I wanted to share a recent update I did in the family room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have these two large windows in my family room that I really didn't want to add curtains to, but they needed something more. They just looked so plain.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So on a whim one day, I went to Home Depot and had some primed MDF cut to the exact measurements I needed. I used my brad nailer and put them up.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I filled in the nail holes, caulked any gaps, sanded and then gave it a couple coats of white semi-gloss paint. I just love the extra detail it adds to that wall now.</span><br />

I love the bay window in the dinning area which adds a few more feet to the kitchen and sure is nice to have that extra space to walk around the table. (picture from listing)<br />

As you can see, the back wall is a dark chocolate color. I liked it, but it was just a little too dark for the room, so I wanted to change it up a bit. Also another thing that I didn't love were the aluminum mini blinds - the whole house has them, which will slowly get changed out. So first came down the valances.<br />

I removed the outlet covers, etc. and gave it two coats of paint - the same color as the rest of the kitchen. I also added new caulk around the windows, which helped cover some of the remaining chocolate paint around the windows.<br />

<br />
Just changing up the paint color brightened the room so much. Then we added some white 2-inch blinds that I found on Walmart.com - Better Homes and Garden brand. There were very inexpensive compared to the other home improvement stores and they are great quality.<br />

The vanity really needed some love. It looked pretty worn and the sink was so shallow. So while the plumber was at our house replacing all the toilets, we had him remove the counter and sink.<br />

I love how it turned out! I would still really like to frame out the mirror, but because of the placement of the faucet, there may not be enough room, it's pretty tight to the mirror. So glad to have it all done.<br />

The couches, end tables, lamps and desk we brought with us, but shortly after moving in I found the entertainment center on a classified website and we also purchased our first big screen tv (my birthday present last year). But I was also left with lots of blank walls to fill. Fast forward a year and here it is. AFTER:<br />

One project that I hope to do - maybe next summer is dress up these windows a little more, maybe add some trim and switch out the mini blinds (that's what came with the house). But we'll just add those projects to my huge "to do - wish list" but for now, it will have to do.<br />

I bought these end tables years ago as one of my first furniture purchases. They're really nice heavy duty oak tables. Since we moved last year, I've added other pieces of furniture but they have had more of a walnut or espresso finish, so I decided these could use a little face lift too. I used my handy dandy General Finishes Gel Stain - Antique Walnut (purchased on Amazon). I only did one coat and called it good.<br />

It's just enough stain to give it a whole new look, but also not making them too dark. I love how they turned out.<br />

But I must say lately, they're pretty steep - I can't justify paying $20-30 for a single pillow even when they're super cute and especially with kiddos who might get it dirty in a matter of minutes. Even shopping at discount stores like Ross and TJ Maxx, it's hard to find nice pillows for super cheap. So I found the next best thing - pillow covers!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had seen pillow covers at Hobby Lobby before, but had never tried any. One day while shopping online I came across some really cute ones. I ordered two of each of these for $4.99 since they were half off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEh_ER_ewTKOAmmv1kwEpKE-3ePITp_ZKr6eSuuR8poqs5-tl9RP2x6wUsywegWJJX4OHa5WsSczQTcg50_HnPhyphenhyphenTXKkb4qC5i1BR1CwWYscDpPUX5iwei-y5c7WQrj6i1HdVn2lykYIA/s1600/DSCN3511.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEh_ER_ewTKOAmmv1kwEpKE-3ePITp_ZKr6eSuuR8poqs5-tl9RP2x6wUsywegWJJX4OHa5WsSczQTcg50_HnPhyphenhyphenTXKkb4qC5i1BR1CwWYscDpPUX5iwei-y5c7WQrj6i1HdVn2lykYIA/s640/DSCN3511.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also got 4 of the plain linen ones for $2.99 each. I put them under the pattern ones just to add more depth and because I love pillows. I didn't love the matching throw pillows that came with our couch, so using cheap, but quality pillow covers just makes me happy. I love how I can easily remove the covers and wash them when needed too. They are nice quality covers with a zipper for easy on and off access.<br />
<br />
Amazon carries a huge selection of pillow covers as well. That's where I found the ones with sayings, like this one and the pictured above.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These came in a 4-pack for about $16. They have plenty of seasonal ones too, that way you don't have to buy all new pillows and worry about storing them, you can just switch up the covers.<br />
<br />
I love how the pillows look on the couches now - even though I end up picking them up off the floor several times a day because the kids are always messing around doing something.<br />

