This weekend I am going to try to:

๏ Finish reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

๏ Search for fabric for my kitchen. 

I need curtains in a bad way and not just anything will do.

If I could thrift something like the ones shown 
below, I'd be a happy girl.

Odds are that I will have to order. I hate buying new. Don't you? 

Thrift stores have spoiled me & my budget :)

How do you like these colors?

♡Color My World♡

 (btw: my husband totally hates these, lol he prefers the 

stagnate 'grandma' approach to decorating) 

๏ I suppose we will also hit the dog park or take the gang for a hike. 

I would much rather hiking.

There is something about a dog park that 
I dislike...a lot. 

Whats on your agenda for this weekend?

Upcycle your way home

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.


Once upon a time there was a dress
I mean there was a set of curtains

Upcycled Curtains

It was a dress, but then there was change
Repurpose is now the name of the game

(clearly I've been reading to many children's books)

You start with this well worn and loved dress:
I liked to wear it with a pair of jeans :)

Then hunt down this handy little tool:

I found these hooks at Big Lots, fairly cheap. I wanted to reuse something in the house as a curtain rod, but wasnt able to find anything. So I bought a tension rod for $2:
