I’d love to hear some suggestions on decorating our t.v. nook in our family room. I’m talking about the wall the t.v. is on, and the wall around it. I know part of the redo involves painting over the faux finish inside the nook. I’m so over it! But what color to paint? What should I do with… View Post
Easy Wall Art
When I redid our master bedroom, I didn’t want to buy a lot of art pieces to hang on the wall because I was on a budget, and I wanted something more original. And I also was liking the simplicity of the room, and didn’t feel like I had to fill up every inch of wall space. Decorating with plates… View Post
Master Bedroom Redo
*UPDATE* – This room has been redone again, so click here for the latest redo. :) Well our room is just about finished so I’m going to show it now. :) I know you probably want to see pictures first, but let me just talk a little bit…or a lot. This will be a long post, but there will be… View Post
Painted Nightstands
Part of the master bedroom redo involved updating these nightstands. These are actually living room end tables, but we use them as our nightstands. They serve their purpose, they are pretty (now they are), and they were free! I’ve actually had them many years. They came with my furniture set my mom bought for me when I moved out into… View Post
Ideas to Fill Your Apothecary Jars
Ever wondered what in the world to put in these beautiful things? There are so many options, so I thought I’d direct you to a great blog, Living with Lindsay, that lists her 10 fantastic fillers for apothecary jars. You’ll be inspired to think out of the box, I promise. :) One of Lindsay’s top ten fillers are old vintage… View Post
Lace Bottles
I was inspired by a picture I saw in my Flea Market style magazine. It was a picture of a vase wrapped partially in a doily. Doilies are popping up everywhere! Now, I didn’t have any doilies on hand, but I did have some white lace fabric left over from another project. Here is the bottle I did. And yes,… View Post
The Difference Molding Can Make
I love molding (moulding?). I want it everywhere in our house. Why don’t builders make it a standard feature instead of an upgrade? I think the housing market would be much better if so. :) I first added it to a big entry wall which also adjoins the family room. Here is the wall before, and this is pretty much… View Post
Sneak Peek…
I’ve been a busy bee this week. I’m working on our master bedroom and can’t wait for it to be finished and show you! I still have to add a few finishing touches, but hopefully by next week I can do a reveal. :) I have big plans for our room that will come in the very near future, but… View Post
I was featured…and big thank you’s!!
I have to give a big shout out to 2 of my friends who have amazing blogs, for recently featuring me! I was just over the moon on both occasions (and still am)! Last week, Allison over at House of Hepworths featured me and even wrote an entire post dedicated to just me!! How sweet is that?! Allison is… View Post
Dollar Store hurricanes
Have you seen these candle holders from Williams Sonoma before? Aren’t they pretty? Way too pricey though. Here is a knock off version that will cost you only $2 to make! I first saw this idea from Get Your Martha On when she made her version here. They looked so beautiful so I just had to try it. The… View Post
Thrifty media cabinet turned display unit
Ever have one of those projects that goes great in your head, but turns out to be a doozy? Yea, this was one of them for me. Luckily though, I am pleased with the final result. :) I went to the thrift store last week and spotted this lovely thing. It was $35 and in perfect condition. I know $35… View Post
Concealing the clutter
Do you have an entertainment center that has glass cabinets like we do? The kind where you can see all the junk gaming systems, unorganized DVD’s, and anything else that landed in there? Well, I hate clutter as much as I hate roaches. Actually, I am terrified of roaches, but that’s for a different post on a different blog that… View Post
