Bummer, right? That happens to me a lot, and with the bits of electrical light fixture knowledge I have acquired over the last few years I now have an easy solution I’d like to share with ya.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Pals!  I've been teasing this post for awhile, but I never meant for it to take so long to get to ya.  The reason this post is such a big deal for me, is that I've been trying to figure out how to paint the stairwell with high ceilings for literally years!  I didn't want to go as far as to use scaffolding to cut-in the edges with my brush, but I also didn't want to push myself or the limits of my ladder too far, and end up dying in the process...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the last year I have been slowly removing the wall-to-wall 40 year old carpet that plagued our cabin. Can you imagine how many wet feet and soggy bodies this carpet had seen? Barf. The majority of the carpet was ripped out the minute we closed on the place exposing the hardwood floors underneath. For months after I continued to find staples that needed to be pried up, but eventually we had the floors totally uncovered....]]></description>

That's not so easy to do at the cabin where  we have run into problems with wiring speakers.  Recently the clouds parted, and the vinyl gods pointed us in the direction of Sonos wireless speakers to solve all our listening problems...]]></description>

I’m so happy to have a little time to spend digging in the dirt and getting the backyard ready for spring! The top priority on my to-do list was to get our backyard patio whipped into shape for the summer season!

I had two major assignments, the first was to get the patio really clean. This is our second season with this new patio, and it was looking pretty dingy after sitting under a stack of snow for the last six months. The second, was to build an outdoor coffee table.]]></description>

I had always known that I wanted to run planter boxes along the base of the garage, and after mulling it over it occurred to me that adding a very large trellis might be the exact thing we needed to minimize that eye sore of a garage!

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so hard having so many windows and glass sliding doors in this cabin, I mean where am I supposed to put our tv? It&#8217;s a real problem. No matter how much of an eye sore the tv is, we can&#8217;t survive without it, and because this is just a cabin we don&#8217;t have a rec room, or family room, or finished basement to watch tv in. We have to find a spot for it in the main living area. We have this stnnnnnng view here (see below), and it would be so dumb not to have the furniture laid out in a way that made us stare at it all day. After giving the view the priority (I guess if I have to) there was only one space the tv would live, shoved in the corner. Have you guys seen corner tv media cabinets? They are dumb and ugly (just check this google image search for more proof). Just, no. After much consideration I decided the best solution for this stupid space was to float some Ikea cabinets in the corner. This is a good answer to my problem for a lot of reasons, would you like to know more? For one, it gives us a spot to hide our routers and modems and other tech stuff. It floats above the baseboard so visually it is not taking up an entire corner of the room. The shape of credenza mimics the shape of the &#8220;L&#8221; sofa &#8211; repeating elements is always a thumbs up. Lastly, the wood top allows me to have one more place to add a few books, a vase or two and for all intensive purposes besides just being pretty, camouflage that black box as best I can. Because we aren&#8217;t constantly watching tv when we&#8217;re at the cab, unless of course we&#8217;re rounding third on drunk o&#8217;clock, and it&#8217;s late, and we&#8217;re watching all the music vids on youtube. It also shall be noted that the kids aren&#8217;t allowed to watch tv in the living room. They have to watch their TV in the dimly lit unfinished basement (think that 70&#8217;s show). To get to the point, it was best to have the tv be as hidden away as possible when we were not watching Nirvana vids at 2am (see animated gif above) because most of the time we weren&#8217;t doing that. I didn&#8217;t provide [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What. Up. I thought this post might come in handy if you&#8217;re anything like me and you&#8217;re right on the edge of spring, you can&#8217;t contain yourself, and you need to just do something outside already! That being said, forgive the fact that there is barely any green going on in these pics &#8211; it&#8217;s coming! We recently replaced our Nicaraguan hammock. I had received it as a mother&#8217;s day prez two years ago and I have loved it. We were really good about bringing the hammock in when it rained the first year, but the second year we kind of let it all go to hell, and by that I mean we just didn&#8217;t give any effs when it came to leaving it out in the weather &#8211; our bad. Lots of times when you leave a cotton rope hammock out in the rain it&#8217;s gonna get mildewed and that&#8217;s just what ours did. I tried to clean it with a brush and a gentle detergent warm water mixture which helped, but I should&#8217;ve probably been giving it a gentle washing every so often, rather than when it reached the point of no return. Lesson learnt. So, I ordered the exact same &#8216;mock again (on sale now for 25% off plus use code PATIO10 today for an addish 10% + free shipping), but I promised I would take better care of it. I determined that I needed to do a better job of getting it to a safe and covered place before rain storms. Our old setup was a pain and require a bit of work to get the hammock on and off the stand, I needed to make a new system that was easier. I am also promising to wash my hammock once (at least before I put it away in winter) or twice a season to stay on top of mildew. And lastly, or maybe firstly, I could weather proof it with some Scotchgard outdoor potion to help water bead off and not get absorbed into the fibers of the hammock, thus preventing mildew. *Funny side note: my mom&#8217;s maiden names is Miels (pronounced &#8216;mills&#8217;) and her married last name is Deuhs (pronounced &#8216;dews&#8217; and she always thought it was very funny to threaten combining last names and having us all be called the &#8220;MielsDeuhs&#8221; &#8211; see why I&#8217;m so funny? I read on the internets that [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I know quite a few of you were interested in how I made the pendant light fixtures from our downstairs bathroom. Because I am probably one of your most favorite DIY bloggers, I wanted to share with you a detailed parts list, with instructions! Please note, that a lot of these parts come as straight brass or steel and you&#8217;ll have to paint them if you want them to have a black finish like mine do. As per usej, I love rust-oleum universal flat black paint, it&#8217;s always my go-to. In other news, I hope you guys are having a cool start to the week. I am still very much looking forward to spring arriving in the MPLS. I&#8217;ve got a whole bunch of projects I want to get started in the yard, but it&#8217;s just not warm enough yet! The last weeks before spring really are always the hardest to get through. Say a prayer for me.

