<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When we first started house shopping I knew I wanted a home with bookshelves, Jason wanted a large garage for a 'Man Cave'. Unfortunately we couldn't find a home with either of those requirements. So we compromised an got a large back yard, with a promise to put built in bookshelves at a later date, and I would park my car in the driveway so we have room for a pool table, work out bench, and couch.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> As a fellow book lover my book collection is large, not quite "Beauty and the Beast'" caliber, But we all have something we aspire to. For the past three years my book it has grown &, I've stored it in our tiny hallway linen closet. Until one night about 3am the bottom shelf that held my collection of Star Wars and Star Trek novels collapsed from the weight. The Southern Belle fit that followed afterward wasn't pretty. But as the saying goes when one door closes another one opens. This case it was the linen closet. It was time to collect on my bookshelves.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started searching pinterest for ideas and everyone was doing the Billy Bookshelf From IKEA hack. I loved them all especially the Makeristas version of the hack. Unfortunately the nearest Ikea is 3 hours away and the bookshelves are 100 - 150 each. Your girl has a budget people and that was breaking the bank because I needed three large ones.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I did the next best thing...Craigslist. It took over a month of searching for bookshelves. And one Friday night I got a notification of a yard sale happening the next day that had two sets of bookshelves made from reclaimed wood. As you can guess I was up the next morning and the first to arrive. At $20 a bookcase it was a total deal for me that I didn't have to haggle. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thirty minutes later two bookshelves were disassembled and loaded into my tiny Honda Civic. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It took me about a day to finally decided where in our house we were going to put the bookshelves. We both decided that the unused dining room would be the perfect spot. We're already planning on turning it into the home office this would be perfect. Below is the original room when we first bought it. The bookshelves would be placed on the farthest wall with the vaulted ceiling. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Dont you just love the peach wall color? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately the two bookshelves wasnt enough to cover the whole back wall so we measured that a smaller bookshelf would fill in the gap. I also knew I would eventually want either a slidding ladder or lights on the builtin. With that being said we would have to seriously mount these bad boys to the wall.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step one: Because we're keeping the baseboards intact we had to put the bookshelfs out a few inches from the wall. It required us to place wood boards along the wall in order for the built ins to fit right and rest. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Second: We assembled the two bookcases from the yardsale and built a smaller one for in the middle. We placed all three on stands so they would still taller instead of on the floor. We also wanted to add molding all along the edges. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step Three: Trying to find baseboards that match the original in our home was a pain. Thankfully we were able to find some that matched but were a little to big. Jason was skilled enough to cut an inch off the bottom. We also put molding along the sides and middle of each book case. I painted them my favorite shade of white by Behr called "White Glove" seriously guys its the perfect white.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> was so excited to share how my grandmother vintage vanity turned out. The moment it was finished I set up a photo shoot complete with a real baby. I would like to thank my lovely sister-in-law for letting me take some shots of her little girl.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before you scroll down to the bottom and view all the lovely finished product I would like to tell you a little about the piece and the steps I had to take to finish it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a 4 piece vanity with matching stool. It has a marble top and oval mirror with a gold key medallion on the center drawer. The stain is orange though at some point im sure it was a much richer color, due to poor storage conditions and years of neglect it's faded. There's some damage to the mirror and marble top but they're so minor you can barley see them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This piece also has sentimental value to me. I use to play dress up in my grandmothers room when I was little and always put on my pretend make up sitting in front of this very vanity. Now some odd years later my grandmother let me have it for our new house and it's been sitting in our storage room until I could find the inspiration for the piece.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thankfully one day I got the inspiration needed for this piece when I was searching "Awesome Mid century Furniture".....no joke. Westelms Acorn and White Mid century desk popped up. It's gorgeous and of course it was sold out. I'm very grateful it was sold out because at $600 Jason would have me evaluated. Anyways on to the step by step process for those of you who like seeing what I had to go through.