a lifestyle blog: wifing, momming, homeschooling, and DIY
Like I anticipated, not everything on my list is finished yet. I guess that just shows me that I need more than 6 weeks to do a room, depending on what projects are involved (like painting cabinets which take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. for this homeschooling mom).

OH my goodness...endless fun, inspiration, ideas, and a great way to get feedback and ask questions to thousands of other self-proclaimed DIY furniture painters!!! The facebook groups I'm obsessed with right now are:
Maybe you have a kitchen island and you love it and can't imagine life without it. I, however, HATED mine. Our house is a little quirky and I think the layout is odd. Nonetheless, it's our house and I love our house. God provided our house to us in an amazing way. But the kitchen… Continue reading I Ripped Out My Kitchen Island: Adventures in Minimalism
