I moved the blog because the new spot is much easier to edit and navigate, I will still keep my homepage at tripod, though

NEW IKEA HACKS


Easy to make, I just cut four pieces of my left over door moulding out of scrap pieces that are to small to use, nail them together with wire brads, then the pop bottles come in to set inside the vases to hold water!

 

What a busy weekend it was my birthday! My mom invited all my family to come over and look at the new addition I put on my house! WoW! I also thought a great oppurtunity to show of some hacks!

NW FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW

I knew it!

I finally found a product to texture the existing walls after a month of trying every thing - Valspar (Lowes) Sand texture paint. This stuff is thick and you are suppose to use a special roller to put it on, but I   found a regular roller worked best. No more cans of smelly Homax
Easy Touch Spray Texture that clumps up or runs out of air 1/4 of the way through the project, no compressor- just a roller! Took about 1/2 a gallon to do a 30" X 96" wall but it works and looks great! And cost under $15

HOODSPAH - I GOT IT!
Mood:  cheeky

I don't take no for an answer! Lowes tried to tell me I would have to custom order my living room window treatments- To all the non believers at Lowes- Piss Off! The treatments I bought fit just fine - You can take your "Special Orders and stick 'EM" - I just saved $150

I really need to get some sleep- big day tomorrow- gotta get tabs for the suzuki and a light bulb for the rear tail light that appears to be burnt out; gotta get a top for my latest Ikea hack- a bench I am making for a window seat and all this before work!

16:16:19Recycling project #1- Magazine Bowls and coasters and trivets! While perusing Patricia's A little hut blog,
I found this Magazine Bowl she made from pages of old magazines- A person could make coasters, hot pads using this. Finally, a cool way to get rid of the pesky catalogs that crowd my mail box!

CONGRESS- bunch of monkeys
Mood:  celebratory

Not a bad weekend. got somethings done. Made some headway on the dining room. No gutters yet but I found my rivet gun! That is progress! LOL - Hope to get the gutters done this week- taking thursday and friday off since I gotta work Saturday and Sunday.

Looking forward to the garden and flower show coming up !

Mood:  happy

 

Who says the squeeky wheel don't get oiled? I called IKEA customer service and the woman at Ikea assured me the cushions were in today. So I went there on my lunch break and there were 4 cushions there! I bought 3 and the frame and three covers so now i got my Lillberg sofa to go with my Lillberg loveseat very danish odern style and cool. Looks great in the living room. IT is all coming together.Snowed for about an hour before work. Was sure it was gonna be a day out in the cold shoveling goddamn snow. LUckily it just drizzled all night. SOmething I just added: How many five year olds can you lick- I can lick 5- give it a try!
