Welcome to Dogs Don’t Eat Pizza HQ! I can’t wait to show you around. Don’t mind the dog fuzz and obstacle course of dog and kid toys – come on in.
Let’s start in the kitchen, like you just walked in the back door…
We renovated the kitchen in September-October of 2012.

In our home, we don’t do fancy, and we love color.
Come on in to the dining room. This room has changed so many times (second time here) it now more reflects our taste and style.
These curtains are now in our breakfast room…
The curtains came from Ikea, and I used a sharpie to personalize them with food and cooking words.

A "recovering lawyer," I turned in my power suits for power tools and a life of DIY. I believe in merging old and new to make a house a home.
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!!
