These photos were taken last week, which show a huge change from the.

I decided to try the rubbing alcohol Sharpie cleaning trick on some common surfaces around here (since we’re going to be renovating it all anyway) and tell you how it went!.I started out on our laminate counter top.

Kennedy seems to enjoy coloring elaborate pictures on there that somehow escape the paper.. A little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and it melted away!This one’s a keeper!.What about finished wood cabinets!.

The painted wall right beside the cabinet?.If you have Sharpie there, you may just have to repaint that little patch.

The rubbing alcohol cleaned the paint away and revealed the weird pinky color that used to be on these walls.. Hmm, OK, well if that didn’t work, how about the stainless steel fridge?.

I’m talking about the scribbles on the left, not the right, just to clarify., so you can see the difference the new sectional made.

I love it so much.I got to pick whatever fabric I wanted and I’m so glad I went just a little bit bold with this one..

I really love fancy and complicated Christmas trees, but I just don’t have the patience to do them myself at this point in my life.So even though we have 5 trees this year, they’re all super super simple.
