this is 3 posts from last year combined into one. Yard sale season is in full swing and I thought it would be a perfect time to re-post. Plus…I’m having company this weekend. :) Be prepared for the longest post in blog history.. Yard Sale 101: Before the Sale Yard Sale, Garage Sale. Potato, pot-ah-to It's all the...

sourceThe hardest part is getting there, so here are a few tips for at the sale:* pick it up * * if you see something that you like, or even think you like, pick it up. You can always think about it and set it down later. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't and see someone else pick it up and then it will make you...

Yard Sale, Garage Sale. Potato, pot-ah-to It's all the same, right? Where do I begin? First of all, you have to go. I hear lots of, "I never find good things at yard sales."

It's officially here...yea! This week has flown with spring break~we've gotten some good cleaning in, with a few of these: "no one else's mom makes them clean on spring break!" "mom, it's supposed to be a break!", and my personal favorite, "the only reason parents have kids is so they can work for them!" ...

I promised we’d talk about price and what we did in the kitchen, so here we go! I loved the open-ness of the kitchen right into the family room. The cabinets were in great shape and had some nice features, they were just orange oak. Painting was the least expensive route. Do you remember how I got some quotes to have a...

Halla – loo – yer, hallalooyer! We’re wrapping this room up. Thanks for all of the suggestions and thoughts on the curtain post.     I really thought we would go with the blush from Target and I was dreading adding something to the bottom and I even tried ordering some blush ones from H&M Home that Jodi...
