Comment on DIY Ideas for Storing Christmas Decorations by Betty819.
Barb, you’ve come up with some unique storage ideas for your Christmas decorations. How do you keep the plastic cups from falling over on each otther..glue the bottoms to that cardboard divider? For those wreaths you are putting inside trash bags and wreath bags, isn’t it too hot for them in the attic? I would think the NC summer heat would melt that plastic trash bag that is over the one wreath.What color bins did you chose for Christmas decorations….clear?
Are you still involved in real estate? I haven’t touched base a long time with my elementary school classmate that lives in Jacksonville..lost her email address; maybe I’ll send her a card or write a letter.

Pottery Barn-Inspired Bathroom Mirrors
Barb,
What brand and color of white did you use on the vanity itself? Sure came out nice. Are there any more pictures of the rest of the “Flipped house” on your website? Do you still have your real estate business?
Pottery Barn-Inspired Bathroom Mirrors
Hi Barb,
Did you replace the entire vanity or just paint it and the countertop and bowl(sink) or replace that completely? I love the look you created, looks about the size of my front bathroom. Have the original builder’s vanity in there from 1977 and I’m trying to figure out a way that I don’t have to buy a new set up altogether. I’m sure it must be some type of laminated vanity, maybe even fiberboard, but it is in good shape but looks 1977 style, if you know what I mean. Wished I could find a way to renovate it without ripping it out and going to the expense of replacing it altogether. My DH used to say my can of paint ended up costing him $500 plus before I got done, now he’d say it would cost thousands by the time you replace the floor tile,etc. Big decision; maybe that will be a 2015 project to tackle.
HOw long ago did you and Mr. start “flipping houses ?” That’s what my nephew wants to do when he retires; lives in Wilmington. He has the skills to do it but not retirement age yet; has 3 more years. We tell him to retire early before his high pressure job causes him a stroke or heart attack.
Silk Flowers That Fool the Eye
Barb, I agree there are some beautiful silk flowers out there today and don’t laugh but I have actually gone into an upscale dept store and thought the floral arrangements were real and tried to smell them before I looked around at other floral arrangements and realize they were silk. If people have creative talents like you, you can fool anybody. I wished I had your talents..you’re one amazing lady and I’ve always enjoyed all your blogs.
