Build your own bar with faux granite countertop

Good morning! Well about as good as it can get for a Monday ;) A lot of you have seen pictures of our basement bar, but I never got around to doing an actual tutorial. This post is mostly about how to create a faux granite countertop like what I did in my kitchen, but I wanted to include some pictures of the bar before as well.

4th of July savings at the home improvement stores

Even after buying close to 100 bags of mulch this year, we still need more (ridiculous). Thankfully Lowe's has marked their colored mulch down to 5 for $10 again. Now is a good time to watch for sales at home improvement stores. Lowe's, Menards, and Home Depot will all be offering special deals leading up to 4th of July. Lowe's is even doing a special buy of the day similar to what Home Depot does all year round.

Another door turned corner shelf

Recently I posted about an old door turned into a corner shelf. I kept that one for myself, but have been on a mission to get rid of stuff! I grabbed another door out of my junk stockpile (that totally makes me sound like a hoarder doesn't it?) I did the same thing to this door, but distressed it and gave it to my mom.

50% off at Kaw Valley Greenhouses

I love Kaw Valley and think their products are top notch. Starting today, you can get 50% off at many of their retail locations (not all so double check before heading out). The Lincoln, NE locations always get marked down this time of year because they have to pack up in time for the fireworks stands to move in. For a list of Kaw Valley locations, click here.

Their hours are:
Monday through Friday - 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday - 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sunday - 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

P.S. Their potting soil is hands down the best.

Old door turned into corner shelf

You've probably seen these all over. I can't believe how popular they are! I normally see them for over $100 so here's your chance to make your own and customize it for much, much less. I actually spent $0 on this because I used up what we had on hand. If you have to go out and buy everything, I think you should easily be able to make it for less than $50.
