Darken Cabinets WITHOUT Stripping the Existing Finish

Monday, June 23, 2014 -

My bathroom makeover may possibly be the slowest in history. It started last year when I removed the hideous, cheap light bar above the vanity and replaced it with 2 beautiful light fixtures

The next step was to add moulding to the wall-mounted mirror, and I shared some tricks to make that process easier. 
And that's where things stayed... for months and months. Recently, I finally found the motivation and decided it was time to tackle updating the vanity. If you have lived in a house built in the last 25 years, the odds are pretty good you have lived with cabinets like these. Typical, builder-grade oak, finished in a gold/honey color.

Lest you think I have been slacking, I have been elbow deep into 2 huge projects this week. I'll give you a hint, they both involve my bathroom vanity, trips to Home Depot, and making a huge mess.

"Rivets? Like as in Rosie the Riveter? Why would I need to know that?" You may be asking yourself. Holy crap! Rivets are my new favorite thing people!

Best Birthday Gift Ever!

Monday, June 9, 2014
Today happens to be my birthday, but I want to share about this past weekend! Last Thursday my husband suggests that I pack a bag for the weekend, but won't give me anymore information. Friday, right after work, we drop the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa and hit the road.

He has me drive, turns on navigation on his phone, and laughs as I follow the little voice telling me when to turn, while I shout out guesses of where we may be going.

Eventually, we turn off the highway in Globe, one of my favorite destinations for "pickin". I follow the navigation until I hear "Your destination is on the right."

Wood and Leather Sling Chair

Tuesday, June 3, 2014 -

I swore I wouldn't, but I've totally jumped on the mid-century/ danish bandwagon. Honestly, I've always been attracted to more masculine looks and I've come to appreciate the engineering in the minimalist design. I've actually had this chair built for a couple weeks. "Then why haven't we seen it?" you may be asking.
