    My name is Karen, I have a son who is a Duke fan, and I love finding a bargain, thrift shopping, yard saling, home decorating, and do-it-your-selfing! I love the old gym floor headboard! I’m now on the look-out for the deconsruction of an old gym floor!

      NO WAY! That’s excellent! Great Karens think alike! I found the old gym floor at a salvage warehouse, FYI. You can also check for school salvage or surplus sales. Welcome! So glad to have another thrifty Karen here!!

Hi! I’m Karen. I call myself a “recovering lawyer,” because I turned in my power suits for power tools and a life of DIY. This blog is all about DIY, home decorating, repurposing and upcycling, and organization. I believe in merging old and new to make a house a home.