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, hai. Grommet curtains and I have been good friends for a long time, but I think the time has come for me to mosey on (cuz I&#8217;m a cowboy) and start a love affair with a new style of curtain. I&#8217;ve long adored the casual crispness of a good simple grommet curtain. Grommets are both relaxed and tailored at the same time, and I v much like that vibe. When you are a young twenty-something (and thirty something) grommet curts are an inexpensive way to have nice looking curtains with out shelling out tons of dough on custom window treatments. Now that I am getting older and am in the twilight of my 30&#8217;s I&#8217;ve noticed something changing in me. My tastes seem to be evolving and I am becoming slightly less interested in modern design, and more into stuff that has some traditional and even classic undertones (but not too much, just a little). I think the most likely explanation for this change is that I&#8217;m being brain washed by our new velvet pleated chair into liking more fancy shit, or maybe I&#8217;m just growing up . Both are plausible. Anyways, I am still pretty cheap when it comes to curtains. I was ready for an upgrade but was still not ready for spending tons of cash. That was until I had visited a clients house and was inspired by her new curtains. She had hung Ikea Ritva curtains with curtain clips and I was really impressed by the look. The Ritva curtains have a nice texture and weight, and look much more expensive than they are. I didn&#8217;t hesitate, and ordered 4 sets of curtain clips from West Elm, and then headed to Ikea for the rest of the goods. As it is with all Ikea curtains, there is a little give and take. It always seems like you have to force them into shape and to take care when hemming them so that they will lay nicely. I spent the better part of an afternoon ironing the curtains to lay flat and to pleat at all the right places (no, we don&#8217;t have a steamer otherwise I bet I coulda saved a lot of time). I wanted the curtains to have a small understated pleat, you know, semi-tailored and delicate, without being too stuffy &#8212; just a little fancy. My solution was to clip the pleat [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Guys! I&#8217;m gonna share a secret, the one thing you can do to improve your homes interior during the winter months, is make sure to give your windows (storms too) a good cleaning before it gets too cold. Although there are many different brands of window cleaner and a lot of DIY window natural window cleaning recipes, I prefer to use a few spritz&#8217; of Windex with Vinegar. I just discovered it a few years back and it has changed my window cleaning life. Use the soft side of a sponge to help to knock off stuck on dirt and grime, and eliminate finger prints. There are as many squeegee methods as the day is long. I like to work top to bottom, left to right. Make sure you have good contact with the blade and pull down at a 45º angle. It&#8217;s imperative that you wipe the blade clean using a lint free cloth between swipes. This will prevent drips or lint from the blade making its way onto your newly cleaned window. Window Cleaning Tools Our house has exterior storm windows which help with drafts in the winter. I like to remove the storm windows first, then move outside to clean the exterior side of the windows. Inside, I&#8217;ll clean the interior windows, and then finish by cleaning both sides of each storm window.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey budz. The entryway progress continues slowly but surely! Our house has a lot of good things going for it, but one of the things it doesn&#8217;t have is a coat closet. Instead it has this really large (in proportion to our house) entryway that doesn&#8217;t serve a whole lot of purpose. It basically consists of our stair case, a weird wall cut in half diagonally by the stairs, a bay of piano windows, and a bench seat that covers a radiator. These reasons are why it has taken me six years to come up with a viable plan for the space. In the winter time us Allens rarely use the front entry, we park the cars in the garage and we exit and enter only through the back door. We use our back mudroom to hang our coats, and we stowaway our boots in our shoe cabinet. When our friends and fam come to visit it&#8217;s a different story. They enter through the front door, and have nowhere to hang there coats. When this happens, the radiator/bench wears two hats, functioning as a coat collector and jacket warmer. Hooks were long over due, it was time to install some! My pals need a place to hang there shit. I need my entryway to not be a disheveled chaotic jacket den all winter long. Of course this is something that I could have done forever ago, but because of this whole lack of a vision for the space thing, I never felt like it was worth doing. Now I&#8217;ve got a plan, and a new affinity for wood dowels, copper and leather. Put it all together and you get a wood and leather dowel coat hook with copper accents. Seems logical. Here&#8217;s how you can do it too: Supplies 12&#8243; leather strap 3/16&#8243;, 3&#8243;Dowel Screw #10 Triple Grip anchor 3/4&#8243; copper tube cap 4 &#189; of 7/8&#8243; wide dowel Screw &#038; Dowel Using a 1/8&#8243; drill bit make a hole in the center of the dowel approximately 1 &#189;&#8221; deep. Insert one end of the dowel screw into the wood dowel. Use a pliers to help sink the screw. Stop when you&#8217;ve reached half way. Using a 1/8&#8243; drill bit, pre-drill holes in the top and bottom of the leather (about a &#189; from each end) Anchors Away In the wall, drill holes for the anchors using a 5/8&#8243; bit. [&#8230;]]]></description>
