Well, I feel like I have been talking about my screened porch reveal forever, but today is the day I finally share my finished screened porch. Let's take another look back at what the porch looked like a year ago. Last year I was unable to paint the floors, so for my daughters eighth grade graduation party last year, I resorted to this outdoor rug I found. But I was beyond thrilled when I could finally paint the floors. Yeah, I totally love my floors. This was a lot of work, but so worth it for sure! Next, I added my furniture pieces to the room, and that pop of color started showing up in my room. But my room was not complete. I needed something to keep the sun out of our eyes at certain times of the day, and also, I needed a little privacy at times too. We are not ... View Post
Building A Screen Porch The Beginning Stages
Last fall we started the beginning stages of building a screen porch. In our past homes we always had a patio,and rarely ever used it. When we moved into our present home I told my husband that I did not want a patio,I would rather wait and save up to build a screen porch. These photos are not very pretty,and it's the reason I rarely ever shared my backyard. Yes this is the back of our home,that little stoop was our porch for seven years!

Ah that is part of living in the midwest! When we started our research for a builder we had an idea of what we wanted. We wanted to build a room that we ... View Post

Kitchen Pantry Organizing Ideas
Kitchen Pantry Organizing Ideas My kitchen pantry is nothing to brag about. Recently I had a reader ask me to share ideas on how to organize a kitchen pantry after she read my article on my laundry room storage and organizing ideas. The problem is this is my kitchen pantry. Sorry the photo is a little grainy. As you can see it's very small, and I don't keep much in it because we have so many cabinets, it's not something I use to store most of our food.