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />I had to sand a majority of this piece by hand due to all the little detail. if anyone has a easier way for me to do that so I don't ruin my fingers every time please let me know. I'm all for saving my fingers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After the entire piece was sanded down which took two days. I stained it with Miniwax wood stain in </span><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: black; line-height: 1;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.minwax.com/" target="_blank">Provincial</a></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">. I added some paint detail along the edges. Applied a couple of coats of poly lightly sanding between each coat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The drawers were pretty simple. I just painted the faces in <a href="http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/W-D-610" target="_blank">White Glove</a> by <a href="http://www.behr.com/consumer/home" target="_blank">Behr</a>. Which is still my favorite color ever! The only problem I face with this part was the large drawer at the base of the vanity. I wanted to remove the gold lock medallion and completely smooth it out. I also need to fill the holes where the previous hardware was and put a bar pull in the center. Pain in the butt!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had to carefully pry the medallion off and puddy the hole there and where the previous two knobs where. I know there's a hack to use bar soap to fill holes and i've done that trick on a few pieces, but this is important and I wanted to put my time and money into it for sentimental reasons so I used puddy. Using a level I measured the exact center of the drawer and attached my bar pull in the center.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you're wondering about the new hardware because they are seriously to die for, I got them at Home Depot. They were perfect for this project and I knew I had to have them the moment I saw them. I mixed the <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Liberty-1-1-4-in-Hollow-Cabinet-Hardware-Knob-125716-0/202023236?N=5yc1vZc296Z1z0ua6xZ1z0ypvw" target="_blank">Liberity Hallow Cabinet Knob</a> with <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Liberty-Bronze-with-Copper-96-mm-Bar-Pull-65156VB/203738485" target="_blank">Liberity Bronze Bar pull</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you have a piece that's dearest to your heart and cant find it in you to completely tear it apart and make something else with it. A little bit of paint and some new hardware can totaly change the look while still keeping it the same.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I've</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">had our master bedroom in my head since we first moved in. I knew I wanted to go light and simple with alot of natural wood and contrasting colors (Basically I wanted it to look like adults stayed in here<i>) </i>and I knew just the thing to do so. When you enter our bedroom I wanted the main focus to be on the bed. Whats a better way to do that then a canopy bed. It was just my luck that the current bed we're using converts into one. SCORE!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The mid-century fan in me loves a good tapered legs, and the master bedroom is the perfect space for a mid-century piece, it just says we're adults it doesn't matter if we watch Pokemon on the weekends. I've been eyeing WestElms white and acorn mid century desk but at $600 Jason might put me in the loony bin. Thankfully I have a piece in storage that I've been dying to fix up. There's so much to do in the meantime. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've decided to not tackle decor and organization for the attached master bath and closet until after the bedroom is 100% complete. That's doesn't mean I wont go ahead and paint the walls, baseboards, & Doors. I would like to paint everything first and have a blank slate. I've been eyeing this lovely grey color by Glidden and pairing it with my favorite white from Behr. The two together will compliment each other and not draw attention away from the key pieces in the room.</span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As far as decor. I'm thinking a few framed pieces from some local artist, matching lamps, floral arrangements. I want to keep it simple & light but somewhat uniform. I'm looking into purchasing a wall monogram decal but there's so many great designs to choose from. I figure that when I decide on a design I'll put in my purchase, or I might just go a totally different and diy route. I'm looking for decor I can easily change out through the year, & I'm not entirely sure I want to put curtains in this room now since there will be curtains on the canopy.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How did you style your bedroom? Have you ever purchased a monogram wall decal? If so from where? So many questions pop into my head as I start this project, I can only hope Jason will love it once complete.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I</span> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">feel as though when 2014 ended a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. By the end of the year I vanished off the blogging world except for a few post here and there. I literally wore myself out that I had nothing left. I made some mistakes in 2014 that led to me over working myself and extinguishing my creative flame...until now!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There comes a point at the beginning of the new year where you have to sit down and re-evaluate some things. Yeah I did that both for life and for this blog. You could say they're sort of New Years Resolutions, but do you really have those for a blog. I'm just going to call them 2015 Blog goals, because 2015 Blog New Years Resolutions just doesn't sound right.