dining room chairs

chalk paint is a big diy thing.  perhaps youve heard of it ages ago and used it and can afford it and are semi-pro and shit.  well i'm not.  and until a couple weeks ago, i hadnt seen it on on my internets.  but pinteresting hours later, i found a bunch of recipes for homemade chalk paint and cobbled together my own.  and it worked surprisingly well.

banana chocolate chip cookies!

years ago [4 apparently] i acquired a recipe for banana cookies.  they are deliciously light and fluffy with minimal gagging banana taste.

well pinterest, youve done it again.  i found a website all about painting furniture instead of reupholstering.  AND IT WORKED.

THE BATHROOM FROM HELL

since moving in 10 months ago i have perfected the art of using a 6'x6' bathroom.  that is to say... i try and spend as little time as possible in that damn room.  though it is the warmest in the house.  obvi it is still pink tile with a clawfoot tub.  the money i have put into the house thus far has gone to cosmetic wall repairs in the other rooms including the hallway outside, and organizational accoutrements.
