Monday Morning Musings

November 7, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict 4 Comments

I woke up this morning at 4:51 thinking that my dream was odd (no, I can't remember clearly what it was about now, but I think it involved an old friend marrying a clown), but more importantly, that I needed to have a plan. It seems that all good blogs have a theme, or a sense of structure. Since my Pinterest Interests are all over the place, I was having a hard time building a structure for the blog that would be easy for you, my readers, to follow. As it was, one day, I'd blog about lamps, … [Read more...]

Light Fixture Makeovers and Replacements

October 18, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict 6 Comments

When we first looked at our new house, I loved the natural light that filled it. What I didn't like were all the light fixtures. Every one of them were builder-grade, and the cheapest ones at that. There were "pimple" light globes in the bathrooms, hallways and even our bedroom. Every single one of the bathrooms had these light bars above the sink. And the fans on the porch were literally shaped like domes, their blades drooping. I wish I had pictures of them, but it was one of the … [Read more...]

So, the laundry room re-do is done!! In case you don't remember, because it was really not memorable at all, this is what it looked like last week. Boring. Bland. A little depressing. But now, after many days of work, and lots of energy spent, this is our new laundry room! We replaced the old washer and dryer, and the new ones were my jumping off point for all the color choices. I was able to find an "oops" paint at Home Depot that worked perfectly with the dark teal. Have I said yet that … [Read more...]

My current project – the laundry room

October 10, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict Leave a Comment

Currently, I've been working on our laundry room. When we moved here, it was one of the first things I wanted to do, but it kept getting put off because of the nine hundred other things that took priority over it, like getting the water system working. This is the laundry room "before". Like all the other rooms in the house, except for the kids's bedrooms, it was painted a depressing cream. The entire house was painted, from baseboards to ceilings, a dirty, dingy cream color that … [Read more...]

Bathroom update

October 9, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict 2 Comments

As much as I hate to admit it, I am not the most creative designer on the planet. I AM pretty good at taking an idea and making changes to it so that it works for me. When I first started reading design/craft/home making blogs, Just a Girl's blog was one of the first I started stalking, I mean following, and I fell in love with her bathroom renovation. (photo courtesy of Justagirlblog.com) When we moved into the new house, I knew I wanted to do something similar … [Read more...]
