We have a few issues around here. Storage. We aren’t really lacking it either because I’m always trying to create it. But I am always looking for pieces of furniture that will make good storage pieces. Why? Well because I thought having TONS of storage would be a good thing. But too much storage I have found out causes 2 frustrated adults searching for things they don’t remember where they put them.
For instance, our dresser in the foyer is filled with random crap stuff.
Well I gave you all a little sneak peek last Friday about the bathroom we’ve been redoing, and today I’m happy to show you the full meal deal! Welcome to the much improved powder bathroom makeover.
Hi guys! Hope you had a great weekend. You all seemed to really like our new cowhide rug layered on top of our big area rug in the living room, so I wanted to gather a few more images of this look from around the web. I think it’s such a great idea because it can save you money by not having to buy another huge area rug, but instead just change up the look by buying a smaller rug to place on top and hide that messy stain. ;) And of course because it’s pretty!
So I’ve had the cowhide rug itch for several months now. Not sure why. Just one of those things I do where I wake up one morning and think crazy things like that, and then need it immediately. It’s a sickness.
Anyway…
This is the new cowhide rug that almost didn’t happen.
Several months ago on a whim, I videotaped my 4 year old asking what she would like in her room. Her room that I need to redo. And this is her response. She’s the cutest thing ever by the way. And if you can’t see the video below, here is the link to it.
Hi guys! I’ve missed you all, but have thoroughly enjoyed my Christmas break and holiday. When I was getting this post ready and going through all of 2013’s blog posts/projects, man, it was a good year! We accomplished quite a LOT I think. Ask me how and I can’t tell you that, but all I know is that we did it. :)
Here are my top 13 projects and posts from 2013, and reader favorites. And besides getting some room makeovers done and other projects, 2013 was kind of the year to makeover myself as well.
I’m cutting to the chase y’all, hope you don’t mind my bluntness. Remember that Design Dash event I did with La-Z-Boy where I worked my tail off for 2 days designing the room with the coral sofa? This room…
Please vote for my room and the coral sofa HERE. I will love you forever!!! Thanks so much everyone.
Come on in, grab a cup of coffee or cocoa, and enjoy the Christmas home tour! I’ll start out by saying our house is never this clean, things were shoved out of the way to take pictures, we don’t have a perfect home, and it took days to clean up just so I could take a few photos. :)
Ok, whew, glad that’s out of the way…
Here’s a snippet of what’s to come.
I really did have a bright idea. And an original one (at least that I know of) and it really just hit me one day so I went for it! I love how it turned out too since I typically don’t decorate my hutch in the office much. I knew I wanted to do something in there, and UPS has been visiting here ummm, quite a bit…..and I am sure you can see where this is going if I have a lot of empty boxes laying around right?
So here is what I came up with for our holiday hutch.
Oh happy day y’all I get to show you all our Christmas tree for this year! I had dreams this year of having an all white tree, but it couldn’t be just white…it needed to be white and flocked. Which isn’t the easiest to find. Last year we did get a real tree, and it was flocked and it was beautiful too. But I just wanted all white this year, and an artificial one. And this is the new beauty.
Things are moving quickly around here in the Christmas decorating department! The house is about finished, just still trying to clean up some of the clutter still. But anywho, today I am showing you our Christmas mantel for this year, and I am really digging it. It’s simple, yet grand, and sometimes simple and grand is all you need.
Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend. I finally was able to snap a few photos of our much new and improved breakfast room over the weekend. I mentioned a few weeks ago we took advantage of World Market’s big furniture sale they had and got our new table and chairs from there. And I just love them so much.
