I purchased this little table for $5 during our neighbordhood yardsale. I posted this picture of it before saying it was in process, which was quite a while ago, but DIY does not always go as planned. It had definitely seen better days, but since it was so rough looking I thought it would be […]

Frog City
We have an egress window in our basement, which is the required emergency exit. Its not very pretty to look at, but it provides natural light so we didn’t want to hide it. We tried to dress up the window by adding blinds and curtains, and even went as far as putting pebble stones in […]
