Let's Just Vent

We wanted to change our air vent that was above our bedroom door (below left.)

We don't know why the previous homeowner put one above the door as it's an eye sore…

and it'sjust plain ugly.

So with a few tools, some wood and metal…we made a more modern cover (below right.)

What do you think?  It looks so much nicer!

Kitchen Re-Do: Part 5

Our wall looks much better with a fresh coat of white paint.

The Power of Color

We had a blue guest room for a while, but we wanted to give it a boost!

Time to bring in some color!

We are loving the yellow!  I painted the large painting above the bed which

really adds a big pop of color to the room.  Looking good!!

We bought some art in Savannah, GA which we will be hanging

in this room soon.  

Inside the Artist's Studio Part 5

The walls are primed and ready to paint.

I picked a nice light cream for the walls.

The doors look great!  

We finished the framing around the door and window done.

We also have a nice mess going on outside.

When you are creating, you have to make a mess!

Chalk Art

               

 Taping of the chalkboard                                          After one coat   

Finished!

The water heater is in the office behind this framed door.

We thought we would make it functional with the new chalkboard paint.

It went on easy like regular paint (just a little thicker).  

It definitely needed the second coat!

It takes 24 hours to cure, so I will try some chalk once it has dried.

This will be the perfect place for our To-Do list!

I don't know if it's big enough!  Hahaha!

Laundry Room

Before

Paint Name: Sea Tickle

(We had a good laugh once it was painted!  Our last house had 

baby blue everywhere....and what is our first color to paint? - Blue!)

Working on getting the shelving up.  We have been trying to

repurpose some of the furniture we already own.  This was a bookcase

we used in our office.  It will work great in the laundry room!

Why buy something new, if you can use what you already have on hand!

Almost Done

Bruce made a nice tabletop for the washer and dryer.

He used an extra desk from the office.  Looks great!

Labor Day Projects Part 3

     

 Before                                                             After

We found an old birdbath in the yard, so we gave it a quick update.

Sit Down and Relax

This is our family room and it also has great light!

Curtains and artwork will be our winter challenge.

Let's Get Together

          

 Before                                                                  After

The white paint really brightened the whole house!

All of our furniture from our last place fits and looks great!

Move It, Shake It

      

Before: Most of our furniture was in the front room

It had yellow walls with fluffy curtains.  Just not our style!

After: We have freshly painted walls and can finally put furniture in place

After: Here is the front living room so far.  We are loving all the bright sunlight!
