I was watching someones Instagram Stories this weekend and she used the phrase “bandaid project” which basically means a little project that helps a room or situation for now until the larger project can be done. Well that is exactly what we have been doing to our kitchen for the last 7 years. Little bandaid …

Driftwood is my jam! If you’re an avid follower then you might already know this through my many driftwood projects… But this time I wanted to create something for the Holidays that didn’t really scream Christmas. So I came up with this adorable little tree wall decor that could really be a great piece through …
Fall lawn care is something we have been slacking on in recent years..well except getting rid of the obscene amount of leaves we have in our yard. But this Fall I needed to get in gear since I wanted to do all of this in the Spring, but you know, pandemic. So here I am …
Facebook Marketplace can be an awesome tool to sell your unwanted items, find items you need, and also even make money flipping items. I have been selling items on Ebay, Craigslist and Facebook Market Place for over 20 years. I am even the creator of our local yard sale group. The first one made in …
Our Cottage on Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes has been in our family for over 20 years…and so has most of the decor. So this summer I wanted make some upgrades DIY Style of course.

This was going to be the year when we tackled the outside/landscaping of our home. Then Covid hit and that pushed our plans, materials and all the things we needed to accomplish back until now. We have been slowly getting a few projects done now that materials are coming back and stores are opening up …
When I saw this piece pop up on Facebook Marketplace I knew I had to have it. Guess how much they listed it for? $25!!! What?! When I went to pick it up the woman said, “I think I priced it too low I had a crazy amount of people who wanted it” I’m just …
Kitchen cabinets are so versatile with what you can build with them. They are a great starting off point for so many projects and can be used for so many things! Not only that, but stock cabinets are inexpensive and you can find them even cheaper at places like your local Habitat ReStore, Facebook Marketplace …
STIHL’s GTA 26 Battery Garden Pruner is nothing like anything I’ve seen on the market. In fact, you won’t even be able to find one until January 2021, so consider this a little preview of something you will want to add to your list of garden tools. Our back yard consists of woods on a …
This wall at our lake cottage has never really been functional. The modem, sea glass and other lake treasures seem to get thrown on that too small of a console table. It was time to create built ins…but the easy way with upper stock kitchen cabinets! This wall was basically a blank slate and I …

When we moved into our home the kitchen didn’t have a proper island. It was a “bar” that looked like it belonged on a patio. I always wanted an actual island with storage that fit the rest of the kitchen but didn’t want to spend the money on something already built. After a few years …

The day we closed on our home 9 years ago, we were doing the final walkthrough and I did a double take at the mailbox. The mailbox was attached to a log. A literal log. The seller said “Sorry about the mailbox, the girl scouts came then backed into it.” Little did I know this …
When I saw this house shaped bookcase on the Facebook Marketplace I knew I could give it a great makeover. He wanted $50 I offered $25. He said no and I said no as well. Fast forward 2 weeks and he contacted me, told me he needed the room and I could have it for …
This Earth Day marks the 50th anniversary! Since 1970 the world has come together to call for better protections for our planet. Laws have been passed, trash has been picked up and recycled but there is so much more we can do to help our planet and our future generations. I wanted to share a …
There has been a wood beam in our dining room/living room which has bothered me since we moved in. Our inspector had said it’s probably there to cover a seam since our house is pre-fabricated. The color of the wood has always bothered me because it was too orange, but it was “okay” with our …

So I turned 40…I didn’t make it a huge deal like I planned but it turned out perfect. I had always thought that I wanted to go away, have a huge party, celebrate etc. But then it started coming near and I didn’t want that. I wanted my friends and family and to have a …
