And the winner is……… Naomi & Sage Plaster and Disaster Naomi and Sage are the blogging duo behind Plaster & Disaster, where they share their (mis)adventures as first-time homeowners in our fixer-upper houses, without prior experience and with a hefty dose of other responsibilities (like full-time jobs).

OK April is coming to a close and all the entries are in. Let’s put it to a vote! This is out first EVER Cent-Sational Salvage Challenge and I’ve gotta say I was extremely impressed. Everyone did an amazing job and I can’t wait to see what they do next month. But for now lets…
This month I took on the THE “CENT-SATIONAL SALVAGE” CHALLENGE. In the challenge I’m tasked with transforming a common item found at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore center into something “cent-sational.” And I couldn’t spend more than $15. April’s featured building materials are kitchen utensils. Upcycling is a passion of mine and I had fun…
For those of you that have been reading my blog and following along, (Thank you!) you know the challenges I’ve been facing in the kitchen. My kitchen started out as this blue dungeon. I was stuck in a state of “Smurfdom.” I hated my kitchen. It lacked order; functionality, but most of all, it lacked appeal. Lets face it…It was ugly!…
I couldn’t make an Alphabet Blocks inspired Play Table without making matching seating. I wanted the seating to do double duty. Kids come with a lot of…toys. (What did you think I was going to say?)

Enough with the ambiguous weather pattern references, I’ve got a project that’s coming in hot and it’s going to rock you like a hurricane! Come on, it’s clever… A gift from me to you! Come on, it’s clever… You can stick…
So I finally did it…I just couldn’t take it anymore. It was painful…the walls…the blue tiled walls were closing in on me. I came home one day after work and I went out into my garage and that’s when it happened. I saw “Big Zeek” (yep…that’s right, my hammer has a dude’s name) laying out…
I know Winter is gone and we are moving full steam into spring. But I wanted to share with you this blanket ladder I made for two friend’s baby showers. OK, I don’t know what it is? Maybe its in the water, maybe its just where I am in life, or maybe it was…
Recently I met up with a couple of my fellow DIY/woodworking blogger friends and we discovered we all share the love. We love old things. Now some may refer to these “things” as trash or junk, but I simply say its vintage. Yes it may have been found on the side of the road or…
