    house stalking

    26 August 2010

    I was driving past my old middle school when we were in Montana, and this house made me do a double take. It’s across the street from the school and I used to walk past it everyday, but I don’t remember it in this great of shape. Look what a new coat of paint, some home made shutters, a new porch railing, and some new light fixtures, and some simple landscaping (maybe new windows?) can do. I want to buy it and it’s not even on the market!

    008 1 The door is the same one from the 60’s, but isn’t it amazing what a coat of black paint can do?

    Don’t you just want to see inside now? Am I officially a stalker?

    faking built-ins

    24 August 2010

    As we were getting our basement finished, we asked our contractors how much built in shelves would be on either side of the fireplace. They quoted $2000.
    Yikes. No thank you. We are at the end of our budget.
    A few days later, I was in Walmart, and saw these Better Homes and Gardens 5 shelf bookcases on clearance for $50 each.

    They were all gone, but the brown and black floor models were sitting there. I tracked someone down and asked if I could go ahead and just buy the floor models. They said yes, I ran home and measured, ran it by my husband, and then came back and picked them up that night, fully assembled.

    thrifty treasures 8.23

    22 August 2010

    I wasn’t planning on yard-sale-ing this weekend, but there was a big church yard sale not too far from our house, so my daughters and I went. I could tell it was going to be good because there was a long line waiting for it to open at 8. This is one I will mark on my calendar~everything was completely organized, great junk, low prices.

    So much to work on as a mom, especially the listening, but this inspires me to be better…

    lamps, blog business, and a poll

    20 August 2010

    Can you believe all of these lamps/candlesticks used to be sassy and brassy? Now they look like a designer lamp showroom. If you haven’t had a chance to see them, or still want to join,  the linky will be up through the weekend.lamp collage

    Now for some blog business. I’ve updated the “about” tab (^up there somewhere) with some popular posts, and I’ve updated some of the side buttons over there somewhere. ---------------------->

    I also finally updated my blog button, so feel free to replace the old one if you want to.

    I’ll be trying to make a few updates here and there and will let you know about them, but I’ve included a poll at the top of the page about giveaways.

    Would you like to see them on 320 Sycamore? I’ve had just a couple and am wondering if you would it to become a regular thing? Or are you give-awayed out and want it to stay as is? I’d love your input.

    Thanks so much~y’all are the best!

    Love,

    19 August 2010

    While we were in MT, I got to see my brother and his wife, Natalie’s new (to them) home. She hosted the bridal shower for my sister, so of course I had my camera handy and had to snap some pics:138 1
