I’m starting to look at my powder room with a critical eye. With a graduation party coming up, you know me. I’ll be caught in a whirlwind of sprucing and freshening up what’s tired around the house.
What do you think of those neat vessel sinks that just sit on top of a counter? I think they are cool. There’s something very classy and elegant about this look.
Whether they’re made from porcelain, glass, stone or copper, these sinks will lend an air of elegance to any bathroom. Of course, if we decided to go with a vessel sink, there would be many other things to do to get the rest of the bathroom up to the same level of gorgeousness.
I think I will start with a fresh paint job and see where it leads me. You never know where you’ll end up once you begin transforming a room in need of new decor. It sure is a fun journey, though!
So…do you have any home improvement projects slated for this spring? Leave a comment and share your plans with everyone!
This is the year! I’ve been considering it now for several years, but I am finally ready to take the plunge and work on my wicker furniture this year. Nope…not going to buy new patio furniture when the wicker furniture I do have has plenty of life left in it.
So…I will be taking a wire brush to the pieces soon to remove as much of the old paint as possible. Then I will be spray painting the pieces with fresh and bright new white paint.
I am also going to make new seat cushions for the chairs and refinish the top of my wicker coffee table. Perhaps the final touch for my porch redo will be replacing the tired old area rug beneath the furniture with a brand new area rug.
I can’t wait!
My husband has created quite a den for himself out in our garage. Think part gym and part fix-it shop and you probably have a good idea of what he’s done. The one thing I think he’d like is garage flooring tile because the flooring out there has seen better days. It’s a 150 year old carriage house made over into a garage, so that might give you an idea of what he’s working with. I’m quite sure the flooring isn’t THAT old, but it’s seen better days.
I love the casual look of Adirondack chairs. They are comfortable and stylish — the perfect seating for a deck or patio. These chairs are also ideal for a porch, whether its enclosed or open — sitting comfortably on chairs with high backs and sturdy arms is the way to relax at home.
When its time to gather the family for an outdoor meal, choose from picnic tables that will provide seating for everyone. This doesn’t have to be boring — a picnic table made from high quality wood, thermoplastic, concrete, aluminum and even recycled plastic. You have plenty of options for choosing outdoor seating for a meal.
Create a nice area in your outdoor landscape with one or two park benches. Again…just like the picnic benches, you have many choices in materials for the benches. Concrete, aluminum, wood, thermoplastic and even custom benches to show off your innovative style.
Spring is coming — are your outdoor areas ready for comfortable seating and hanging out with friends and family? Now is the time to think about this so that you’re all ready to go when the temperatures warm up. Think about the style you want and go for it! This is an investment that you’ll appreciate for years.
How often do you rearrange your furniture? I admit that I might do this a little more often than the ordinary person. Sometimes something just takes over me and I need to freshen a room up a little. It’s amazing how a different furniture arrangement can achieve this. What makes it even better is you don’t have to spend a penny to make it happen!
Of course, finding cheap furniture stores in los angeles would also be a treat. If you’re looking for ways to keep your home fresh, inviting and comfortable, then I encourage you to look at your living room or family room with a critical eye. Sometimes even when you THINK there’s no other arrangement, there are little things you can move to make your room seem new again.
Try it!
Are you itching for a new winter project? As you cast your eyes critically around your home, it might not take long for your gaze to come to rest upon your floors. Yes…it’s not hard to see wear and tear making your flooring start to look tired and worn.
Don’t worry…I’m in the same boat, so I know what it’s like!
How about we take a fun shopping excursion for some new wholesale ceramic tile at rock-bottom prices? Sound good? Of course it does!
If you’re like me, the idea of ceramic tile is very attractive. But, maybe you’re also like me and you don’t know the first thing about selecting ceramic tile. It’s a big step…one that costs money and one that you’re going to have to live with for a number of years. You don’t want to make any mistakes…am I right?

I looked around a little bit at a website and I learned that I gravitate toward the natural stone flooring. I absolutely love the look of these tiles.

I could totally see this flooring in my kitchen and bathrooms. I would be one happy mama, I tell you!

I have found that sometimes spending a little time on oft-overlooked details of your home is a great way to set your home apart and make it really pop. Take your address plaque, for example. Have you thought about your house numbers at all lately?
Address plaques sit on the front of your house, identifying it for the world to see. They are necessary identification, but they can also be an effective way to add charm and interest to your exterior home.
Imaginative and unusual address signs might seem like an unnecessary extravagance, but when your goal is to create a high-profile and high-quality home with curb appeal, don’t skimp on this little detail.
You can also have a lot of fun shopping for house address plaques. There is something out there that will suit any taste and decor scheme. Bungalows, stately brick, basic siding and log homes — these are just off the top of my head — but there would be something there that would fit each of these house styles.
Have fun shopping to outfit your home — it’s so worth it!
Have you seen some of that barnwood furniture making its way into homes now?
If you have a taste for rustic and casual, you’re going to love this. The wood is weathered and aged, full of character and neat textures.
It’s perfect for a rustic kitchen or family room.
I tell you, this stuff is definitely going on my go-to list of furnishings I want to use the next time we redecorate.
Anyone else feeling a rut? We’ve lived in our home for 15 years now. In the first year after buying the house, we were pretty busy redecorating most of the house. We painted, carpeted, paneled, put up fresh curtains and bought furniture. We got it all purty…and then lived in it!
Now, fast forward to now and I’m starting to see some tell-tale signs of wear and tear. I think it’s time to update and make things fresh again.
Winter is the perfect time to start pouring over magazines like Real Homes magazine to find fresh and interesting ideas. I even love to look at the holiday homes for inspiration because these homes are usually decorated with a stylish flair.
In fact, several months ago, we spent a week in a rental home down in Hot Springs, Arkansas. This was a little arts and crafts bungalow that I absolutely LOVED. The style and chic elegance just oozed throughout every room of the house. Tons of antiques and unusual quirks made it so cozy and welcoming. This is why choose HomeAway! The homes are gorgeous!