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here they're!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Do Me: This sounds strange but toward the middle of last year I started comparing my new blog to some of the major well established bloggers out there. I thought I needed to keep up with the amount of content they post a week. I didn't think that my weekly blog post was good enough to keep people around. I thought I needed to post 5 times a week, so once I started doing that I ran out of creative juices & I ended up posting about things that were trending and far from my style. Which led to me not putting my heart in each post. Which leads to a train wreck for a blog. I received more positive feed back & more views back when I was posting what I loved...because you loved it to. I want to get back to the beginning and love everything I share on my little slice of the Internet. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Finish Site Redesign: Redesigning this whole site by myself has been trial and error. I have in my head this vision of how I want TheKoenigs to look. I feel confident that it will eventually be complete and up to my satisfaction if I continue to work on it. At some point I'm sure I will have to enlist the help of my tech savvy husband. Until then I'll continue to learn on my own and tweak what I can. I hope to add a few thing on here and make it very unique also a bit more sophisticated and easy to read.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Organization: I've officially purchased my first planner. It's time to get organized this year and become more proficient in keeping me on track. I've always been bad keeping on track with everything. Take this post for example I should of put it out at the beginning of the month instead it's toward the end. Yeah that has to stop!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Dare to be different: Yeah that might sound kinda cheesy but I have a few things in the works. I want TheKoenigs to be different from others and follow our own path. I've been brain storming ideas and ready to take the next step..which might entail breaking down and asking the techy husband to.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Try new things: This could possibly be a part two of dare to be different. I want to go outside my comfort zone this year. Try some new tools, projects, ideas that I wouldn't normally try, because I would be to scared to fail. Take some classes to better my photographs. Anything that could really help me better this hobby of mine. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Deciding on any piece of furniture is a long, and exhausting struggle for me. For those of you who it takes months to pick out a piece of furniture know exactly what I mean. It was love at first sight when I saw (<a href="http://www.target.com/p/carlisle-dining-chair-set-of-2/-/A-14885671#prodSlot=medium_1_1" target="_blank">These Chairs</a>) on Target.com, I'm still trying to make Jason love them as much as me. I was actually hoping to get them in black, not Tarnished Metal. However, I found that "Tarnished Metal" went really well with the pop of chicken wire on our <a href="http://thekoenigscreate.blogspot.com/2013/08/furniture-chicken-wire-winning.html" target="_blank">china cabinet</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Without anything to help envision what it would look like. I built up the courage and purchased four of these chairs. All the reviews were a mixture of the chairs seeming a bit short, others exclaimed they worked perfect. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, all four chairs didn't arrived in perfect condition. Two were missing screws to attached the back to the seat. Thankfully the awesome people at Acebayou quickly fixed my problem and sent me replacements for the missing ones. The process of putting them together is simple. They're super sturdy, extremely well made, and look pretty bad to the bone with my table. It took my dining room from super girly to a bit more rugged... Don’t you think? (Yes, I know that <a href="http://thekoenigscreate.blogspot.com/2014/01/diy-cafe-shelves.html" target="_blank">my shelves</a> & left wall are screaming for a little something extra, im even thinking about playing around with the lighting!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I got a new <a href="http://www.target.com/p/threshold-mixed-metal-coffee-table-white/-/A-14904684#prodSlot=medium_1_12&term=threshold+coffee+table" target="_blank">coffee table</a> for my living room. This makes me happy on so many levels: I wasn't loving the non existent one. So I needed something to fill that void, and I wanted something I could continuously change the style through the year. Because I constantly redecorate EVERYTHING in this house.</span><br />

My latest favorite place to shop is Target. It’s my go to store plus it has a Starbucks. You can find amazing Discounts, on their awesome app Cartwheel. I'm talking discounts, on food, home decor, Office supplies, electronics. Whats even great about it is that you can also see what deals your friends and family signed up for aswell. Its pretty neat when you really look at it, once you sign up they give you a one of a kind barcode that holds all the discounts you selected. Just let your cashier scan and rack up the savings.</div>

At the risk of becoming way to nerdy & over excited about cartwheel. I'll start with the decor. I've gotten on the fad train with displaying books. I cant help myself I love the idea of displaying classics. It make my box of stored books take up less space and makes us look intellectual. I actually just got alot of my classics from local Goodwill's. To top the books off I just added a succulent even though its looking quite dead lately.</div>

