life, kind-design life … Many Updates A few months back, I did a bunch of updates around the house, but the updates never made it to this blog. I am finally writing the posts, and I want to let everyone know which posts are new. I thought there were only…
beading, crafting, life, organizing, kind-design beading … Bead Tackle Box One of my January goals is to start making and selling necklaces on Etsy. With all new ventures, there is start-up involved. My start-up involved: beads, wire, and a way to organized everything. I purchased new materials and made 3 new necklaces to list…
childFriendly, crafting, life, projects, kind-design childFriendly … Child-Friendly Ornaments This year for Christmas I was planning on making my friend’s children pillow case covers with their favorite things right now, but ended up running out of time. So, I was looking around Michael’s Craft Store for some inspiration and something I…
crafting, life, livingroom, organizing, scrapbooking, kind-design crafting … Scrapbook Center Revised After a few months, I finally got back to organizing my scrapbook station in the living room. I was able to remove the green canvas bins like I wanted. I found some pink plastic containers and little glass bottles in my container bin in…
bathroom, life, kind-design bathroom … Bath Faucet Install My dad and I installed a much needed new faucet in my master bathroom. The old one was leaking and while it wasn’t too outdated, I wanted a new look to go with the rest of the bathroom’s new look that will…
kitchen, life, kind-design kitchen … Kitchen Faucet Install My dad and I installed a new faucet in the kitchen. My back always got sore when I washed dishes and I felt like it was because our faucet was too low and close to the sink. The faucet was high enough to fill…
attic, life, organizing, kind-design attic … Organizing the Attic The attic has always been a problem area. There is so much I would like to store up there but the area is so narrow that I have to make sure everything stays close to the sides. If more than just the middle had…
art, life, livingroom, kind-design art … Frame of Mind Sometimes just a change of a frame on a piece of art makes it look completely different. I have a set of 4 seasonal fairy prints by fantasy artist David Delamare. I really didn’t like the gold frames, so after searching, I found…
life, organizing, products, storage, kind-design life … Even More Space Bags Once I proved to myself that the Space Bags did so well organizing the attic, I waited until the following month to get more. And when I did, I went through my jackets, sweaters, and small rugs to fill more space bags. Lots of…
bathroom, life, lighting, kind-design bathroom … Bathroom Vanity Light For a while now, about 7 years, I have had the same light in the main bathroom off the 2nd floor hallway. It was originally with the light facing down, but I made a frame for the mirror and then the light didn’t…
bedroom, color, IKEA, life, kind-design bedroom … From Blah to Bold to Calm Guest Bedroom Phase 1 : Guest Bedroom Phase 2 : Guest Bedroom Phase 3 From blah to bold to calm, this bedroom is like a chameleon. This room started out and remained a guestroom for quite a while until recently when it became more of a…
crafting, life, organizing, kind-design crafting … Organizing Ribbon I saw a post by Christy (ColumbiaLily) where she organized all of her ribbon. It inspired me to get mine together. I couldn’t find the zip-top baggies but I did find some self-sealing ones at Joann that worked just fine. I can reuse…
kitchen, life, projects, kind-design kitchen … Kitchen Drawer Mod We have these 2 drawers in our kitchen that are in the corner of our cabinets. You can’t open them up at the same time due to them being at a right angle to each other. This never used to be a problem…
crafting, life, livingroom, organizing, scrapbooking, kind-design crafting … Scrapbook Center So I can be in the same room as my husband when I scrapbook (while I watch him play video games or while he does his own thing on his computer), I have my scrapbook stuff in the living room. Until it got organized…
kitchen, life, organizing, projects, kind-design kitchen … Tip-out Tray One of the nicest “drawers” in the kitchen is the tip-out tray. They are those little trays that fit in that small space right in front of the sink. I searched to see what I could find but wasn’t sure what to call…
life, lighting, livingroom, kind-design life … Living Room Lighting It was time for some new lighting in the living room. The lights we had were really nice still, but I wanted to use them in one of the bedroom upstairs, so I researched to see what I liked and then see if I…
kitchen, life, projects, kind-design kitchen … Lamp Install I have been wanting to do something with the pot lights over our kitchen peninsula, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them. While looking at the Lowe’s circular for this week, I saw conversion kits that fit in…
life, organizing, projects, kind-design life … More Jumbo Space Bags This week’s project involves more Space Bags. On Sunday, I purchased more space bags like I hoped to last week. On Monday, I condensed more items in the attic – sheets and towels this time. I am definitely making progress on the attic – I…
life, organizing, projects, kind-design life … Jumbo Space Bags My weekly projects have spread into the weekend for once. I have to share these “new to me” huge space bags. They are awesome! I can fit so much in them and plan on buying many more for other items. The first thing I…
bedroom, closet, house, life, organizing, projects, kind-design bedroom … Closet Semi-Redesign This week’s project is the master bedroom closet. When your “workplace” is your home, there are always things you can find to keep up “continuous improvement”. One of the places I am always most critical of is the master bedroom closet. It has…
color, decor, home, house, life, products, kind-design color … Dots I was watching an episode of The Stagers on HGTV and I saw the coolest wall decor. A whimsical way to update the look of a room – minimal cost and reusable. The product is called DottiLicious by WallCandy Arts and can be found multiple…
art, crafting, life, projects, scrapbooking, kind-design art … Making Cards I needed to make a thank you card to my aunt for my birthday present AND I needed to use my new scrapbooking tool – the Sweet Heart Maker, so I punched out some hearts in pink, red, and purple and got out a sheet…
art, life, scrapbooking, kind-design art … 25 Random Things About Me Since my friend Carla wrote down her Random Things and I have had some requests on Facebook for mine, I decided to list my Random Things. I was just going to do 20 like Carla when I saw that on Facebook they are doing…
life, kind-environment life … Blogging Anniversary This is the One Year Anniversary of my first blog post. It’s been nice to be able to share my views, thoughts, and information over the last year. The site has changed a lot in look and the name changed too. Also, I…
