Wardrobe Cycle
A Three Part Story Part 1: Deep clean We have one (ONE!) very small, very narrow closet in our new house. While I love our house, space is hard to come by. All coats, clothing, shoes, linens, bath towels, pool towels need to be able to fit, so out with the clothing I haven’t worn […]

Good As New: Container Garden
In honor of Earth Day, I thought I’d round up a few of my favorite upcycled container garden ideas. The snow has almost melted away from the other day, now we’re just waiting on some warmer, sandals and sunhats, move my seedlings outside, spend the day at the park type of weather.

Good As New: Surfboard
THE CARDBOARD from Scott Mac Donough on Vimeo. Coming across a new innovator to me is kinda like finding five dollars in a pair of old jeans. I love to see people doing new and beautiful things. I don’t own a surfboard. Nor do I know how to surf. Since we’re moving to Kansas, surfing […]

Good As New: Cowboy Up
Hey ya’ll! LBD and I are in Texas this week visiting my family and soaking up some glorious, warm sunshine. Bare toes and tan shoulders. Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson on repeat. Thought it would only be appropriate to feature a lil’ hill country vintage wear…. PhatDog digvintageclothing xoUda

This weekend, I’m starting my quest in sewing and need some fabrics to practice on, so I went over to the Goodwill to see if they had anything I could work with.

Good As New: Suitcases

Good As New: Wine Bottles
Not that you ever *need* an excuse to drink wine, but here are a few ideas I came across for re-purposing empty wine bottles into light fixtures. Will and I use to have quite the collection of empty wine bottles laying around the house pre-LBD. Love me a glass of chilled Sancerre in the park […]

Good As New: Greenhouse
I’ve been dreaming in green all week. And those dreams have been vacationing to these re-purposed greenhouses. It snowed here in last night. No surprise. As I lay in bed this morning, I was thinking how lovely it would be to get up, throw on sweats and a pair comfy boots, and go play in […]

Good As New: Serving Trays
The lease on our house is up in April, so we will be moving. Again. Which means no projects for me for awhile. But even though I don’t have any future home improvement tasks, I’m always on the hunt for ideas when we eventually settle down in a home. I’m hoping this will be sooner […]