With that said, I kept the same theme on the opposite side and stored all my Better Home and Garden's Magazines! I didn't want to put too much on this table because I loving the thought of bare minimal and just showing how cool the table is alone. I did center it with another plant in a green bowl. It's been growing like crazy with just minimal care. I topped the table off with a little brass crab I got at a hole in the wall thrift store.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">
I cant wait to change the decor up through out the year. The only thing I can guarantee stays is the adorable center plant. I've killed ever other plant in this house but this guy. Way to have my back little one.</div>

For right now its very functional. We have a spot to put our drinks, because you can only rest your drinks on the floor for so long before a dog knocks it over. Although there are things on my coffee table, there is still room to perform all of these functions. The books and magazines can be stacked to create even more usable space. For color, I worked with alot of greens, since our living rooms color pallet is Greys, Greens, and Browns with splashes of bronze.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The name alone is absolutely adorable. Then you continue on to the website and are blown away with the amazing furniture they have listed. The site is simple to navigate, users can shop by category (lighting, seating, tables, etc.), Topic, or by Markdowns. </span></div>

You can get all the advice from professionals all you want who've read all the books out there, & watched every episode of the Dog Whisper out there. None of that is going to show them how to help your dog. Only you can help them, They're your family member. You're with them all day, you know how they act, a certain part of you knows deep down what they need in order to be better. We learned this the hard way with our boy Lucky. We ended up getting ripped off paying over $100 a session with a certified dog obedience trainer, when what we really needed to do was follow our instincts. Yes she gave us tips on what we should do and teach lucky before the next session. She guaranteed us that Lucky could become an inside dog with her training, but he would NEVER be around people.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whats the purpose of these classes if we can never have people around him? He's already an inside dog. After she informed us of that little slap to the face we decided to take matters into our own hands, do our own research with what we needed lucky to become. We spent a good bit of money on this dog, but the results have been great. Now we've slowly introduced people to him. He's taken with Jason's brother who can be both inside the house or in the back yard while Lucky's out there off a leash. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- How we did this was by buying the right toys to help him interact with people and enjoy doing it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Praising him for good behavior and ignoring bad behavior no matter how much we want to yell at him. Attention is attention no matter if it's good or bad and all he wants was attention.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Find a schedule and keep him on it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Making them work off built up energy daily. Lucky was aggressive because he didn't get to go outside and play much. He didn't know what to do with all his energy to he let it out in the wrong way.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Take things slow, realizing this wont be fixed over night. Its taken us half a year to get him to be around Jason's brother without problems.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Not being afraid, they know when you're scared and unsure of yourself. They look at you for leadership, and how they should act.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Don't be discouraged or give up. Even when it seems like there's no progress, it happens slowly.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to show you the toys and products we bought to help Lucky. Reminder this is not a sponsored post we bought these products last year and they've really helped us and we want to share them with you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Number one is the clicker. I had my doubts about this little thing, but the moment Jason and I started using this all those doubts were thrown out the window. The key with this is only clicking it when they're good or have done a trick like sitting or laying down. It slowly went from just laying down and sitting to get treats when inside the house. To them knowing that when they're inside they need to be calm and lay down somewhere until we call them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Second is treats, our dogs prefer dried beef or chicken liver. You can buy this in the store or make your own with a dehydrator. I choose to make mine because its a little cheaper. Then only give them these treats when their being good inside or have done something that they need to be rewarded for. When I get home from work I let them outside and grasp a hand full of liver and put it in my pocket for rewards through the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Kong Classic is number three on my list. This list is in no type of order depending on what I recommend most. Kong toys are more expensive than the other dog toys out there, but for a very good reason. This toy is still going strong even when three large dogs use it. It's so heavy duty that its lasting through my dishwasher. There's tons of recipes you can put in there, or dog treats. It keeps them occupied for a while, and also wears off some of the energy. I've been known to put left over pet friendly table scraps in there. It gets his mind to working trying to figure out how to get everything out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fourth is the exact same concept as the Classic Kong Toy, but it's a bit more complex this one is a bit tricky the treats have to come out of a much smaller hole. While being inside a ball. He has to roll the ball a certain way to release the treat. Its great to get their minds working.