The beautiful classic fireplace is finally done!!!! When I first started planning my master bedroom renovation, one of the things I wanted most was a beautiful faux fireplace as one of the focal points of the room. When I decided to move my bed to another wall, I found the perfect home for the new […]

“SPRING”ING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
I haven’t worked on the outside of our house since we built the wood pallet fence around our ugly air conditioning unit a few years ago. We’ve been in our house about 17 years and I really wanted to change the color scheme up a bit. After the HOA okayed my plans I got to […]
A BEAUTIFUL NEW DESK FROM THE RUBBLE
Do you remember when I told you about the LOMLs desk that we were going to move into Son #4’s bedroom when we were building the cozy reading nook? How it fell apart in our hands as we were transporting it. We didn’t make it ten steps before all the joints broke apart! We ended […]
MASTER CLOSET REVEAL ~ Organized, Clean, & Beautiful!
I’m so excited to show you our new master closet. But before I do, a little reminiscing. Here’s the before. Very disorganized and cluttered. I hated walking into it every day. After we emptied out all the stuff and took down the wire shelving, we filled in all the holes with spackling, sanded forever, scrubbed […]
CLOSET RENOVATION ~ Take Three ~ the shoes
We recently had company stay at our home. Do you know what that means for me? In my crazy world, I put the pressure of completing any projects that are unfinished around the house before they come. Why do I do that? I know it’s crazy but the positive is, the projects get done!! Company […]
CLOSET RENOVATION ~ pipe shelving
We’re slowly but surely progressing with our master bedroom closet. If you remember from my last closet post, we decluttered and organized all the crap important items in the closet. We’ve also painted the walls a cheery yellow, and laid engineered wood floors just like our upstairs hallway. After we finished this part of the project, […]
BEAUTIFUL FRENCH DOORS ~ and a little touch of class
We’ve been working on the upstairs hallway for awhile now. We’ve completed some fun projects up there. I painted all the doors to the bedrooms and hall bathroom black about a year ago. I also added some pretty bling. I didn’t paint the bonus room double doors because I knew I wanted to do something […]
PHOTO GALLERY IN THE HALLWAY
We are getting closer and closer to finishing our upstairs hallway. So far, we’ve hung the board & batten. I made a large mirror on the cheap. We found a beautiful antique table that I painted and distressed. We still have a few projects still to do to finish this space. We need to paint, change […]
A “NEW” OLD TABLE ~ and a new distressing technique
While planning for the hallway redo, I wanted something beautiful for the weird special wall right here. It’s the first thing that greets you when you walk upstairs.(Forgive the wood and painters tape. This picture was taken before the board & batten wall treatment was done.) In this space I pictured a large mirror above a beautiful […]
2015 PROJECT RECAP
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope your 2015 was a year full of wonderful memories, completed home projects, and no regrets! Looking through my 2015 To-Do List that I wrote about this time last year, I’m amazed at the projects we completed. And I’m also amazed at how many projects I didn’t even get a chance […]
