Thrifty Style Team June, Update a Painted Door Mat...Again!
Just shy of two years ago I got a wild hair not to part with any cold hard cash for a new front door mat. I didn't know then, that my thrifty welcome mat redo was going to become one of my most popular posts.
So recently when I got a new question on the refreshed door mat post asking how it had held up I decided before I responded I better take a good look at the mat.
For this months Thrifty Style Team I will revisit how I refreshed that door mat.... for the second time.

Cedar Hot Tub Cover, Patio Updating
I'm gonna get right to the point with this post and tell it like it is ...... the typical spa/hot tub cover sucks!
Those of you with outdoor spas are nodding your head in agreement, and the rest of you are wondering why the typical spa covers suck.
I'm going to tell you why vinyl covers suck, and why our new cover from Canadian Hot Tubs is awesome, but first let me give you the cover story (pun intended) of our spa and its old vinyl cover.

It's May in Minnesota - the birds are chirping, the trees are finally getting their leaves, flowers are starting to bloom, and it's time for the Thrifty Style Team with frugal finds for the month of May.
This month I have done a cheap update to an old, metal, dated dirty door.

Thrifty Style Team Projects, Where are they now?
April's Thrifty Style Team post is a where are they now? update on five of my past thrifty monthly projects. You can find the links to all the projects I mention at the bottom.
April showers bring May flowers, but I'm not sure what April snow brings besides more shoveling and mud when it melts.

Coastal Colors Coffee Table
Did you know that you can't fly on airlines with paint in your checked bags?
YOU probably did know that, but I didn't.
I figured the Fusion Mineral Paint I prefer to paint furniture with could fly just like the face paint I call beauty products, but that was not the case on a recent trip to the Golden State.

Glass Blowing In Half Moon Bay California
When I was a kid living in Southern California (we didn't call it SoCal in the olden days) we made a yearly trip to Disneyland in Anaheim.
The Land was only about an hour away, but when your age is still in the single digits an hour seems like a day. There is the possibility my dad took the long way so I would think it was farther and not ask to go more often than the one time each summer. Not that I could be a pest or anything.

Thrifty Style Team February First Aid Cabinet
Like most families we've always had a particular location in the house where we keep a decent assortment of first aid supplies.
Prior to this project it was an old tool box that I up-cycled a few years ago into a portable first aid kit.
Band aids, gauze, antibiotic.
Medical tape and wood craft sticks used for sprained fingers from sports, along with good gripping tweezers for shards of wood lodged under the skin that were sometimes longer than the tweezers.
For the February edition of Thrifty Style Team a two dollar cabinet I picked up at a garage sale several years ago was given a fresh coat of white paint inside and out, and transformed into an unmistakable first aid kit.

Projects Of Christmas Past, Present and Future
And I'm in good company. Five bloggers and a few ghosts.
Are you familiar with Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol?
It involves that Ebenezer Scrooge guy who is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, who knock him down from his crotchety demeanor.
But because I'm fresh out of real Christmas ghosts and I'm not as crotchety as Scrooge, you're about to be visited by the ghosts of projects past, present and future, or more accurately;
A project with old wood....
A sign with lettering....
And a quick and easy project you can do in the future.
The future is any minute from now right?

Chins Up, American Made Apparel
Hello Christmas shoppers and those of you looking to support small business with your good old fashioned American pride as well as your cool cash.
Today I'm going to tell you about a brand new business here in the state of Minnesota called Chins Up, but of course you don't have to live in Minnesota to order, we do have UPS and Fedex in the frozen North.
I may have missed small business Saturday and cyber Monday, but in my book shopping with small businesses is always a good idea.
And ....shopping from a business that gives a little back to veterans while still keeping some jingle for feeding their own families, well that's a no brainer for me.
And and and ....shopping a sale is good for you and for feeding your own family, right? (But I've also got a giveaway at the end.....bonus!)

Long Needle Pine Garland for Winter
I've been searching for some new Christmas garland for the past few years.
The stuff I have is over 20 years old and lots of the little red berries that were on it have fallen off and the pre-strung lights that came attached had seen their last twinkle years ago.
So as each season approaches I begin looking for something to replace it, and each year I either haven't been able to find any I liked, or there was only one three foot section left in stock, because a bunch of other people apparently liked it too.
Silk Plants Direct and Outdoor Artificial Palm Trees solved that for me when they sent a complimentary box of their holiday greens, and I love them!
Perfect for my space, high quality and exactly what I have been looking for. My garland hunt is over!