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally is tennis ball. If you cant put two and two together and figure out why then all hope is lost. Majority of Lucky's problem is he needed exercise, he needs that energy to go to something positive instead of being aggressive. Playing fetch is a good way to do that, when hes tired he can come straight inside and be calm instead of running around. A calm Lucky is more friendly than a energy filled Lucky. He's more open to meeting people and could care less whose inside the house or in the back yard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All i'm saying folks is you know whats wrong with your animal. You don't need to spend a arm and leg for someone to tell you what you already know. Then take the steps you need to help your family member to become better for you. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its pet appreciation month here in the US, if you're a dog or cat lover its time to show your appreciation for those little bundles of fur. Yes it even includes fish, rodents, and reptiles though we have none of those in this house. One because our dogs would eat them, and second if one of those happened to get on Jason he would scream like a little girl.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To start this month off right I decided to introduce you to our little furry clown family. Yes I consider them family and if I could I would take the with me to work every day. I wouldn't get much work done with Mocha growling at every phone that rings, Lucky humping every chair in site, and Ginger literally climbing the walls with excitement. It would make for a hell of a day though.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lets begin with the oldest, weighing at a whopping 75 lbs is our Lab/Pit mix Lucky. How we came into owning this big baby is slightly embarrassing. He was a gift from my ex 6 years ago, for a birthday present. I wouldn't trade lucky for anything, even when he gives us problems and attacks lawn mowers when he escapes the back yard. We've been putting him through all sorts of obedience classes since the middle of last year. He became a very possessive dog when we moved into our house two years ago and he was not socialized at a young age (my fault). It got to the point we considered putting him down, until we made the obedience training decision. Now he's slowly getting use to people, and has became best buds with Jason's younger brother. It's taken baby steps but he's slowly becoming the dog everyone loves. With him I've learned to never give up on an animal no matter how hopeless it seems, it might be hard work but you have to push through it because you love them.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Next clown on the list is our stubborn child Mocha. She still refuses to sit even though we've been trying to teach her for almost a year now, I put full blame on the basset hound in her. My mother brought her home one day, and I complained about it the whole time. Till one night when Mocha's brother attacked her, right when I was walking in the door. I quickly snatched her up and took care of her. We've been inseparable ever since, she's my rock, and pillow for when we take naps together. I've never had an animal that would protect me like she does, I've heard stories about people having that one animal that just loves them, the one they remember through out their whole life. Well Mocha's that for me, she's there no matter what even when I'm having a bad day, I cant stay mad for long because she cheers me up.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finishing off this circus of clowns is the baby of the bunch...The Ginger (We call her "The Ginger" because just "Ginger" doesn't do her justice) She is the sweetest, well behaved dog and the best addition to our little family. She has so much energy that when she gets wound up she will bounce off the walls. She's too smart for her own good and can open doors and lock them, she's locked me out of the house a few times. She is Lucky's BFFL and Jason's sweet baby girl, this dog makes him do the baby voice...it's weird. Shes some sort of a hound, we got her when visiting my grandmother up in GA. Granny found her dumped on the side of the road as a puppy barely alive, it breaks my heart people can be such bastards and do this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Three dogs may seem like alot to some people, and yes there are days it seems a bit overwhelming. Those days I just remember how we got them and how worse their life could of been had we not taken them in. They fit in with Jason and myself so well, we all love to eat, don't like working out unless made to, and are faithful and have each others backs no matter what. It takes a special person to love animals, we as people normally only care for other people and consider them family, it's when we take in something different and consider it part of the family that makes us shine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Folks i've been wanting one of these ever since I saw one of my favorite bloggers get one for her living room. After that I was hooked and wanted one in my house right now! I searched the site they suggest for buying one, and was blown away with the price tag of $100 for a wall hanging...no thank you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I decided to try my hand at one myself. How hard can it be right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's it...that's all you get to see. Alright now on to the feature from last week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Katelyn from <a href="http://www.learningcreatingliving.com/2014/03/faux-succulent-planters.html" target="_blank">learningcreatingliving</a> has jumped on the succulent craze just like me. However she found a way to do it with faux succulents. Its the perfect decor for folks who cant keep plants alive. I've been looking for a gift for mothers day and BAM! Problem solved. I even love the cute little holders she's got them in.