This was our table this morning. Let’s analyze, shall we?  1. Fathers Day cards that need to be sent out

2. jars & bug spray from catching fireflies last night (they have just begun to come out around here!)

3.  table needs to be refinished~it’s on the list.

I broke.

I joined Pinterest.

I thought it was just another time sucker, look what you “need” (but you don’t really need) type thing, but then I realized I’m already doing it. When I see a picture I love or something I want to try, I right click on it, and then save it in an inspiration folder on my computer. Now, it’s even faster: you just click on the “pin it” button on your toolbar (they will lead you through it when you join) and you can save it in a folder on your pinterest. And you’re done.

I’m loving it….

I really, really wanted a schoolhouse light above the kitchen sink.  Of course, I didn’t want to pay a lot either. And for some reason, schoolhouse fixtures are e.x.p.e.n.s.i.v.e.  So, I remembered seeing this DIY fixture from Gus & Lula, and the wheels started turning.

We just had a regular old can light above the sink, so I got a light adaptor kit from Home Decorators with a coupon, so around $30.

Our kitchen has a nifty little shelf above the kitchen windows. The previous owners had some stencil action going on up there, but we were ready for something different.

We had a little beadboard wallpaper left from this project and this project. Man, have we gotten our mileage from that roll!

Do you make cute cupcakes? You probably do.

I never have…mine usually consist of a cake mix, store bought frosting and some sprinkles~like this.