Naughty & Nice Christmas Bedroom
I'll be home for Christmas, although if you're reading this before December 25th then I'm actually not home, I'm gone.
But I will be coming home eventually and I'll greet you if you show up at my door bearing gifts, however there is a good chance I will be snuggled up under the covers in our decorated bedroom trying to stay out of trouble as part of the "Come Home For Christmas - Room To Room" holiday blog tour.
The tour is organized by the talented twosome at 2 Bees In A Pod along with other bloggers who have a knack for decorating that is by far better than mine, so make sure you tour their rooms which includes entryways, living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms and bedrooms - all decorated for the holidays.
I think the other Come Home For Christmas participants must be on the "nice" list.

Painting The Little House, Part 2
I left off discussing how I hate painting and how the little house needed top to bottom paint. Of course, oh joy.
As most everyone knows, painting is the most affordable update homeowners can do, which is good since the little house was needing it. Paint = big impact for little price.
And when you have the right tools, some projects go more smoothly.
An electric spray gun is about the handiest gadget for painting tasks, and the one we used is the Tacklife paint sprayer which you can find on Amazon for under $50 bucks. (I am not an Amazon affiliate so no I am not compensated for telling you that, click the link and take a peek at the sprayer).
I think what I hate the most with painting is the prep, taping up everything. I'd rather gnaw off a limb than tape up walls to paint.
Thankfully my husband has a long wing span so taping off for painting is an easy task for him. Believe me when I tell you that to have me tape the trim means lots of wasted tape, frustration and swear words on my part. If there is a trick for this job I don't know it.

The Little House Part One
How about some house talk today with a few Autumn tree pictures?
And when I say talk, I mean talk, there isn't a bunch of DIY photos.
Just because I've been busy posting wedding stuff doesn't mean that there isn't the constant renovation of something going on in our world.... there is.
This post is going to start out with a story, and the next post will have some of the DIY. So if you're not in the mood for a wordy post, you might want to skip this story and stop back in next time.
What you will get this time is the story of the little house, and why it's going through some changes.
In 1992 my dad had a stroke enjoying his retirement with a round at the golf course. At that time my parents lived in California where they had been for the past fifty years.

Updated Mudroom Faucet With Pfister
I say it's the hardest working because in those 20 years it was the faucet that saw the grimiest of hands, and it was the first place of rest when anyone ran inside in a hurry, if you know what I mean. PU!
Hands working hard in the garage, out in the yard, and the faucet that six kids delivered their dirtiest paws too.
Oh, and it saw animal paws as well.
My family put the mud in mudroom.

Wood Bow Ties Thrifty Style November
Hello hello hello, welcome to the November installment of the Thrifty Style Team, where a gaggle of gals show us how to be thrifty in our homes and lives.
I happen to be one of the thrifty gaggle gals, and today I'm going to show you how around here last month we used thrifty style to be stylish.
I guess you could say I'm putting the style in thrifty style this month.
Now I will tell 'ya, as far as style goes I'm the last person who would ever claim to be any kind of a fashion plate, but I do know a good-looking bow tie when I see one.

Napkins That Fool You & Wedding Menu Bands
These napkins fool 'ya.
Show of hands; how many of you know that there are napkins available that look and feel like a linen fabric but they are actually a quality disposable?
And now you are wondering why you need something like that right?
Well.... for any event, party, or get together where you need a napkin nicer than the standard kind, but real linen won't work. Like say a wedding in a tent.
I needed a quality paper napkin so 250 people could wipe Chinese food off their lips, and I kid you not I love this product, and no I am not getting paid to say that!
The napkins are made by SimuLinen and they are a linen-feel premium quality paper napkin.

Lazy Halloween Door Decorations
In these parts I'm known as the Halloween Queen.
From years past hosting a haunted trail in the woods, to some epic parties in the back shed, if I'm gonna do Halloween up, I'm gonna do it up right.
Usually. But not this year.
Or for that matter not Halloween 2014, '15, or 2016 either.
Hard to believe the door things that you are about to see is the work of the same woman who made these awesome party invites......
Or whose party buffet spread sports glowing fake windows.....

Let Them Eat Cake, From A Mosaic Cake Stand
While other folks are readying their homes for Fall, I'm still winding down from wedding preparations.
I don't really have the desire to decorate anything since I'm still un-decorating from September.
So let's have a chat where I discuss cake, smashed china cake stands, and make no mention whatsoever of pumpkin spice anything.
Daughter #2 wanted a simple wedding cake, she's not a foofy girl, and her request of Amy from Amy's Cupcake Shoppe in Hopkins Minnesota, was for cake with a dark sage green and a touch of gray, sort of earthy to match her rustic outdoor wedding.

