While on an adventure to a Target we don't typically frequent North of Pittsburgh, we came across a 'legit' looking Goodwill. It was previously an Ekerd and took advantage of what was the drive through pharmacy and instead allowed you to drive up and donate. Well we couldn't pass that up! And boy was I… Continue reading WEEKEND SCORE – Goodwill Meets Target?

Spooky Mod Podge Candles
OhModgeGod! Yes, I'm making it happen, and no Mean Girl will stop me. I saw this post on CraftyScrappyHappy where she upcycled a Bath and Body Works candle by screen printing a pretty lace pattern on it. They came out beautiful and they inspired me to try my own version, only I don't have the… Continue reading Spooky Mod Podge Candles

Check it out, it’s got Cup Holders! – A Tight corner Nightstand Fix
The layout of our bedroom is a bit too narrow for a nightstand on either side. We had a black shelf that Beth scored on clearance for $3 at Target that was already in place. It was mounted on a black painted 2x1 that was screwed into studs on the wall (because, surprise, the hanger… Continue reading Check it out, it’s got Cup Holders! – A Tight corner Nightstand Fix

Olive Ewe ~ Inexpensive Art
You may have notice a bit of artwork in our RASTafari reveal. Well, here's the quick tale of a post-it note from the heart. You see, the obvious drawback of living in two different places is that Bill and I don't get to see each other nearly as much as we wish we could. To… Continue reading Olive Ewe ~ Inexpensive Art

If the Door is a knockin’ ~ A DIY Headboard
If there was one thing lacking in Bill's collection of functional furniture, it was a sense of cohesion. Just take a look at his apartment when I met him in DC - at least his bed was on a frame off the floor. We've solved the nightstand dilemma with a fancy Ikea Hack, but the… Continue reading If the Door is a knockin’ ~ A DIY Headboard

What do You See in the Sawdust on the Floor?
While making some final cuts and finishing touches on Tuesday's project reveal, we came across this face on the driveway after using the miter saw. What do you see? Can't wait to share with you our biggest project yet! We're immensely proud! Stop by Tuesday morning to see! ~ Beth

Things Baked in Mini-Muffin Pans Make Me Happy ~ A Ham and Cheese Quinoa Review
My gleeful love of baking anything in a mini-muffin pan was born out of a pin I found from Iowa Girl Eats for Mini Cinnamon Rolls. I made a batch for Christmas morning breakfast last year and they were a HUGE hit. But cinnamon rolls aren't exactly easy on a girl's figure. Apparently this crazy… Continue reading Things Baked in Mini-Muffin Pans Make Me Happy ~ A Ham and Cheese Quinoa Review

Our RASTafari Adventure – Or, Our first DIY Project
So, Ikea. We love them. Basically when we need a cheap date night out in Pittsburgh, it involves dollar ice cream cones and Swedish meatballs. Window shopping or under-$20 spending is usually the name of the game when we're there. We also use Ikea Hackers as a great inspiration and, as most in the DIY… Continue reading Our RASTafari Adventure – Or, Our first DIY Project

Weekend SCORE – A curvy beauty!
While visiting my parents this weekend to celebrate my Dad's birthday, I did a little 'shopping' through some old family furniture stashed in the basement. And somehow I found this gem! We have this spot in the Pittsburgh apartment next to the kitchen doorway where the intercom is, and its the perfect place for a… Continue reading Weekend SCORE – A curvy beauty!

Z Gallerie Inspired Picture Frame
Ok, I'll admit it, I may be a bit obsessed with Chevron print. And I've been dying to bring it off my Pinterest boards and into my life. But it's so bold and wonderful I decided to start small by dressing up my drab gray cubicle at work with a picture frame. I originally fell… Continue reading Z Gallerie Inspired Picture Frame

DIY Roots
I sort of grew up in a DIY world without really knowing it. My first 'big girl bed' was a find my parents made and lovingly refinished in a beautiful wood stain. The headboard apparently had been painted and my Dad stripped it to find delicate inlay work that he carefully preserved. My Dad would… Continue reading DIY Roots
