Over a year ago I scored a pair of these vintage Milo Baughman -esque lounge chairs.
My plan was to have them re-upholstered...but then life got in the way.
Every time I put money aside to have them done, a kid would need money for basketball camp or for breaking his leg and need an $800. boot. Oye.
If you've ever received an estimate to have a piece reupholstered, it ain't cheap (neither is a boot for a broken foot).
You may remember this $15.00 yard sale wingback chair...

Repairing cracked grout with HomeAdvisor.
This is a sponsored post for HomeAdvisor written by myself. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
Being a homeowner has its rewards but its also not for the faint of heart. You never know when your water heater is going to go out or your furnace will need a tune-up. You have to be ready for this little catastrophe's mentally and financially.
This is one of those stories where I thought I had the end-all, fix-all solution to a home improvement problem and blogged about it. Turns out, I
Boy Bedroom Reveal.
It's the oldest boy's bedroom reveal day!
Let us all sigh a breath of relief.
I had this dream that my boys would grow up best of buddies, never fight, love sharing a room (obviously I have only-child-syndrome).

Best to give them their own rooms.

Through my camera phone lens.
The little/big man's bedroom is coming along. It's now become a race against the clock as I'm trying to get it done between the Mr's business trips, a photo shoot and then debuting it on Studio 5. I've always worked best with a little "feet to the fire" business.
I'm in love with this navy-ish blue wall called Blue Fedora by Valspar from ACE. I've never really used Valspar before but it went on beautifully and there was very little odor. It my just be one of my favorite new paints.

Keeping your carpets Bissell clean + Bissell Upright giveaway.
Whenever we tackle a new project the whole house goes to crap. 100% of the time we inevitably leave a trail of mess and disaster in our wake. Case in point our plank wall project that we posted about yesterday.
With the magic of before and after's it may look like we've got everything under control but with 4 men and myself living in a construction zone it's anything but organized and our carpets really take a hit. While I was painting, my youngest stepped in the paint pan and my oldest
DIY Floating Corner Shelves.
One of our most pinned and re-posted projects are the corner shelves we installed in my son's room.
A linen closet on the other side of this wall is the reason there is this awkward little nook.
We were able to turn this annoying detail in to one of the best additions in the room with some DIY corner shelves.
I almost wish they would have just made the linen closet bigger on the other side of the wall in order to keep the whole wall in this room flush. There's just barely enough room for a
