Homey Hack #4

Did you know, if you spritz glass cleaner on your wood trim prior to caulking, the caulk won’t stick to the wood and will wipe clean !!

Did you know that adding a bowl of vinegar to your dishwasher will help with hardwater spots on your dishes?  In the top section of the dishwasher, place a small bowl upright with 1/2 to 1cup of white vinegar.  Run your wash cycle.  The vinegar will help with the hardwater stains and buildup on the dishes.

Homey Hack #2

Did you know that you can give your window and door trim a new vibe just by adding a second layer of trim?  Start with casing of your choice, I find that the "standard" colonial casing works best as my first step in trimming.  Of course you want to be as square and level as possible with this first step. Caulk is your friend here in case you need to fill any gaps and of course those pesky nail holes.  Add a second layer around the window or door to give your trim the vibe you are going for! 

Homey Hack #1

Did you know that you can refresh your old tired grout lines?  I had a brand new shower pan that due to my hard water had grout that immediately upon install was off color. The grout was supposed to be a solid, crisp black but my hard water discolored the lines to a cloudy, greyish shade. With a craft paint brush and Grout Refresh, I was able to give the grout the look I wanted.
