They even run down the figures at the end of most of their projects, they use coupons, scour craigslist, bargain hunt thift stores, and they have a small kids (they do the stuff during nap time or after bedtime so they are up until 12am most nights). They have plenty of give aways, give coupon codes for their fav spots, and are honest about what they are paid for and not.

I like warm, cozy and even a little cluttered(gasp!) homes. The kind that look like people actually live there.<br /><br />We have tons of things that need to be fixed in our house. Unless I can pay cash for things, they stay unfinished.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410176479138340024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-30149723714108709262012-10-04T12:30:35.042-04:002012-10-04T12:30:35.042-04:00Just a quick look around there and I'll say th...Just a quick look around there and I'll say that they make a good living off that blog. A lot of money was spent on it so they must be raking in a decent side income from it......who would do all that(spend time on that blog)for free? <br /><br />They are probably getting free product from endorsement deals and/or are paid to improve their home. Of course they don't detail costs because that would just make most of the readers not attempt to do that project/spend that money of the sponsors products.<br /><br />They are paid to get the avg. person to buy something and attempt diy. DIY is a MAJOR industry.<br /><br />This isn't some little personal blog and someone doing this out of the goodness of their heart and for fun....tho they make be having fun with it and they may be good people at heart. No judgements from me but it's business at the end of the day.<br />It's a business wrapped inside a blog.<br /><br />Their reason for being is to get you to buy stuff by making you feel inferior(envy and lust anyone?) about your home.<br />Don't buy into it.slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-90654129351685630072012-10-04T10:24:48.979-04:002012-10-04T10:24:48.979-04:00I look at those too and wonder the same thing! and...I look at those too and wonder the same thing! and I don't even have little kids anymore to get in the way :) I agree with Tanner though, I'm not impressed with neat and staged rooms, which most of them seem to be.

And yes, it takes 10 times as long because my kiddos need to eat - the thought! ;)<br /><br />I dream of those beautifully organized houses too, but then I think - mine looks well loved - literally!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.com
