Well, regardless of whether or not your finished dresser will look like what you want - the way to get the stain color you want is: 1. strip/sand off all the old finish 2. buy and apply...

I was going to put a frame on a hinge over my thermostat, but in the midst of putting up a photo wall around it, I tried surrounding it with just an empty frame and I felt like it worked. Y...

I just explained my own schoolhouse creation at the end of this blog post...I really love the look and it cost me less than ten dollars to do.

We got bumped from our Delta flight and they gave us travel credits - and then we found tickets to Australia from SFO for $483 and snatched them up. The flights (for two) ended up costing us $21 d...

Lovely. What's the color in the living room? That;s the exact color I've been looking for now for ages for MY living room!

I bought plain green glass knobs from here, and they were about 1/4 the price of the ones from Anthropologie. If they don't have what you are looking for, I would just google the general idea of wh...
