Rehabbing Thrifted Adirondack Chairs

I purchased two Adirondack chairs and a foot rest from a thrift store for less than $50 several years ago.  They had never been painted or stained and were very weather worn and  not very sturdy, but I saw potential. When I first got them home, I made them a little more sturdy by adding some more screws and replacing the back brace that was broken on one of the chairs. I also primed and painted them a cheery Sun Yellow from Rustoleum.

NEXXUS Hair Products Review

I received this product to test and review from Influenster.  This is a fun community that allows you to share news and reviews on products and in turn have opportunities to try products for free!

I was very excited to be selected for this campaign! I am hard on my hair with daily use of styling products, flat ironing, and blow drying.  I am always searching for new hair products that will give my hair volume, while repairing my split ends.  In my VoxBox I received the following: NEXXUS Diametress Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave in Conditioner.

How We Modernized our Traditional Porch Column

From the moment we moved into our house, the front column bugged us. It just did not fit with the ranch style of our house, especially since our carport had square columns.  We were not sure how to change it easily until we stumbled across this post on Young House Love:  They had the exact same issue we had and their house looked very similar to ours!!!

This is my first month of BirchBox and I decided to try it since they were offering it for $5. It is a monthly subscription that starts at $10 per month.  I was happy with the products in my box this month.
