Day One Success~ Kitchen

I know totally gross right? Don't worry it looks better now.

I started with these tools. No they did not pay me or give any of this stuff to me for free. It's what I use. Those are my basics and really it is all I need plus a little "elbow grease" as my mom always told me.

I cleaned the microwave inside and out and polished all my stainless steel. (Microwave, stove, and dishwasher). I looked in my junk drawer and went to town. This is after and if you still think it looks bad you should have seen it before. And no I am not a pyro we just grill a lot and we use a charcoal grill.

This has been an eye sore forever and it has been bugging me more and more so today I did something about it. It isn't perfect but WAY better than before right??

And drumroll please the final product!

Not too bad right? Now as Jay-Z says "On to the Next One!"

I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot . It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know? Another mom had pee stains too. So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle. I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair. It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer. You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in t...

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster. I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw. I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop. I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me. However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house. The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches. I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them. I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a li...
