Frugal Home Improvement

My new living room/dining room color!

December 1, 2011

So, you know how my living room’s been looking a little, er, colorful lately. If you missed the story on that, we got crown moulding, painted it, and got paint on the walls, so we needed to repaint. I decided I wanted a change of pace, so I was looking for a silvery blue. But [...]

A little tour of my office

February 17, 2011

I always love taking a peek inside other people’s homes, so I thought it would be fun to give you a little tour of my office. Worry not, though…since my frugality seeps into pretty much every area of my life, this post will be quite on topic. This is my scrapbooking/craft desk. It’s an old [...]

Our poor, pitiful backyard

August 21, 2008

When we moved into this house, it had obviously been quite some time since anyone had taken care of the lawn(if you can call it that!). Probably 99% of the vegetation was weeds. Exhibit A: I suppose the cheapest thing to do with a yard like this is to leave it, but a nice lawn [...]
