Remodelaholic in Review: August 2014
So, not to give anyone a heart attack or anything… but it’s September. Which means it’s almost Halloween (which I love!) and then we’re fully into the holiday season that won’t let up until after the Christmas crazies. But, rather than dwelling on the impending holidays, let’s think back to summer… lovely summer… and recap what the Remodelaholic team was up to during the heyday of August…
And we stained our new deck, too. A deck was one of our first projects at the house because we have the BEST backyard. Seriously like the Garden of Eden. So we wanted to enjoy it before the cold weather comes.
We’ve also been sharing some of our favorite tips and ideas for all sorts of great things, as you know we LOVE to do! We shared FIFTY amazing toy storage ideas here,
and we also added more of our tips for decorating and DIYs to the eBay guide library — head over here to check em out (and follow us on Facebook to see these and more, every day!)

Lorene has been behind the scenes here at Remodelaholic for more than a decade! She believes that planning projects and actually completing them are two different hobbies, but that doesn't stop her from planning at least a dozen projects at any given time. She spends her free time creating memories with her husband and 5 kids, traveling as far as she can afford, and partaking of books in any form available.