Popcorn Cart Stocked With PoppedCorn Gourmet Treats
Over summer our place was like a bee hive.
Worker bees everywhere.
Coming and going, hammering and nailing, flying in and out of the hive with pieces of pallets.....free pallets was our form of honey.
Then just like that in one day it's all over and as they say, all that's left are the memories.
But if you're lucky there are a few bags of popcorn left too!

Mini Biff, A Good Place To Go
When something takes almost a year to plan I must have mentioned it at least once or twice, but I admit I don't often yack about the personal side of my family, so if you didn't know that tidbit, I understand why.
The spire tent went up overlooking the lake, which is a quarter mile down our driveway away from any "facilities".
It wasn't going to work to have a couple hundred people walking back up the driveway, especially after dark, with the hope of using our mudroom bathroom, a vision I admittedly wasn't crazy about anyway.
So who 'ya gonna call?

Rustic Wedding Pallet Tables
Things here at the ranch are in high production mode at the moment for an end of September shindig and I've got pallets coming outta my....... shed.
There are things to do, and lots of 'em before a tent arrives in a couple weeks.
I would call the wedding of #2 Daughter a true DIY.
She is definitely a hands on bride and thankfully she knows her way around power tools - enough so that she is teaching the groom.
My kids grew up with hammers in their hands, so it's a bit unbelievable for my offspring, but the groom didn't. Nope, he didn't grow up in a DIY family, no siree.
The groom has said he isn't even sure his dad owned a screw driver.
Hard for my kids to relate to that fact for sure.

Tasting Cake at Amy's Cupcake Shoppe
There are lots of places to visit on the quaint Mainstreet in Hopkins Minnesota.
I have frequented many of the little shops over the years, finding treasures in the Thrift stores, unique handmade items by local artisans, or bits and pieces of vintage memorabilia from the antique booths.
But the frosting on the Mainstreet cake these days, is located at Amy's Cupcake Shoppe.
Mmmmmm mmmmm.

Hyde Tools and Colorado To The Rescue
The dog days of summer are coming and at the ranch we are still picking away at projects that we hoped to have accomplished two months ago.
After last summers weather blew through with three storms of destruction, it has taken us this long to clean up and get a vision for putting things back together.
One of those visions is going to take more time than we have right now but a new and improved playground is in the design stage with input from the short people that use it.
And with the help of some complimentary tools from Hyde Tools we are making things presentable for this summer.
But let me tell you those short people have some definite ideas about how it should look!

Oh how fast summer is going and I don't seem to be getting much done.
I've been saying that a lot lately, the part about not getting much done. I think when my list is long I feel that way, but the truth is I am probably accomplishing lots of things.
Things other than what is on the list anyhow, like playing with a certain 9 and 6 year old and snuggling with a certain 11 month old.
And those things really should be at the top of the list anyhow.

What's Shaking At The Ranch?
I know you do because you email me. Thanks for missing my projects. I miss my projects too!
I've got the best readers who enjoy DIY, so I've gotta tell you that today I'm departing from the normal paint and build, so feel free to depart yourself if you're not wanting to hear boring life stuff that's void of DIY photos.
Karen from the blog Somewhat Quirky posts a "20 Things" list when she has been MIA, so I'm gonna steal that idea from her, but no promises mine comes in right at 20 or that it goes in the actual order of things.....
1. We hosted a high school graduation party where I fed a hundred people and the weather was beautiful. My BFF flew in from Half Moon Bay for the occasion. I love her.
Now before you think things like HOLY CRAP 100 people at a grad party????, let me tell you that my husband comes from a family of 12 siblings. Just them and their kids is close to 50.

Thrifty Style Team June Stool Makeover
It might be something different to you than it is to me.
Is it simply shopping at thrift stores and garage sales, or is it taking something you find at those places and remaking the item into something better or something that works more for your own taste and style?
Or is it updating an item you already own to keep you out of thrift stores and away from garage sales?
Is it all of those things and then some?
Probably.

Pfister Laundry Room Faucet
I suppose no one reading this has ever started a household project that should take a mere couple of hours tops, only for it to drag on for something like 2+ weeks, right...it's just me?
Oh that's happened to you too?
Such is the tale of installing an awesome faucet in a not so awesome laundry room sink.
Most people who come to my home wouldn't describe it as old.
Around these parts old houses are those that have been here since the middle ages. But even a 20 year old well used home can find a way to complicate a simple project just like a place built before indoor plumbing.
