One of the keys to finally finishing painting the corner hutch, which we revealed back here, was our investment in a paint sprayer. I haven’t always been pro spray painting. You could say that I’ve crossed party lines. Sorry…I couldn’t help myself throwing in a little election night pun. Consider yourselves lucky that I’m not … Read more
The secret closet door china hutch is painted…boom! And all setup and fully stocked…double boom! When we last left off in our little “let’s turn a china hutch into a hidden closet door” saga, we had yet to paint the hutch. And boy did this guy need a couple coats of paint. It needed paint … Read more
I know I always say this after finishing a project, but the Fall Pinterest Challenge project that I worked on is SERIOUSLY the COOLEST project we’ve ever done! Woo to the hoo cue up the band and set off the fireworks! As you may or may not recall, my inspiration for the project looked a … Read more
It’s official…we can stick a fork it in. Our roofing project is done-zo! Instead of “Roofing With The Campbells”, I should have named the series of this post “Roofing With Mr. Campbell, Angie’s Brother, And His Friend Adam While Angie Snapped Pics From The Driveway.” But that was just too long of a title. I’m … Read more
As promised yesterday when I introduced our little “Roofing With The Campbells” series where we’ll be chronicling the task of re-shingling our home, today is the big “How To Calculate Shingle Quantity” post. And of course what would an epic bloggy series be without an equally epic logo?! That’s what I thought! Before we could … Read more
Sharing the 10 signs when to replace roofing and how we knew when to replace shingles on our old home.
The other night I had one of those “whoa” moments. It’s the end…I repeat…the end of October. What happened?! Where did the month go?! Or more importantly…why haven’t I decorated for Halloween yet?! I’m wasting precious Halloween decor time here since there’s only a discreet window of opportunity for Halloween decor. I hadn’t even crafted … Read more
Now I have the Counting Crows song “I’ve Been Hanging Around” stuck in my head. Sweet (she says sarcastically). At least it’s a good song that reminds me of my high school days. On second thought, maybe that’s not such a good thing. Anyway, we’ve got a new kitchen closet organizer hanging around these days … Read more
It’s not so much my drawers that you’re gonna get to take a peak at tonight as it’s more like my baskets. Closet baskets to be more specific. You thought I meant underwear, didn’t you?! Silly fools! Anyway, yesterday we left you hanging Cliff Hanger style and showed you our finished, trimmed up, stained up, … Read more
Is it stuck in your head too? You know…the nineties pop song?! Let me help you remember. I introduce to you the musical stylings of Ms. CeCe Peniston circa 1991. It’s coming back to you now, isn’t it. Welcome to my head where that song has been on perma repeat for the last 48 hours … Read more
So this blog post is about one part check out the rugs I picked up at Ikea last weekend for only $9.99 each… And about eight parts oh my gosh check out our Goose in sheep’s clothing. Poor Goose wasn’t entirely happy about this. But dang that dog will do ANYTHING for a cookie. His … Read more
One of my favorite “perks” of getting married (other than marrying my best friend…cheese police…cheese police!) is the registry completion discounts. No joke, those discounts are nice! Of course I know why the stores have these perks. The marketing geek in me says that it entices poor brides to spend their wedding money at their … Read more
This post is long overdue, like LOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue. As in I started this little project on January 1st and am just getting around to finishing it up and posting about it. Anyway, this post is about one-liners, and not the kind that quirky, overconfident bar fly guys use on poor unsuspecting chicas out for a … Read more
So some of you super observant, sneaky sneaky folk (but surprisingly not my mom), may have noticed the new addition to our living room back when we posted about our little fall art project. Yes, there’s a rug in town! And by in town, I really mean in the living room. Our living room was … Read more
A long, long time ago there was this couple who decided they were going to renovate their underutilized kitchen coat closet to make it more useful for them. They demoed it, installed bead board along the walls, and painted the closet walls and trim, before they got sidetracked with their wedding craziness. The poor closet … Read more
Just to be clear…we’re talking about fall art…f’art…not farts. But if you did, I’ve got a ton of Goose related fart stories I could share…like about his jarting (jump farting) and snarting (sneeze farting), but this is a DIY blog, not a flatulence blog. So I believe the word you are looking for is….anyway….Let’s talk … Read more
