Weird title, I know, but hang in there with me and you will understand where it’s coming from :). I had a great weekend. Jason had Thursday through Monday off and I had Saturday off (Saturday is the only day I work) and so we enjoyed it! Anyway, just thought I would fill you in on what I’m up to. Now on to something more exciting: Shiny Tiny Rhinies…. I’ve been wanting a rhino for my wall. Especially the rhino. Is it possible to DIY one of these guys? Yes, I think I can :). I started thinking of how this...

Club House Dining Room. When we redid the kitchen floors, we noticed that the wall between the kitchen and dining room used to extend all the way across and only left space for a door. I’m so glad that this wall was taken out at some point because it left us with open space that makes it feel roomier than it actually is! Here is the dining room before:. The only changes this little room got was paint, furniture, a new fixture, and curtains! And now, this is what it looks like today:. Since the dining roo...

So Long, Farewell. It’s supposed to be messy! Anyhoo… are you ready for picture overload? Because that is what you are about to get! Oh, the outside. There were so many ideas I had that I never did. And that’s okay, maybe the new owners will do them. We did refresh the mulch for the sale and it looked so nice. Amazing what a small thing like that does! We finally got a new mailbox post. Our previous one was always leaning. One of the many projects we wished we had done ages ago! I tried as hard as I could.

General Tso's Chicken - Cooking Classy
http://www.cookingclassy.com/2014/01/general-chos-chicken
General Tso’s Chicken. Yesterday I mentioned that I had a cashew chicken recipe fail that I ended up tossing down the drain. Well, that fail left me with a whole lot of white rice so I decided I better try out a different Asian inspired recipe today. I’m happy to say this one was a complete success! This is General Tso’s chicken done right. Yes, the prep might be a bit lengthier than some of your more simple recipes but I’m telling you, it is worth it. Enjoy! 1/2 cup hoisin sauce. 1/4 cup rice vinegar.

Before and After: Loveseat. I was super close to buying the Karlstad. From Ikea but for whatever reason, something was holding me back. I’m not sure what because it’s super similar to what I ended up with :). And then I found a crazy little mid century modern sofa on Craigslist for $30 and I was sold. But it desperately needed a cover which was perfect because that’s what I wanted anyway. For several months, we just did this:. Here is a little in progress shot:. And here it is today:. And if anyone is in...
