Mrs. Fix-It (NOT!)

Okay, this is a confession. I have no skill when it comes to doing things like fix-it projects!  I just use my imagination to create a Band-Aid like solution to buy me time.   

Below I will highlight some of my more successful endeavors.

Let's start with the kitchen. I don't have upgraded counter tops so I resort to cheating and covering up my island with a nice Olive themed tablecloth!



Next it's on to the stove. I broke the handle and have not found a replacement that works. So instead I just use pliers to turn the knob to the estimated degree that I want.  My friend, Monica, gave me a thermometer that I can place inside the oven to insure the temperature has been reached!





Let's stay on the ground floor, shall we?  Welcome to my bathroom where my son has washed so many golf clubs that the Porcelain has eroded.  I've tried to use cover up to make it less obvious, but it doesn't really stay and so I put a trivet over it.  I know, so clever!





After a recent red wine spill, I now have a solution to the wine stain in the middle of the living room. It's called a Rug!



Moving upstairs you get to my proudest achievement- my master bath!
When the towel bars started coming out of the wall, I simple removed them and placed hooks in the back wall.  When the toilet paper holder started to fall, I removed it and covered one hole with paint. With the remaining hole I stuffed it with a seashell! Yes, a seashell! It holds a roll of toilet paper perfectly!






My solution to the missing towel bars was to cover up all holes with artwork.




So as you can see, I'm always fixing (NOT!)

I do hope something falls apart soon. I've been rather bored!
