Crafts | DIY | Decorating | Renovations
As of tomorrow we will have been living in this house for 5 months. We still have several projects on the go, including an almost completed boy’s bedroom, dining room and kitchen. With nothing more accomplished in these spaces, and our list of things to do outside this summer growing longer by the minute, I [...]
As much as we’d love to be sharing all of our Christmas decorating with you right now (it’s not up yet!), we’ve got other things to share with you. Fun things like sharing what are sure to become BEFORE photos of our new BACKSPLIT! Now do remember that these are Realtor photos and that the [...]
There are so many elements that make up a beautiful and cozy room; a comfortable chair, a warm rug, a soft throw blanket. And good lighting. Sometimes you want task specific lighting like you’d need for reading that incredible novel. Sometimes you desperately need a bright light to find something under the couch cushions. But [...]
On this day {Feb 7th, 2011} last year we began several weeks of renovations to our living room & dining room. We woke up to ice damming and soggy wet ceilings because our eaves troughs had frozen – leaking water along the TOP side of our ceiling drywall. Which resulted in bubbling, hanging, sagging drywall. [...]
After a busy {but FUN!} long weekend away in Niagara Falls, we don’t have any new projects to report…at least not today. Instead we will share what we came up with after briefly rearranging the living room (we have friends coming to visit this weekend…Am I the only one who feels the desire to give guests something new to look [...]
Ahhhhh. The appraisal is finished. I am curled up on the couch with my babies vegging out today. Man, that was a cuh-razay 24 hours! We cleaned, tidied & staged everything. And by 4 pm yesterday we were exhausted! (Thank you so much Debbie for taking the kids yesterday afternoon – it was a huge help!!) [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Are you all tired of our Living Room yet? We’ve finally finished the piece that began this living room makeover: the great big, gifted, pine armoire. If you recall this is what we started with: And then we made some small changes, like organizing the books, adding some blue and straightening up the shelves: [...]
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 [...]
