My husband Rich issued me a challenge over this long weekend:

For two months, I may not purchase anything new for the house BUT I must keep working on projects for the house. The exceptions: a $20 limit on supplies and a $10 limit on things from thrift stores/ yard sales/ junk shops/ etc. (I think those were the limits. They may be backwards.)

My challenge issued back to him: he isn’t allowed, for the same period of two months, to say “I don’t think that will work” or “I don’t think I’m going to like that”.

GAME ON.

My projects this past weekend included hanging art in our bedroom (with frames borrowed from throughout our house and spray-painted black), hanging a mirror in the bedroom, and general tidying. Total cost? Zero dollars. Photos (and sources, links, and tutorials) to come!
