  • PVC Pipe Garden Cover

    I’ve definitely learned a lot about gardening this past year!! The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that there are 500 things that can go wrong in a garden. One of my biggest battles is with the birds and squirrels eating all of my yummy treats! My second biggest battle is with the intense Texas sun and my third greatest battle is with the random snowfall we get in Texas. To solve all of these issues, I’ve invested in a DIY PVC Pipe Garden Cover. The DIY PVC Pipe Garden Cover will be used as a frame for which I’ll use to cover with different material. In the spring I’ll use bird netting, in the summer I’ll use a shade tarp, and in the winter I’ll use a tarp for frost protections.

  • Raise Kitchen Cabinets

    During our DIY Kitchen Remodel, we decided to raise our ceiling and install ceiling height cabinets. Ceiling height cabinets are cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, meaning they don’t leave a gap between the cabinets and ceiling. I absolutely love ceiling height cabinets! They provide you with more storage, require less cleaning, and make your kitchen look more cohesive. Some people complain that you can’t easily reach the top shelf, but that’s fine with me. I put things I don’t use on a regular basis on the top shelf, like Christmas cookie cutters and my china collection.

  • Costs of Kitchen Remodel

    Today, I want to be completely transparent in sharing the costs for our kitchen remodel. I feel like the cost of a kitchen remodel is this massive secret that people don’t really talk about and I hate that! How can someone make an education decision if no one is actually sharing the financial side of projects? When you research the costs of kitchen remodel, you’ll find websites that provide you with a range from $11,000 to $76,000. I don’t know about your financial situation but that’s a really big price range for me to try to work with. We’re big Dave Ramsey fans so we want to budget accordingly before we dive into any project. We spent almost a year planning and saving for our kitchen remodel.

  • DIY Refrigerator Cabinet

    Our DIY refrigerator cabinet, also known as refrigerator surround, was a last minute addition to our kitchen reno. Neil decided he really wanted a refrigerator cabinet but I was being lazy and didn’t want to redo our kitchen design. He finally talked me into it and I’m so glad he did!! Our DIY refrigerator cabinet looks amazing!! You can order refrigerator cabinets but you’ll probably still have to assemble everything yourself. When we quoted a refrigerator cabinet for our kitchen reno it was going to cost us $850. We ended up doing this project for less than $100 and I absolutely love it!!

  • Updating Kitchen Cabinets

    The most expensive part of a kitchen reno is updating your kitchen cabinets. It’s shocking I know, but it’s also totally true!! If you’re wanting to save some money on your kitchen reno, the best thing you can do is try to save your current cabinets. I’ll walk you through some steps for updating your kitchen cabinets by saving what you can and buying the rest. Updating kitchen cabinets isn’t always going to be cheap but it’s going to cost you 1/4 of the price of buying new cabinets. I’ll take that option any day!!
