I wrote a post about all the Master Bedroom Plans that are running through my head. You can go visit then come […]
MASTER BEDROOM PLANS ~adding a little romance
Our master bedroom is huge!! Now, I know most of you wouldn’t complain about this problem. Let me explain why I’m whining a little bit about it. We’ve lived in our house for 16 years and as an amateur decorator/DIYer/design blogger, this room has always stumped me. It has the usual bed, nightstands, entertainment center, […]
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 Two ~ Storage bins
Our house is in full swing now that everyone is in school. I love summer break where we spend family time but I also love getting back into a regular schedule and working on our to-do list. To recap, we’ve been working on our master bedroom closet. It was just a wire shelving mess […]
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, […]
THE HALLWAY IS COMPLETELY COMPLETE!
Do you know the feeling you get when you’ve worked really hard for really long on something and you just completed it and you look back and say, AAAHHHHH!!!! (insert sigh noise) That’s what I’m doing right now. The hallway renovation is finally and completely complete. Let’s look back on all that we’ve done before I […]
BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD FLOORS ~ Part Three
Laying the hardwood floors in our upstairs hallway, we’ve learned many do’s and don’t’s. Here are our top 2: #1) Starting with a space with many alcoves and crevices, a boring rectangular shaped room will be a piece of cake! #2) Walls are not square. MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE!! This is what we’ve done so far. […]
BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD FLOORS ~ Part One
Happy Very Belated Chinese New Year! My LOML works for a company from China so the week before last was a big holiday for them. SCORE!!! He took off last Friday and Monday so we had four days to rip up carpeting and lay down beautiful wood floors (or so we thought!). DAY #1 The […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ~ Planned Projects on the blog
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The New Year always brings with it hope for change, fresh, new beginnings. We just put away all our Christmas decorations. Does anyone else get tired of them? My house felt so cluttered and dirty after a month of tinsel and pine needles and garland. Now I walk through my newly cleaned, […]
