Staining Kitchen Cabinets

I found this awesome tutorial on how to stain ugly old Oak cabinets here

Which is really awesome because I have ugly old oak cabinets at my house! See? (plus ugly floors and countertops too, but that will come later!)



Well, I got all of the required ingredients for this painting extravaganza and have been layering coat after coat on my poor old bathroom cabinets. I decided I would test it on a small cabinet area (the bathroom) before destroying my entire kitchen.

It has turned out great! I will be putting the doors back on the cabinets this weekend and will then post the lovely after look! Stay tuned and come back on Monday for the final reveal!

The 45 President's of the United States Song!

Image
With the presidential inauguration of Donald J. Trump only hours away today, I felt like it was appropriate to update the old President's Song I memorized in 4th grade. For some reason the song has always stuck with me, and it has been quite handy throughout the years when answering bar trivia questions! The song originally stopped after Clinton, ("Bush and Clinton and who knows some day it might be you!") but I have updated it as we have added new presidents over the years! I can't seem to find the original song anywhere, so if you happen to have it please post it in the comments! Below are the new lyrics and I hope to eventually make it into a video with the presidents pictures! Link to song: https://youtu.be/OQZzOLx5EQ8 Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. These are the U.S. Presidents all lined up in a row! Adam, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, and Tyler. Polk, and Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson. Grant,

Last Name Banner

Sooo.. you know you can buy those picture frames that spell out your last name with pictures of random objects that make letters? Like these... Well, Our last name has 11 letters - ELEVEN - so there is no picture frame on this earth long enough to contain all of those letters.  I could have spent a fortune to pay a company to make me one, but I figured it would be a lot more fun to take all of the letter pictures ourselves! I let the hubby know my plan and we planned a day at the local flea market to take pictures. When it rained us out, we went to the art museum instead and got a lot of great pictures! I used a tree root for the L and K, art sculptures for the S’s, and found a lot of E’s and the W with in the ancient artifacts exhibit. I later took a picture of our gate for the Z and some sticks in our backyard for the other Z. It was fun going on the scavenger hunt and it gave us something to do together as well! Once I got all of the pictures printed in Sepia tones I had

TOP: The Organic Project

Image
I recently had an awesome opportunity to try out some feminine hygiene products from the TOP project.  TOP products are crafted with 100% organic cotton and are 100% biodegradable, so I can rest assured that what I'm using on my body is completely safe! TOP provides a subscription service, which as a part of my samples I didn't get to try, but isn't that genius!? I mean, these are products you KNOW you're going to need every month, so doesn't it make complete sense to just go ahead and get it delivered monthly?! You can customize exactly what products you want, choose how often you want your box delivered, and you have the ability to hold or cancel at any time! Plus, you can add one-time purchase items or make changes whenever you want! As a part of my sample, I received tampons, liners, and ultra thin pads. Let me tell you, I don't use pads very often, but these were so amazingly comfortable! It felt just like I was wearing regular cotton underwea
