This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. So somehow it is that time of year again. Crazy…Right? We are already talking Fall and Holiday Decor. I don’t know about you but, this is absolutely one of my favorite seasons to decorate. Now, Fall I got down…NO problem! Halloween…well that’s a different story. Just ask my kids, they are not…
Hey guys, just finished my fireplace makeover in my home. I went completely outside of my comfort zone while doing this transformation and followed my gut even though it sounded crazy and a little horrifying to most people. So surprising…a black wall in your home isn’t appealing to most? 😉 But, I get it! This transformation was so dramatic and yet so easy to achieve. I seriously…
Hey guys! Anyone super intimated by the thought of using concrete? I totally get that…I was beyond intimated just a few weeks ago and now it is turning into one of my favorite products to use for DIY-ing! Quikrete Concrete challenged anyone who is attending the Haven Conference (a DIY bloggers convention) to do a project using one bag or less of their concrete for the chance to win a 10,000 dollar sponsorship. If you don’t know it by now…I am always up for a challenge!
If the Home Depot asks the question, “Do you have a dream project?” Umm…yasssss!!! will be my answer every. single. time. That is the understatement of a lifetime. The real question is which dream project??? After being stationed all over the world, living in 8 different rentals/base housing for the last 15 years, I have a giant rolodex of dream projects just waiting to become…
Well, we are literally in the middle of our 9th move in 18 years or so. I feel like I should be an expert by now, but I actually learn something new each and every time the Army decides it is time for us to move to a new City or a new Country for that matter. This might, dare I say be our last move, at least that is what the husband is saying. I am not sure I quite believe that yet. Moving has opened my eyes to so much and I have enjoyed seeing the US and some of the World. I cannot even imagine living in one place for more then 3 years…Yikes!! My kids on the other hand are looking forward to keeping their friends and staying put for a while and I can’t blame them. So, Texas, hope you are ready for us to stay a while!!
So, I used to be seriously obsessed with clothes, purses and shoes…these days it’s ALL about the tools! I only recently became interested in tools and it seems like you can never have enough. Purchasing our first home has really motivated and inspired me to DIY anything and everything I can think of in our home.
Who wants their dream home, without having to pay an obscene price for it?? Umm…ME!! Don’t get me wrong, any project you do in your home is normally going to cost you something, obviously you still have to pay for all of your supplies and tools are an investment, but doing it yourself will definitely save you a TON of money. After so many projects, I have now come to realize that each and every project seems to need a new tool, but there are some really basic tools that I normally use for every single project. So, I thought I would share my favorite must have tools for DIY-ers.
