STAIRWAY REMODEL | CARPET TO WOOD
03/09/2022
DIYing a stairway remodel from carpeted builder grade rough-in stairs to stained wood with painted raisers is not for the faint of heart. Rebuilding stairs as a “non-professional stair builder” is a feat in and of itself. Then there is the sanding, the wood filler, the caulk, the stain, the sealer and the paint – all while maintaining a usable path to the upstairs bedrooms. It’s a backache filled, not-fun-at-all process but the final product is 110% worth it. After we installed the pine wood floors throughout the dining, living and family rooms, we tackled the stairway. Sadly, I apparently never got a before picture of the carpeted stairs. But you can see in the first photo on the left how we changed the traditional rounded bottom step to a more modern squared off look. The original stairs were just basic stairs that were carpeted over. We tore all...

Instead of buying vanilla beans in a grocery store, look online for better values. Etsy and Amazon are good options. There are different types of vanilla beans all with varying flavor notes. Madagascar vanilla beans are most commonly used in vanilla extract but any...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
02/06/2022
If I don’t plan my weekly meals in advance, the picture above is how I feel every night as dinnertime nears. “Nothing sounds good”, “we don’t have all the ingredients”, “it takes too long to make”, yada, yada, yada. Then dinner turns into a bowl of cereal. We are into the second month of 2022 and I’m still doing well planning my menus out in advance. 2022 MUST be my year, right? Let’s hope! Anyway, here is what is planned for dinners this week. My wild and crazy Saturday night consisted of stocking up at Costco and the grocery store so I have no excuses not to cook every night this week. It’s going to be a good week, everyone. Let’s do this!
