Refurbishing a beatup file cabinet!


Today I set out to restyle an old metal file cabinet that's been in my garage. Sure I could go and buy one, but then I really don't like to part with my money unless I really LOVE the item. It's just a file cabinet I might be lucky enough to sell for $10 at a tag sale. So I thought why not revamp it and make it a "one of a kind". I will post before and after pics on here shortly, and all the details and cost that went in to the project. Wish me Luck!

Additionally, I just watched Julie & Julia the movie last night and I must say I now have fallen in love with Julie's take on Julia Child, what a wonderful feel good flick! Although I must confess during the scene in which Julie attempts to boil live lobsters, I had to mute it on the chance they made any noise. I just would not have been able to handle that. It's saying something when I'm watching a movie and already think I want to own it for my personal DVD library. What a funny and lovable movie, this is my Pick for a great movie night!



PS. here is the last posting from the real Julie :) http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/

Clearing, Shifting, Organizing! Ladies, I'm tired :)

So I've been dedicated (more then ever) to clear out "stuff", sort thru the "must keep", and get organized. Oy! It's alot of work!
However, I've made nice little "gift bags" for my friends. With clippings and things I kept with the intent of giving them sooner, rather then later. Good news is with that work I've found alot of the information I will be contributing here! Everything from my favs on recipes, clothes, DRINKS :), hotspots, beauty tips, and everthing in between!

So be sure to check back monthly, if not weekly!
