New Living Room Light

living room light 1

After tonnes of searching around, we actually opted to go with a really inexpensive ceiling light in the living room for now. We may change it or modify it later (there is no bottom to it, so I may tire of seeing the light bulb, but we’ll see). Really we needed a bright cheerful light, [...]

Christmas Cheer Party

blue star

**Scroll to the bottom of post to link your Christmas decorating** Being that we start to put up our Christmas decorations on November 1st every year, I tend to putter and tweak them as Christmas draws nearer. I think it originally started because when the kids were small, like toddler-small, I would have to fix [...]

Goodwill Lamp Makeover

Technically this lamp is part of our living room mini makeover…but I thought if I titled this post Living Room Mini Makeover – Part Four, you all might just disown me! (In case you’ve missed it you can read about the rest of the makeover here, here and here). In doing our living room revamp, we [...]

Living Room Mini Makeover – Part Two

If you’re a regular reader, you know that we’ve been making over our little old war-era bungalow one diy project at a time for the last several months. Unfortunately, I tend to bounce around a bit and not finish one room entirely before moving onto another project (I clean like that too, a little here, oh look [...]

Living Room Mini-Makeover – Part One

living2

Last week we talked about lightening up our living room. We asked for advice on painting the armoire and adding in some accent pieces. We also mentioned that we didn’t want to replace everything, as there are still some renos we need to complete on the house (like the floors in the living room/dining room) and [...]

Don’t be a Wallflower

S3000655

One of only a couple of purchases I made while shopping with my sister this past weekend was my Umbra Wallflowers. We were mainly shopping for things for her new place and her office. However the Wallflowers were something I was wanting for a while. I passed them up several times. Couldn’t do it this time. [...]

Room Revamp – Finding Fabulous!

JaneHeadShot001

This week’s Room Revamp feature takes us to the home of Jane and family of Finding Fabulous. Jane is a wife and SAHM of two whose passions are decorating for less and thinking outside the design box. (Hmmm, sounds familiar). Jane’s design philosophy is ‘take what you have (or a thrifty find) and revamp it, re-purpose it, or [...]
