Good Morning my peoples, Nick here with a ‘electrifying’ new tutorial (pun intended)! And don’t fret, Beth had me put the Frugal Dutchman away for this post. Way back when we were designing the arches we had decided that we wanted a couple outlets on the center column (one for the dining area, one for the living area). So today I want to show you how I wired these outlets. This tutorial might ... [ Read More ]
How to CLEAN your Stencil (and an update on the Living Room stenciling!)
As you well know, I’ve been stenciling the walls above the board and batten in the living room. It is turning out FLIPPING AMAZING, and the process is taking FLIPPING FOREVER. As you can see… I’m almost done with the first of 3 walls. I never dreamed it would take this long, but it’s turning out even more amazing than I envisioned, so that cancels it out in my head! I’m not sure how the ... [ Read More ]
The Beginning of the End Table {Using VINYL as a Stencil!}
Is it not a beautiful sunshiney day out today? Well at least it is here in Iowa. Everything’s all drippy and melty outside, and making me yearn for spring something fierce. I got to go out and frolic in it sans-twins this morning for a mommy-date-type-gathering that was fabulous. ALSO… it’s my Mommy’s 60th Birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I’m overjoyed to introduce to you a new member to the ... [ Read More ]
How to paint a backsplash!
I'm going to teach you how to PAINT your backsplash to look like actual tile! There are SO many possibilities... with pattern, color combination, etc. This is a great option of you're not ready to commit to the permanency of tile (or the cost, or messy installation). I decided to paint over our backsplash (that I painted the very first week we lived in this house). This is what it looked ... [ Read More ]

Ok, so does anyone other than me procrastinate things to the last minute and then feel really rushed to get them done? *insert Beth laughing because it is so true* ...I am a crazy planner but oh how I procrastinate. I got home last night and was planning to edit my video and then write the post for this morning... yeah, that didn’t happen. I have a ... [ Read More ]

Hello, Hello… Nick here! Every once in awhile, Beth will let me out of my cage to get on here and write... Woot! I think that with all the hustle and bustle of guest-posting over at 5D5W and House of Hep has tuckered her out just enough to let me try my hand at things!!! Well, I’m pleased to say that after 3 weeks in the making we can present to you Part II of our mudding drywall Trilogy ... [ Read More ]

This will be the first in a 3-video series over the next couple of weeks, giving you the info (and hopefully CONFIDENCE) you need to tackle a ... [ Read More ]

Instead of, ‘babe, I think you’ve been wearing that shirt all week’. Christmas cards from family and friends have been trickling in, although we haven’t decorated for the holidays yet (getting the tree this weekend), I broke out our DIY Photo Wreath! This was ...
