Rustic Modern DIY and Design
We are going to be shaking the pecan trees this weekend….something new to me too. The past few years we have “shaken” the trees as a way to harvest the nuts.. I will have all the details and a video next week for you to see how it’s done. I have got the best ever…
A bed…a bed. A nice place to lay your head. Some are hard some are soft, BUT we all need sleep to a get a fresh start. The new year is all about fresh starts…. …if last year was not your year, then I am sure you are especially glad for that reset button. And,…
It snow here….yesterday. Anyone who lives in snow is probably sick and tired of it by now. We all stood in front of the giant window in the front room and oohed and ahhed at the white wonder that decided to grace us with it’s presence. We live in the desert and it snows once…
The other day I decided I wanted to run a couple quick errands… no big deal….right? A quick run to Home Depot for some project supplies, a stop at the craft store and maybe a few groceries…easy peasy… …so, I changed the baby’s bum, and her clothes, I had the toddler go potty, I quickly…
Sometimes I dream in DIYs….. …is that just a Shonee thing or are there others out there like me? Either way, can we still be friends? It usually happens at 3am and I’m in this weird sleep but awake state where I just want my brain to shut off and it won’t. The DIYs keep…
How is it New Year’s Eve already!? This year was full of so many fun and busy things that is sort just blew by for me. I hope you have some fun plans for this evening and enjoy yourself with loved ones, because spending time with them is what really matters. I am so excited…
We bought an old fixer upper a few years ago…it has been a challenge as well as very rewarding to bring her back to life. Remember a little while ago when we decided to enclose the carport and build a garage…it definitely was a large project but so worth the effort! Along with enclosing…
I hope you had a fabulous Christmas filled with gifts and loved ones and food. Gotta have yummy food. I have been taking a much needed break but I am so so excited for the new year and all that 2017 has to offer….it truly will be a great year, I can feel it. I…
One of my all time favorite books is called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It is so imaginative and I love the illustrations. I remember in 5th grade when I won a copy of the book. It was my precious… ….I took very good care of it. It has been living at my parents…
Do you remember my building woes….there have been many. I told myself that this will not beat me. I hate it when I cannot figure something out…it literally drives me crazy. I have not been able to build…I just couldn’t get it right. Maybe it’s my let’s-throw-it-together-real-fast-and-see-if-it-works personality. Or maybe it’s my don’t-care-if-it’s-perfect attitude….maybe it’s…
