blog goals

In addition to house goals for 2012, I also have a couple of blog goals that I want to make happen.  Soon.

ottoman before & after

About a year ago, I found this ottoman in my neighbor’s trash…

It was in pretty bad shape, but sturdy nonetheless…

Obviously trash picked, since there was even garbage in the springs…

take it out on your home

Feeling frustrated? Life got you down? Things just going wrong? Take it out on your home.

No, I don’t mean that you should punch a hole in the wall or run around tossing breakables to the floor.

Instead, after you’ve tried your usual coping methods – mine is napping my troubles away – . . . → Read More: take it out on your home
