I don’t know about you, but we usually have so many tomatoes that we don’t know what to do with all of them.  We can lots of diced tomatoes, salsa, and pizza/spaghetti sauce and we still have leftover tomatoes.  Last year, I was given this recipe by a friend who swore this was the best […]

I’m assuming you have heard me talk about our “stash” before.  We have picked up lots of items from garage sales, etc, and don’t really have immediate use for them but they were a great deal.  And, we love them.  But, I’m trying to go through my stash because I get overwhelmed with it all.  […]

I was shopping with one of my girls and came across this old, rusty wall sconce without any innards.  I thought it had a neat shape and had no clue what I would do with it, but I had to have it.  I asked the owner how much he wanted for it.  He said, “Just […]

  Make-up Storage Idea One of the biggest repurposed projects we’ve accomplished to date is our bathroom vanities.  Both of our vanities were something different.  The vanity in the full bathroom was once an antique buffet that I picked up on a garage sale site.  When you convert a piece of furniture into a vanity, […]
