4 Quick Question: Halls Still Decked?

Looking around my living room, holiday decor is still in full force. Even without a full-fledged tree this year (gasp!—I know. I’m a major holiday slacker) bowls of ornaments, sparkly stockings and Christmas card displays are still scattered about. A part of me wants to hang on to the holidays a bit longer, but another part is dying for my house to get back to normal.

Your turn: Are you the sort who holds out on packing away ornaments until the twelve days of Christmas have come and gone, or do you find yourself ridding every corner of you home of tinsel as soon as the presents are unwrapped? Do tell.

0 Reader Redo: Dabney’s Kitchen

Less of a redo and more of a start-from-scratch miracle, this little number made my day when Elena posted a photo of her daughter’s Christmas gift on my Facebook wall…

My husband made this for my daughter, Dabney. Next he's going to make a fridge/pantry, a work bench, and an easel, so Dabney will be well rounded. Just thought I'd share since I know you like DIY projects. Hope you had a great Christmas!

 

Elena, you know this adorable DIY kitchen set rocked my holiday socks off. Not only will your sweet little girl have a blast working in her new kitchen, but I’m sure she’ll pick up a few handy-gal tips and tricks while watching her dad build a few more fabulous creations.

.

…and yes, I do realize how difficult of a time I have saying the word “mimosa”. It’s equally as big of a struggle for me to spit out “thoroughly”, “many people” and “number one original with an unsweet tea”—and no matter how many times I slip up, those Chick-fil-a employees are just so darn precious.

0 Flipping Crazy

With just a few short weeks until the end of 2010, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how quickly this year flew by! More importantly, I’ve been reminiscing about all of the good times with my old friends from the Rehabilitation Station. Let’s revisit those ugly ducklings-turned-swans that joined the LTHL furniture flipping haven this year…
