Tuesday "Home Tour Day"

Every Tuesday I tour homes that have recently been put on the market. I love Tuesdays. I get to know the inventory in my area as well as sneak a peak into home decor. I never tire when it come to looking at homes, especially ones that are decorated with creative style. Model Homes are great inspiration as well. I appreciate all different styles. I get the previledges of walking into many homes. Some I can't get out of fast enough while others I wish I could linger foever. I especially love the ones I get inspirations from. Here's a picture from a model home I toured and just happen to have my camera with me. I just love how they hung pictures on the tree. Each Tuesday I will post a piece of inspiration from my home tours.

DIY Project #1 Complete - Chair Covers

My first DIY project is complete. Working with the vinyl was a little harder then anticipated, didn't get perfect corners.....but I'm happy with the finished project..Whew!

Happy Work Day!

It's back to work! Tweaking business plan for 2010! If I can assist you or someone you know buy or sell real estate across the street, across the nation, or around the world, I would love to help!

Thought for the Day!

Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.‛

Okay today I started my first DIY project...I'm making chair covers for my rod iron patio furniture. I purchased a year ago from a restaurant that went out of business. One had a ugly cushion and the others were void any cushions.

Supplies:
Vinyl
2" Foam
Spray Adhensive
4 2x2 pcs of plywood -
Tools:
Jigsaw
Staple gun
eye protection glasses-

Cost:
Lowe's 1st trip $36
JoAnne Fabric $36
Lowe's 2nd trip $108
Experience = Priceless

I found the vinyl a while back at Joanne's Fabric on a trip to Dallas for $5 a leaf pattern which I love. 75% off. SCORE! Today, another 50% off foam at none other then JoAnne's who knew it was so expensive even with the discount. Purchased a jigsaw. Cha ching....wanted the DeWalt! Now I'm $172 into my first project and I haven't even picked up a tool. I'm sure my projects will be a little costly at first while I collect the necessary tools and add to my minimal collection of tools. Typically I borrow from my neighbor he owns every possible tool you could imagine and has given me an open invitation, but there is something about owning your own tools...right?
Today's #1 Lesson preparation is king! Stay tune....pictures to follow.
