This is a plastic basket that i picked up at the dollar store. They only offered this one color. I need that I wanted it to have a somewhat worn look. I first spray paint the whole thing black. Then, just using some acrylic crafters paint in gold(this stuff is i think 50 cents at walmart) i applied gold accenting with my finger, haha. It is a washable paint. Now, i have a chic basket to hold Baby Z's diapers.

Easy DIY basket update
I picked this basket out at a resale shop for baby Z's nursery. It was the perfect size for her cloth diaper hamper. I love that it had a lid because, well we are talking poopy diapers here:) The colors were wrong but a little paint and a couple minutes and it was perfect.

Insulation, wiring, sheetrock, oh my
A lot has been going on over here at the lakeside homestead. we finished all the wall framing. Next, we put in all the insulation. Regular R-13 is standard for wall insulation. for the floor and the ceiling we used R 30. Then we put in all of the wiring for outlets and light switches and the lights themselves. Next up was putting the actual wall up for that you use sheetrock. So many hours of measuring and cutting reader almost all of the sheetrock is done.

Wall Framing
Wall framing made easy. So we started with a slight sketch of what we wanted on graphing paper. the real design however came from an app on my iPad.
Useful tips / tools. get yourself a nail gun. other tools that will be needed are a square, a level, chalk line, and extremely helpful C clips.