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whew the month of March flew by so fast. I made alot of new blog friends, because who knew Florida was LOADED with them. I also completed a months worth of diy projects that will start making their appearance soon. With that being said of course I would have tons of favorites for that month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaEkR5dovl9uUJu3ByQaG7vlyUoUDlPEZT45tD0wocCVy53Sd8mCmGxtB_FzuAWZzeX5eVHZON_jxNoaA3tQ0wGvUoCPpAVV-I_TOaEoWha0nH6K_-fsIVCzh6zdts4Kt0wXnyYtvMftZr/s1600/March+Favorites+2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaEkR5dovl9uUJu3ByQaG7vlyUoUDlPEZT45tD0wocCVy53Sd8mCmGxtB_FzuAWZzeX5eVHZON_jxNoaA3tQ0wGvUoCPpAVV-I_TOaEoWha0nH6K_-fsIVCzh6zdts4Kt0wXnyYtvMftZr/s1600/March+Favorites+2014.jpg" height="378" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For #1 if you're not of the female gender then this wont be of any interest to you. You can find this sassy skirt at Target. It's by Merona and in the color navy, what woman doesn't need more clothes. Its super comfy and perfect if you work in a office.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As far as #2 its been hitting the blogging world like a storm. Terrariums are the shiznit right now, I of course had to give it a go. Now my whole house looks like a picture of Poisons Ivy's lair. It's cool though because I only need about 100 more till I think I've got an obsession. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Number 3 is just the same as the previous. Alot of people are using them, and while I have some I just haven't found a unique way to display them. I'd also have to saw them off the skull they're on so i've been postponing that as long as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As far as #4 what girl doesn't like Ouchless hair ties? I never have to worry about having half my hair rip out when put it down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Number 5 is the amazing Black and Decker hand sander. I've been complaining about the larger one we have hurting and making my fat jiggle when I use it. So of course Jason was the knight in shining armor and bought a smaller one, that's perfect for someone like me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For #6 I couldn't really show you the exact one that's my favorite. But its a file storage ottoman, and now I have two. The directions are really simple and I cant wait till I share it with you peeps this month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had to share that with you guys it had me cracking up last night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways lets get on to the Feature from last week and the new link party.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love drinking, but unfortunately my hand eye and crafting ability is non existent when I decide to partake the the sweet nectar of alcohol. Not for the <a href="http://craftylumberjacks.blogspot.com/2014/03/drunk-crafting-bottle-cap-magnets.html" target="_blank">Crafty Lumberjacks</a>, them genius decided make some simple little fridge magnets with bottle caps. I have tons of bottle caps stored for a project that I forgot all about, and I'm now in desperate need of magnets for my fridge more than some silly bottle cap serving tray.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I mean look how cute those things are! Unfortunately the only beer selection my local grocery store stocks is; bud, bud-light, miller, and the rest of the redneck family.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm so sick that people feel the need to complain on social media sites (Facebook) about how hard and awful their life is. You're life is only awful because that's how you perceive it. Everyone has ups and downs they go through...its not all unicorns and rainbows for me either. Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you, and change your outlook on things. You Lucky to be alive...hell you have internet, your life cant be that bad.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Why do people feel the need to put status like. "I'm removing a few non active people from my Facebook. Let me know you want to stay by liking this status." I purposefully don't like those status. I think its an attention seeking cry baby thing to do, I would rather not be your friend. Seriously are we still in high school, or are we grown adults?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've come to the conclusion that other drivers are all assholes. How DARE you blow your horn at me because I stopped at a red light instead of driving through. Yeah so what you had to slow down and stop ridding my bumper. Sometime I think I should of went to school to be a police officer, I would pull that jerk over and give him a expensive ticket.