I went insane the last couple of days.  I decided I hated my front door, so I painted a faux wood finish on it and put a faux stained glass film on the window (which I wanted for privacy....put that is a different topic).   The picture doesn't do it justice (and the picture is also crooked, but oh well).  The paint is actually about 5 layers of different colors of paint following how a wood door would be constructed.  You also can't see the other side light because the...

I'm tired today.....I am *really* tired today..... We decided to paint the kitchen over the weekend. We ended up staying up into the wee hours of the morning...not too bright since we had to get up at 5am and go to work... Anyway, we have a 4 year old house, which was pretty much just painted the plain off white that all new construction seems to be in these days. However, I love color. I love vibrant, clean, bright color. The house of my dreams is not what most people would want, and,...

In my article: http://karmagirl.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=580 I mentioned that I ordered a faucet online. I ordered it online Monday *night*, they shipped it out Tuesday, and it was delivered on Thursday. Now, *that* is service!

I would recommend www.faucetdepot.com to anyone who is looking to buy a faucet. They are linked to from...

My husband and I are "do it yourself" kind of people. The main reason is that we are cheap, and the other is that we are very picky about how things are done. Our house is not that old. It's not even 4 years old yet. But, there are things about it that I have hated from day one. I have a list. One of the top items that I had on my list was the kitchen sink. Nothing was broken with it- it was just ugly. It consisted of a builders grade stainless steal sink with baskets that were obvio...
