Turning a Dresser into a Bar Part 1

I recently inherited an old dresser from my Mom. It was actually part of a set handed down from my grandparents (it was their wedding bedroom set from the thirties!) After many moves and changes of hand/ paint, it had certainly seen better days. 

How to Make a Book Safe

This year for Christmas I got Adam the Art Of Manliness book collection. They are full of tips and tricks for a modern day man to use. Plus relationship advice, essays from famous men throughout history, and tons more stuff for guys. 

While looking for the books I was going through their site and saw an essay they had about building a book safe. I love the idea of having a book on the shelf to keep secret treasures in. Plus when I told my brother about it, he jumped at the idea of having one. So I decided to try it out. 

Finally Back in Action and Some Art to boot!

Wow that was a long break....

Seriously though I had no intention of being away for so long. But life (as it often does) kinda got in the way of my plans there and I just haven't had any time to sit down and write. There has been a TON going on.

Hubby and I spent most of last year trying out, preparing, and planning for him joining the fire academy. I would like to proudly say, after all of his many months of blood, sweat, and tears (mainly mine)....he got in! I cannot express how happy and how proud I am of him. I also cannot express how busy we have been with it. I thought once the academy started everything would slow down.

HA.
