Old door

Here is a up coming project for me.  My husband is building a new pantry for my in my kitchen.  We decided to use a old door we had, now I just need to figure out how I want to paint it?  Or maybe distress/antique it.  Suggestions?

DIY Curtain Rod

I had got a nice pair of curtains and was so excited to hang them but after looking all over online for a curtain rod, I decided to try to make one.  To buy one that is 6 feet would've cost me about $50 for one I didn't even like.  For one I did like would've been more like $100.  So I decked all over online for DIY ideas.  There was a very cool curtain rod made from galvanized plumbing material.  I'd still like to do that, maybe in my dining room and living room.  But that was still too much for budget right now.

So I went to a bigger lumber store and found a 1" x 72" dowel and some screw in hooks and in total cost me $17!  I took it home, stained it with what I had and I also hand a spray paint clear coat and that was it.  My husband and I put it up and covered the hooks with the curtain and I just love it.  Classic, simple and very affordable! 

Welcome, if anyone is listening......

There are so many blogs it seems like everyone has one.  I did have a blog that I put pictures of my family on but my family is getting bigger and it's hard for me to keep up with that.  So I thought I'd like to have more of a random blog.  Somewhere that I can share my random ideas and thoughts. I don't know if anyone is going to be listening and that's okay but if there is anyone out there,maybe I'll be able to help someone out or maybe even get to see a comment back some time.  So for now I'm going to say good night and ill post soon again.  I'm up far too late again and should be sleeping......
