I want to thank Greenworks for partnering with me on this Easiest Way To Clean A Concrete Patio post. All opinions are my own.  Let me set the record straight right from the beginning. When spring rolled around this year, we were waist deep in our fourth flip house work. Our spring yard work and landscaping took a back seat as we raced to get the flip house done before we left on vacation. Now that the record has been set and I have given all the excuses for this dirty embarrassment of a patio, I can move on with… Read More

Best Neutral Paint Colors – Flip House Color Palette

Leave a Comment

I am getting a lot of questions about the paint we used in our recent flip house. I used neutral paint colors and not only do I want to share it all with you, but I want to keep record of this palette so I have it for future projects. 🙂 I think one of the hardest things to do is pick out paint colors from the small swatches they have in stores. In the beginning of our DIY journey, Matt and I would paint and repaint walls in our home like we would vacuum the floors. We did it… Read More

DIY Box Made With Chalk Couture

This DIY box project could not be any easier. I have said it many times, but whenever I find wood boxes at yard sales, I pick them up. They usually don’t cost much and I use them for everything! They are great for decorating, but they are also good for organizing, making your closets look good and your pantry neat.  I found this particular box at a church sale a couple of weeks ago. It was a great size, but I didn’t like the design on the front. Let me put my “preachy pants” on for a minute. In order… Read More

Blue Table Makeover – Easy DIY

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this blue table makeover. All opinions of their amazing brushes are my own.  About a month ago, Matt and I ventured out to a couple of area yard sales to take a break from the flip house we were working on. We wanted to spend the Saturday morning doing what we love. Armed with coffee and tea, we hit some sales. A lot of people think I find great pieces at every sale I go to, but the fact is that I strike out more than I hit a… Read More
