He said they recommend filling it over the top.

Then I saw these Bagsters on top of a roof at a commercial project. If they can fill it this much then I guess we as homeowners can, too.

Any thoughts or tips on Bagsters?
