What do you do when you want to do too much?

4/30/2014

Y'all, I'm going to be honest. I just don't know what to do. :/

I want to do too much. When I try to make plans for this blog and for figuring out how to make money from home, I just have too many ideas. And I love them all!

And, I just don't know what to do... So, today I'm asking y'all....

What do you do when you want to do too much? What do you do when all of your ideas seem fun and exciting and you'd just love them? How do you figure it out?

Leave me some love in the comments below! Thanks, y'all!

Staircase Before & After

Hey y'all!

I am thrilled. THRILLED. to share our staircase before and after pictures today!!!

Unlike most normal people, we spent our Easter holiday finishing up our stairs! And I am so, so glad that we did!

Check it out!

First, it looked like this....

Yuck. 10 year old, somewhat pinkish colored carpet. And, it kinda had a smell every time we walked into our house. :( Embarrassing, but true. :/

Then, it looked like this...

And now, after a lot of hard work, mostly thanks to this awesome guy...

...they look like this!!!!

Night and day, y'all! (Plus, that smell is gone! Hooray! lol)

Would y'all want a tutorial on this? If there is some interest, I can definitely write up a step-by-step guide on how we did this. It was not hard to do, just time consuming! But, SO worth it, I think!

Repurposed Wood Decor: Over-the-Door Sign

4/8/2014

Hey y'all!

So, I made this a while back and realized that I have never shared it with y'all!

This was a super simple project, kind of like the "Fresh Eggs" sign from our Kitchen Command Center, but I feel like it adds a lot!

Right below the sign is our front door (which will soon be a different color! Probably black...)

I also made a Faux Roman Shade for the window next to the door that matches the four little windows in the office, since they are right next to each other.

I may just be super-sentimental, but I love stuff that reminds me of our anniversary, and the special day that we began our family. :)

Faux Roman Shades

Hey y'all!

I don't know about y'all, but so far this Spring has been quite productive in the Bennett House! We still have a huge laundry list of things that we want to get done in the next few months, but I am definitely pleased with all that we've done so far!

One of those being my faux roman shades in the office! We have these beautiful windows that I did not want to cover up, but I felt like they just needed a little something to make them shine! :)

These shades are just the thing!

I used the tutorial from Involving Home, and it worked pretty well. Instead of just buying the fabric, I bought some large curtains from Walmart so that they already had a backing. This did make it a little more difficult, though, since the fabric was a little bit thicker to begin with. It was tough to make it sit exactly where I wanted. Also, as you can probably tell, they don't just sit perfectly. It took some maneuvering to get them where I wanted them to be. But overall, I'm happy with my new curtains!
