Saturday, January 11, 2014. While I'm still happy at home in my first house o' dreams, my blogging focus has shifted to those times when I wander from home to explore the homes and lands of others.

Adventures in Homeownership: My Suitcase Ate My Housework

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-suitcase-ate-my-housework.html

Friday, August 31, 2012. My Suitcase Ate My Housework. At the beginning of the summer I set a clear and attainable goal. Finish decorating the guest room/office space where I spent much of my time when I'm at home. The room was a disaster area but I had great plans for a travel-themed room that would allow me to surround myself with reminders of my favorite places without being overwhelming for guests when they stayed with me. The good news: the room no longer looks like this:. There are only a few more ...

Adventures in Homeownership: Counting Sheep

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2011/11/counting-sheep.html

Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Rhetorical question: How many projects must I destroy before I understand the importance of measurements? On Monday, I was inspired to tackle more Christmas tree ornament creations. I'd had success with the first batch. But was even more inspired by this beautiful ornament that looks like snow fell on it. I had my pallet for creativity. Whether I was distracted by the beautiful gold of the dollar coin or by the West Wing episodes I had on in the background (season three, for...

Adventures in Homeownership: Shades of Grey

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012/12/shades-of-grey.html

Monday, December 31, 2012. For about 18 months, I've focused on every part of my house except the part that guests don't see. I wouldn't say that I have. Ignored my bedroom because I did buy nice linens but the fact is, it's a mess and it's always been a mess and it drove me crazy every time I thought about it. The random moments when I would get motivated meant more than one wall in the room looked like this:. I was happy for another shot at including the underwater kingdom's greatest resident. I th...

Adventures in Homeownership: Back to the Drawing Board

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012/12/back-to-drawing-board.html

Monday, December 17, 2012. Back to the Drawing Board. My intentions were so good after my last post. And with motivation high I marched to Michael's to get materials necessary for a neighborhood-specific map ornament similar to this one:. Source: A Diamond in the Stuff. The blogger who created that beautiful ornament used a glass ornament but I couldn't find them at Michael's - these cardboard ornaments for 99 cents seemed even more ideal, though, since Mod Podge can get a bit slippery. We’re still...

Adventures in Homeownership: November 2012

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 22, 2012. I cheated in order to accomplish my food challenge. I gave a lot of food away. That's the benefit of having a three-year-old nephew who can't get enough fruits and vegetables and a Thanksgiving with parents who agree that apples make great dessert. The results:. Earlier this week I used up some lettuce, apples and a couple of the oranges in a fancy salad (fancy for someone who normallly thinks tearing a leaf of lettuce requires too much time spent in the kitchen):. Tomatoes, ...

Adventures in Homeownership: Wonder Woman

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2011/08/wonder-woman.html

Saturday, August 6, 2011. A couple of days ago I mourned a paint mishap. In my kitchen. I started with a light blue with a slight tip-of-the-hat to the possibility of an accent wall.but the light color was awful. My trend-setting sister and a best friend with impeccable taste challenged me to be more daring. My sister even provided photographic evidence, which she knows is essential to convincing me of anything. (Pro and con lists are helpful, too. Spontaneous? I got a sample (learned my lesson! Ate, too...

Adventures in Homeownership: Presents for Free

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012/12/presents-for-free.html

Monday, December 24, 2012. It's the season to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, like the fact that the tree in my front yard that looked like this in March:. Now looks like this:. Though I love just about all the man-made decorations on both indoor and outdoor trees this time of year, I'm pretty sure this one is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a tree. Offered to hook the trailer up to his truck. And did I mention all of this was free of charge? December 28, 2012 at 8:30 AM. Thank you, Carrie!

Adventures in Homeownership: October 2012

http://homeownerbeth.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 8, 2012. Patio Paradise in Progress. We've reached that wonderful, hopeful point where autumn might really be around the corner in Phoenix. The temperature still climbs dangerously close to triple digits in the afternoon but mornings are really beautiful.and it's time to update my patio to enjoy it. Through countless dust storms, rain sprinkles and months of total neglect, the patio is looking pretty rough. Ignore the weeds.clearly, I do! Granted, the patio is still a mess. The table ...