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes it's Friday time to sit back and enjoy time with the family this weekend, instead of just go go go. We have tons of plans for this weekend one of which is taking the dogs for walks and going to the Farmers Market. Also some more house de-cluttering because my yard sale pile needs to be bigger & my house less cluttered. I dread the day I have to price all that stuff because goodness its a ton of stuff. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Our website is getting a makeover as you can tell. I had a very nice gentleman contact me and offered to do a new layout...for a small fee of course. Its looking good so far. I wanted clean simple, black and white. Why? Well our content is normally colorful so we don't want the page to take away from it. They still have tons to do, like update the social media icons with something more custom. The only thing I need to do is get up to date head shots and photos for the projects. I'm a tad bit over excited and cant wait till its finally complete, then beg Jason to let me buy the domain to make this blog a bit more legit. I'm ready to be a bit more professional...even though in reality i'm not. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can expect a update on the desk this Tuesday. I haven't gotten far on it, but any progress is always good. Right? I'm looking forward to when its finished, and surprisingly it's not been as expensive as we thought. The only problem with this is its too small to hold our bad mama jama computer that we use. So I see this desk just becoming a reading spot or craft place. Which is okay with me, that just means we need to get a better desk for the computer one day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you all have a lovely weekend!</span></div>

Well time has flown by over here, I chalk that up to computer problems. Hows yalls week been so far? Any exciting news? If its been a bad week that's nothing a night of wine and carbs cant fix. Speaking of carbs if anyone has a great recipe for loaded baked potatoes they want to share i'll forever be you BFFL complete with one of those matching friend bracelets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last weeks feature is something different. In case you don't know I have a weird relationship with my dogs. They're family to me, If i could I would take them with me to go furniture shopping and let them pick out what they want. So it comes as no surprise that I found <a href="http://artsyvava.blogspot.com/2014/03/ammo-box-dog-bed.html" target="_blank">Artsy VaVa</a> dog bed from a old ammunition box to be the shiznitz!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If I had a tiny dog you best believe I would have one of these in every single room for them, unfortunately all three of mine weigh above 60 lbs. Instead I have those huge Orthopedic dog bed for my fur babies. When I say huge I mean I could use it as a bed. Only the best for my children. There's something about re purposing a random item most people would throw away into something useful that really deserves to be featured.</span></div>

I thought that once I finished my entry way that I could relax a bit and enjoy snuggles with Jason and the dogs. Pft that flew out the window when I found another project for me to do. A woman's work is never complete.</span></span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">The next project i'm working on is big guys! Not like whole room makeover big, but like a expensive piece of furniture big. You might or might not of noticed the added "Knock Off" tab on our blog. It will slowly be getting filled with tons of delicious furniture knock offs by yours truly. I cant give to much detail on the first piece, just that it will be placed in my living room for everyone to drool over.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I might not do a craft post this coming Tuesday because I'll more than likely still be working on this piece. You can still look forward to the Motivation Monday post, and our Link Party that Wednesday though. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've also been cleaning like crazy, well trying to this week. I've taken it upon myself to downsize the amount of clutter in our house. I'm starting a new monthly rule in the Koenig Casa one weekend out of the month Jason and myself are going to spend cleaning and not spending any money. We basically spend that weekend doing stuff around the house that doesn't require going and buying stuff. For instance I've been wanting to use the fire pit again before the warm weather hits, I just don't want to go buy wood to do that. Luckily both the front and back yard has tons of tree limbs that fell this winter. What a better use for those suckers than to burn in the pit, easy clean up and bam I have a reason to roast marshmallows. SCORE! We also replaced our fence and all the old panels need to be broken down and put to the curb for the trash. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm sure he's going to complain about it, but taking one weekend out of the month to complete those jobs around the house you've just been putting off slowly adds up. Plus you wife wont nag about it anymore.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Spend a weekend reorganizing all you'r important paperwork and filing that big stack of papers that's about to fall over on your counter. I feel like i'll be giving the impression to our neighbors we're responsible adults when in reality the inside of our house is a hot mess.</span></div>

Then this past Wednesday I totally thought it was Tuesday when in reality it was in fact Wednesday and I just lost a day? Yeah I have shining moments like those, but thankfully they don't happen regularly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last weeks feature was a great one! I myself am a huge fan of just sitting down and eating bread and butter some mornings, because hey nothing goes well with coffee like carbs. </span><br />
