Building Life Together One DIY at a Time
This is a quick one here that I meant to share weeeeeeks ago. Yup, it's a super easy YHL Book project for you. Buy the good stuff. At least once. Then refill if you want but keep the pretty bottles. At Christmastime, Target sold these cute gift packages of Caldera hand soap and lotion. They… Continue reading Buy the Good Stuff
Raise your hand if you're a Target fan. Yes, a room full of people who appear to want to high-five me. Excellent. Then you'll know how this goes. So, I found myself running in to my local Target for a 'rare' (so, only my 3rd stop that week) trip to peruse the latest decor and… Continue reading A Pillar of Inspiration from Target
So you know how it goes. You're scrollin' on down....down down down.... through your pinterest searches and then WHAM you get hit with inspiration. Mine came from this: I mean, GORG right? I saw it and was instantly getting that angel chorus sound effect in my head. You know the one. Fortunately, I had some… Continue reading A Quick Bathroom Pop
So, normally, DC would be an absolute ZOO now, blanketed in tourist in town for the Cherry Blossoms. Mother nature seems to have had other plans, and instead we're under a winter weather advisory. Thanks for nothing, Phil. So since the cherry trees are NOT blossoming just yet, I turned to my local craft store… Continue reading Cherry Pink Spring Mantle

While on one of her near-daily trips to Target, Beth sent me this: Oh boy. Here goes. So this project seemed to require a thicker block of wood than anything I had laying around. A fortuitous trip to the ReStore allowed me to pick up a ~4 foot long piece of hardwood of some sort. … Continue reading A Little Woodworking JOY
One of the drawbacks of long distance is not always getting to be together on special days. Fortunately I thought ahead to be sure he'd have his birthday presents, even if I couldn't be there the day of. AND it gave me the prefect opportunity to use this awesome faux bois wrapping paper I got… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Bill!
So, it has officially been Fall for about a week now. I've given in and enjoyed my first Pumpkin Spice Latte (Free with my living social coupon after 3 friends bought the deal from my link), and it was just as wonderful as I remembered it to be. Which means now it is finally time… Continue reading A Little Fall Decorating (And shameless deal bragging!)
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?
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.
