Anyone else wondering where HALF the year went?? Can you believe it’s almost July? That’s nuts! I mean, I’ll be thinking about fall in just two weeks months! ;)
Since the end of the month is here, yet again I’m recapping the last 30 days of projects just in case you missed one of them! I’m adding a little somethin’ from now on too – if I haven’t answered a question you have about one of the June projects, please leave me the question in the comments and I’ll be sure to answer you there.
I started off the month by sharing what our Nutter, Nut Butt, Crazy Dog – our cute little Peanut, has been up to:
He looks so innocent.
Thanks SO much for all of the advice about our sweet, crazy dog. :) Many suggested crate training and we’ve been doing that since day one. I’m afraid we have a non-trainable dog, at least when it comes to his business. If you know what I’m sayin.
Is there such a thing as a dog that can’t be potty trained? If so, we sure have one. ;)
I don’t know if I mentioned this, but Peanut can go ALL night, like 11 hours straight, without having to go. So that is AWESOME. I have a feeling the “light bulb” just hasn’t gone off in his head yet about the rest of the day. I’m hoping anyway!
Some of you had some great ideas so we’re persevering!
At the June Before and After Party, I shared how I started out the guest room redo – with bedding as my inspiration:
LOVE it! Thank you to reader Emily for sharing the name of the bedding on Facebook – the brand is Hillcrest and the print is called Santorini. I found a comforter set for sale on Ebay here if you are interested!
Next up, a simple door painting project turned into my biggest DIY disaster ever. It involved broken glass. LOTS OF BROKEN GLASS:
I love how it turned out…I mean LUUURVE. it. So it was worth the hole in the house. I think.
I shared the ways I deal with the bad feelings blogging brings on and how I keep blogging FUN in the next post:
This post resonated with so many of you and I’m so glad!
We searched and searched for new outdoor furniture and finally found a fantastic deal at Sears:
So far we are loving it! It’s so nice to have a table set out there again. And the weather has been awesome this summer (so far), so we’re actually using it!
I made some progress on the never ending project that is my office:
The board and batten is caulked and puttied and ready for paint! (Whoo.) I showed you the how-to on prepping the molding here!
Next I shared my piling problem:
I’m a piler. And a bagger. And I loved hearing from all of you who are too!! I loved reading those comments, they had me rolling! We are NOT alone people! ;)
I’ve made some changes to our master bedroom since last fall and shared the progress here:
It’s our comfy sanctuary and I love how it’s coming together!
I shared Kristi of Addicted 2 Decorating in this month’s Show Her Off post. This recent project of hers is one of my favorites:
Wow, I just love it!
If you haven’t been to Garden Ridge, you’re missing out!:
I shared some of the goodies from my last trip here. Some of you mentioned your local GR isn’t as good lately, and I’ve noticed some changes in ours too. Thankfully they still have a great selection. (I’m a sucker for their outdoor stuff!)
And finally, I showed you how I’m teaching myself to sew (again). It’s been a couple of years since I’ve touched a sewing machine and if feels good to be creating with it again:
My sewing skills are as basic as it gets and I’m still figuring it out – I KNOW you can too! :)
That’s the month of June all wrapped up in one post for y’all! I’m kind of excited about next month’s projects because I’ve created a little challenge for myself.
I’m determined to not spend a DIME on any DIY or decor projects for the whole month of July. Over the past few months I’ve realized how long my to-do list has gotten, and I’m determined to catch up.
So I’m challenging myself to get them done without spending any money. These won’t be free projects mind you, because there are some I have the supplies for and I just haven’t gotten to completing them. (I’ll probably have a few True Value posts thrown in there too.) But I think it will be fun to try to get creative and try to make things work with what I have on hand.
So for the month of July the posts probably won’t be as in depth – some of them may be brief, how-to kind of posts. But I also hope to post a little more than usual too. We’ll see how that goes. It is summer and I tend to turn into a sloth during the warmer months. ;)
I think it’s going to be fun – but I think I may go through HomeGoods withdrawal people. Nah, really -- I’m not there that much. I just tell you every time I have been there so it seems like I am. Or something like that. ;)
If you have any questions specific to the June projects, leave them in the comments!
