The Boys’ Bedroom – Getting Some Inspiration
Hey, hey folks! Things are happening in the laundry room today. Our tilesetter friend is coming out today to lay the tile in my sewing corner and there are a few other things that have been done in there. You’ll have to wait for pictures till after we get this tile in. I know it will be torturous but it won’t be long till I show you it all again.
Today, I’ve got some cooking to do but I’m also hoping to do a little project for my boys’ bedroom. I think I’m starting to get some direction as to how I want to decorate it. It’s going to involve the word…. Excelsior… -
A Finished Laundry Room… Almost
I am so happy with my laundry room and the recent changes I’ve made. First we finished my sewing corner. Finished may not be the right word since there are still some things I want to do in this corner. For starters I’d like to fix that light cord that’s hanging along the ceiling. But I’m loving having a dedicated sewing spot. Love! Now that I use this cubbyhole as my sewing corner, I wanted a place to put supplies, materials and other craft projects. I have a folding counter in my laundry room and at the end of it there is some open space where I have my trash can as well as my…

My Sewing Corner Reveal
I am really excited to tell you about a home project that we (ahem) my dad finished for us when both mom and dad were here around Christmas time. A few years ago we made a bedroom for our boys in the attic. (I’ve never posted pictures of it because I was trying to… I was really wanting to… I planned to show it after I had finished decorating it. No, it’s still not done. It’s been 2 years and I’ve done virtually nothing. Zilch. Nada But I’ve got plans people. Plans to finally at least start on it. Nevertheless, I’m in the laundry room right now. So let’s get back to that,…

*A Unique Way to Display Christmas Cards
Hey everyone! I had a very good weekend. Hope you did, too! This past week I had a moment of in-spi-ra-tion! I love those moments… since they’re not too frequent.
Anyways, have you ever seen where hotels/restaurants will cover their large pictures with wrapping paper so that they look like a gift? I saw some this week and it inspired me to take the gate I made 2 years ago for my mantle and wrap it. I’m placing my Christmas cards on it. So simple but a fun way to display the cards we receive. How do you display your Christmas cards? -
Winter Mantle 2011
Well here we are doing our Winter mantles for 2011, already! 2011 Winter Mantle I really like the touch of orangy/red, old books and white pillar candle. Here’s the gold picture frame I painted white and then sprayed chalkboard paint on the glass. The wreath was made from ripped pieces of fabric and knotted onto a wire frame. I’m still not sure what I really think about the wreath. What’s your opinion? Here’s what my mantle looked like last year. Now to be honest, those branches drove me c.r.a.z.y!! I really like how some people use branches in their decor but these were just too big and sprawling. I…
