Pictures of Board and Batten in the Living Room!



We made it to the front page of HGTV!

My Avery's room made it to the front page of HGTV.com!!!  This is for sure the highlight of my day, maybe week or month!  We are the one of the pictures on "See what your neighbors are doing on Rate my Space".

Our new Master Bedroom

We were able to get a new bed a few months ago.  Too make a long story short it is the bed I picked out first, then changed my mind to a black four poster bed, but the company didn't place that order like they told me and I ended up with the one that I had originally picked out.  But I think in the end it was a good mistake on their part! 

Since we previously had a Queen and now have a King I didn't have ANY bedding.  I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to do in there, but I found this bedding at Bed Bath N' Beyond today and really liked it.  I had the same color before on the old bed, but it is just so relaxing and I never tired of it.  So I got it again!

Our Reading Corner

Big wall that I NEED suggestions for!  If you have any please get commenting!  I am thinking something along the lines of molding and damask wall paper. 

Tin Shelf has a new home!

I have found a new home for the thrift store tin shelf!  Above the potty in my master bedroom.  Funny place you might say.  But it looks cute!

My Home Goals for 2010

Wow! 2010!  Doesn't the sound of that just sound crazy? I don't know why, it is not that much different than 2009!  It just seems weird to me!

I am making a goal this year to get some stuff done that has been on my mind for quite sometime.  We all have 1,000,000,000 and 1 things we would like to get done in our homes and I am not excluded from those who do.  It seems as though my brain is so full, sometimes I feel as that I am going crazy!  So I am making a list of my goals here and crossing them off as I go.  Maybe this way I will feel a little more saine! 

Here are some of the things that I would like to accomplish:

1.  A little work done in my Master Bedroom

-some new bedding

-maybe some wallpaper (Yes, I did say wallpaper.  A nice Damask?)

-a little molding to dress it up

Maybe something like this for the bedding?

Go here to see more great photo's like this one.

Molding? Maybe something like this?

Wallpaper? http://www.target.com/

I just got this new bed, so I am trying to decide what would look good with it.  I want a modern/traditional look.

   

I also have a chair that looks just like the ones in this photo

So if I could just pull all of these looks together for this lonely bedroom that would be great! (New bed not pictured)

2.  Some nice patio furniture

I have worked really hard on my yard since we have built this house 3 yrs. ago.  There a quite a few things that I would like to do.  I love to sit out on my back patio and enjoy myself during the summer, but there is one little problem.  I have been doing it on crappy plastic furniture. 

Maybe something like this would be much nicer?!

3.  I would like to try some beadboard in my family room with maybe a coffered ceiling.

Something like this for the ceilings?

And this for the beadboard?

Don't you think this would just add to my Family Room?  It is looking a little plain in these pictures!

4.  I would like to turn my vegetable garden into square foot gardening instead of an overgrown jumbled mess.

Maybe something like this would be manageable?

 

5.  This last one is for my poor little husband

-Organize the garage back to how it was before we finished the room in the basement.  I have a lot of things that I just don't use anymore.  But I just can't get myself to get out into that 20 degree weather to go and spiffy it up!  Maybe when it gets warmer babe! 

I am sure there are more things that will be added as time goes on.  My brain never seems to let me rest!  But this is it for now!

Post Christmas Mess!

While the rest of my house looks like this.....

I just like to sit in my comfy chair and look at my tree and pretend that the rest of the mess is not there!  I wish that it would just pick itself up and put itself away where it belongs.  This is the part of Christmas that I don't like!  The MESS!  I decided to leave it all today and went to Tai Pan and bought some ornaments, 50 percent off.  I know some people like to actually see the Christams tree, but I like the tree to look like Christmas threw-up all over it!  It is now getting closer to looking like that.  Here are some of my new additions:

Spray Painting Door Hinges

We just finished the last part of the basement.  We bought some doors to put in and when we got home realized that they had silver hinges instead of bronze like the rest of the house.  So instead of returning all of the doors (aka: pain in the butt), I went and got some bronze spray paint and painted them all.  Kind of tedious, but it worked.  It has been about a month since I painted them and so far they are holding up!

I love to decorate! These are pictures of our house so far. There are of course things I would love to change. All in time!
