Hey Toolbox Divas!!! How have you guys been? I feel like I’ve been gone for way too long. But I’m back and kicking off my latest room makeover. I’ve decided to take on the project of redoing my dining room. This has been on my list since the first day I moved in to my…
When I started working on my backyard it was an untamed chaotic mess filled with chicken wire and corn stalk. After weeks…months of pulling up plants and pavers and cinder blocks I could finally see some improvement. My backyard was beginning to resemble a backyard versus a farm. I had all these mismatched…
As I’m sitting here going through some pictures of my home in a photo album I’m drifting into a state of nostalgia, remembering the summer after I 1st purchased my house. That was a very interesting year, and an even more eventful spring and summer. (OK, this is where in the movies the scene cuts…
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 know where I left off I was trying to figure out how to organize my room and closet, revealing my Bedroom Secrets. And the fact of the matter…
I started with a list, an increasingly long list that grew as I looked around my house. “Where do I begin?” I asked myself. I quickly realized I needed to prioritize my list. My fear was starting a whole bunch of projects and not finishing any of them. A pet peeve of mine is walking…
“Home Sweet Home”, or I guess that’s how the saying goes. I finally had a house, and that made me elated after being stuck in homeowner limbo. I realized instantly going into this purchase that some serious changes needed to be made! Nobody wants to work all day, plugging away tirelessly at their 9-5 job…
