Our sofa is probably 10 years old, or so. One of the legs broke a few years ago and thankfully at that time I was able to repair it. Earlier this week the same leg broke again! And unfortunately, it was unable to be repaired. We don’t have money to buy a new one right [...]
This weekend was good. We spent Saturday doing this. Click on picture to enlarge. Clearly that is not a real before picture. Because apparently I forgot to take one! So that was the closest picture I could find online that looked very similar to what the chair looked like before. The chair was free and [...]
H and I love drinking green tea juice. We used to buy it by the jug from the grocery store, but it cost about $4.00 per jug and we would go through about two a week. One day H had this brilliant idea to make our own! And it worked, and tastes really good. We [...]
One thing that has always bugged me, is the price of picture frames. I refuse to pay $15 to $20 for a good quality picture frame! Because of this, my walls have always lacked personal pictures. While I browse thrift stores, I always try to score some, but they’re always an older style, they are [...]
H and I finally finished our dresser! It took us 3 weeks to get it done, but here she is! BEFORE And AFTER!!! I got this dresser years and years ago from my grandfather. When we bought our condo, I wanted a new dresser because, well, I think it’s self-explanatory. It was ugly, and an [...]
Well, I did it! I made my first loaf of bread today. I used the Frugal Girl’s recipe. Boy, she makes it look easy! The recipe was quite simple, IF you have a good mixer! I just have a hand mixer, which is great for making cookies and what not. But it wasn’t so [...]
The only make up I wear is on my eyes. Eye shadow, liner and mascara, and I have never been able to find a remover that I liked. The ones I’ve tried have always been SO oily, that if I wanted to reapply my make up mid day, all the oils would make it impossible [...]
Today is going great. We were up at 7am and done grocery shopping at home by 9am! There was hardly anybody at the store, which was really nice. We finished the side table last night. It looks really great! Here are the pictures. Before! After! I am very pleased with the results. Next we’re doing [...]
H’s birthday was a lot of fun. We went to Home Depot and picked up a sander. Went out for a nice dinner, and planned on going to the movies as well. By 7:00pm we were exhausted. We’re still working the 5:00am shift, so by Thursday/Friday were beat. We decided to call it at night [...]
Woo! Finally! This took a lot longer than anticipated, but she’s done! When H and i first moved in together, over a year ago, he brought his childhood bookshelf along. I resented the thing! It was old and UGLY!. Being that it was the only bookshelf we had, i lived with it. I wanted to [...]
