I'M A DIY DORK!

Admitting it is the first step right? I can and do spend hours at a time browsing DIY blogs for inspiration and amusement. I finally thought, why not start my own? Maybe someone could derive some inspiration from one of my half-thought out projects that wind up looking sorta cool in the end or at least walk away with a chuckle at some of the uncanny things that happen to me on a daily basis!

It's perfect timing too because we just bought a new house and I have been in turbo-motion trying to make our "house" a home. I hate white walls, clutter, and furniture that doesn't have a story. Which, lets face it, we have two small children. Clutter is our life. We have toys coming out of our ears! Every piece of our furniture has a story because at one point, it's all been spilled on, written on or posed a very compelling case for recovering... and steam cleaning :) And the white walls, I already feel like I'm in an insane asylum half the time so color is necessary. White to me is very a la padded room.

I will try my best to chronicle my DIY adventures with pictures and maybe some tutorials but I always forget to take pictures before I start my projects! I get really excited about an idea and jump right in before I realize I never took my "before" picture! Eesh. Anyway, you'll still get the idea! I hope you enjoy!
