Hello, my name is Kimber and I'm...


I’ve got to admit something.  Because admitting a problem is the first step towards recovery, correct? 

Okay, so here goes:  I am an addict.  A DIY addict. 

I come by it very honestly.  I remember when my mama, sister and I would go clothes shopping mama would always say, “Do you know how easy that would be to make?”  I hated hearing those words as a teenager, but now they resonate with me.  I like to think it was the teachings of my parents, who work hard and are the most talented people I know, that made me think that I can DIY anything.  But honestly it may just be that I am cheap  a masochist frugal.  Or that I have champagne taste on a beer budget (the other thing my mama always told me).  Whichever it is, I am an addict nonetheless.

So when I saw this I immediately began thinking of ways I could DIY it.

And then immediately began imagining it in my bedroom.  You know, the one that I’m re-doing as part of the One Room Challenge?  The one that that has to be done in the next 3 ½ weeks?  Yep, that one. 

The sad thing is that I KNOW I could make this.  But do I have time?  Do I care?  Should I go for it?  Am I freaking nuts?

  2. I can't wait to see this one, so go for it! You may need to enlist some child labor to get it done.
