crafty time

June 13, 2011 1 Comment

Crafty time project overload. That addicting little thing called Pinterest, is filling my brain with all sorts of wonderful crafty ideas I want to do. Problem is I can't seem to find the time to do them all. I end up making weekly daydreaming stops at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels' to stock up but I haven't managed to finish anything. Just a glimpse of what I have in process...Pillow cases. Many pillow cases. All my pillow inserts have been sitting on the sofas throughout the house naked since … [Read more...]

spring craft room cleaning

June 10, 2011 3 Comments

I guess it really should be summer cleaning since it is in the 90s out. Whatever the case, the time to get organized has arrived. I've admitted I might have a slight problem with Target and various craft stores. Due to my shopping habit the craft room closet was looking a little shabby with all my recent purchases. I have all this wonderful space to store things and had great intentions to keep everything perfectly organized true to my OCD tendencies. As is the case when there are too many … [Read more...]

another brick in the wall

June 8, 2011 1 Comment

The front of our house is very traditional which is not the look we are going for on the inside so I've been itching to change it.  I've been saying I wanted to paint the bricks in the front for months. The hubby thought I was nuts but I found the photographic evidence I needed to show him that painting the brick was exactly the way we needed to go. Painting brick is a very controversial topic but for our style it really fits. This is what our place currently looks like complete with crazy … [Read more...]

master bedroom dreams

May 16, 2011 1 Comment

I'm jumping the gun and looking at master bedroom ideas. Why do I even bother when our master bedroom currently looks like this?! Relaxing looking room, right? Sigh...it looks more like Home Depot than a master bedroom. For the record we are not sleeping in this room. This is just storage for now. ;)Until we manage to get this room done I will dream of clean, simple and modern looking master bedrooms. We have plenty of time to decide which way we are going but the room is huge...as in 14 X 24 … [Read more...]

phase 2

May 4, 2011 1 Comment

Our house renovation is being done in phases. Why? Because money does not grow on trees (unfortunately) and we don't have a ton of time to spare. We have pretty much finished up the front part of the house. Is it all furnished? Do we have base boards? Are all the light fixtures done? Of course not! But it looks nice enough to invite people over for dinner and drinks now. Pictures to come soon :)That is enough for me to start planning how we are going to tackle Phase 2. What is included in Phase … [Read more...]

This seriously might be the way we select our backsplash. We didn't even look at options for a backsplash for the first few months of the house renovations. It seemed so far away at the time and such a simple detail. Yeah, right! A backsplash can make such a big difference in the entire look of the kitchen.We went a bit more traditional with our kitchen cabinets because I won most of the remodeling decisions so far and I felt the hubby should get at least one. Shhh! Don't tell him that though. … [Read more...]
