Sunday’s Redo – For My Daughter

April 8, 2012 By Kelli and Holli 5 Comments

I have always loved Mid Century Modern (MCM) and Sauder Furniture, most likely because I was surrounded by it as a child. When my daughter was born, she picked up my love as well. When she was in college, we lived in a small town of about 18,000 and the yard sales were fantastic! We…

Repurposing Milk Cans and Tractor Seats - OSU from Kelli's Kitchen

Repurposing and Redefining

As I have said in the past, my husband and I like to go to yard sales, flea markets, and estate sales. Recently we went to the local flea market and purchased these three things: We paid $5 each for the megaphones and $25 for the prayer bench. We brought them home and the next…

Do I have to pick/buy and put up on the same day?

Today, it is snowing in Oklahoma and many people are home.  It is the perfect day for making jam or marmalade!  Tis’ the season for citrus fruits so a quick trip to the store will garner you a bag full for a fairly small amount of money.  If you keep jars, lids, sugar, and pectin…
