About:	When it comes to DIY, I'm a master of re-purposing. My mother was a thrifter and a junker and after much resistance, I am now too. I love finding new uses and bringing new life to old things. I live in a small town and love to shop local whenever possible. There are three True Value stores within 20 minutes of my home and I love the variety of the products they carry. I can find whatever I need there!

After the Holiday Season Comes DIY Season!

After all the excitement of the holidays are over the DIY season hits in my house! We live in a snow state so winter is a great time to tackle indoor projects. This year, with a new house, we have a LOT to do. But one of the simplest projects that can make a HUGE impact is cabinet hardware!!!! I'm so excited to show you the new hardware I picked up at True Value Hardware. I've been drooling over it for years and this new kitchen was perfect for it.

Resurface Your Driveway!

I absolutely love fall. I am so excited that the cool weather is hitting. But what I don't love is winter. Not only are Wisconsin winters hard on me, but they are hard on my driveway! We recently purchased a home with a driveway that really needed some attention.?

The Big Reveal - My True Value Hardware Deck Re-Do!

I'm so excited to finally review the results of my deck re-do with True Value Hardware! We started out with a plan, picked out paint- then painted, we fixed the screen door, made a light fixture, encountered a swarm of bees (YUCK!) and now we are finally finished!?

Painting! What a Difference it Makes ...

So I talked about choosing paint colors for the deck...then preparing the space or paint...and now it's time to actually share the finished paint job! Our deck is half wood and half concrete. It's important that you choose the appropriate paint for the surface your painting. Don't forget about choosing exterior paint when painting things that are outdoors.