It adds just a little more to the wall, too bad that huge monitor is there, but that has to stay for the hub!<br />

I was doing some online shopping one day and found this awesome clock on Hobby Lobby's website. It was 50% off and and with free shipping it was a great deal. <br />

It's a big clock too - 23 inches in diameter and 4 inches thick. I also wanted a clock with real numbers, not roman numerals, lines, or anything crazy. This way my boys, a few still learning to tell time on a clock, can hopefully figure out what time it is too. But most of all, It's a great addition to our family room. </div>

So after moving into our house, it took me forever to figure out what I wanted to hang on the walls in our family room. I knew I wanted to do some family photos and individual pictures of the kids, but putting it all together was the hard part. So after a few months, I decided to just run with this idea.<br />
<br />
I found these cool grayish wood colored frames at Michael's.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEYlaLyg5Dpoqkr6nGpvux5x1tl5B07Cybgdmn-Hg89ZAsB8lJ7VjIupsjR4aHgXYKtFlEtmKMk-6dtuB6w6a9XL4lpjNCOoIKVA4kyJuheQUf_ONL-sMRWqOWHi-Ba8Ru73Tx4w197VY/s1600/DSCN2259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEYlaLyg5Dpoqkr6nGpvux5x1tl5B07Cybgdmn-Hg89ZAsB8lJ7VjIupsjR4aHgXYKtFlEtmKMk-6dtuB6w6a9XL4lpjNCOoIKVA4kyJuheQUf_ONL-sMRWqOWHi-Ba8Ru73Tx4w197VY/s640/DSCN2259.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also found these clips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I moved the glass and put it behind the matting then hot glued the clip to the matting. This way I can easily change out the pictures without having to take down the frames. I love how they turned out.<br />
<br />

Now it feels like the family room is finally getting put together.Kathy@DandelionsandDustBunnieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007409159430179893noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333624514706326988.post-45799433284093040602017-03-22T15:12:00.001-06:002017-03-22T15:12:10.471-06:00Garage OrganizationOn our moving day, we lined one side of the garage with shelves and filled them with lots of bins as we took them off the truck. The bins are filled with all my holiday decorations, the kids' outdoor toys, basketballs, sand toys, gardening tools and other odds and ends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We added one other shelf in the corner with water bottles, coolers and water jugs. The two big drums are filled with water for storage. The brown shelving was left by the previous owners, so we use that as our shoe rack. It also houses our tools, paint and supplies, and small containers filled with other odds and ends.<br />

On the wall by the door, I added two pieces of wood and attached hooks for the kids jackets, back packs and umbrellas.<br />

We were anxious to get the garage in order since we moved in the fall, we wanted to be able to park our cars in the garage during the winter months, I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's not a big garage, but we made it work and we can park both cars in there which was a must.<br />

GarageBefore we even started moving in, the first project I wanted to tackle was priming the walls in the garage. The garage at least had been finished off, insulated and sheet rocked, now it just needed a coat of primer. The brown walls just needed to be lightened. The shelving was left by the previous owners, which is a great storage feature.<br />

You can see even the ceilings were the same too. It just needed a coat of paint to help brighten up the space.<br />

I didn't end up adding any paint, just primer and that made a world of difference. This is a blurry photo - but you get the idea of what a difference it made.<br />

The garage is a dark space to begin with since there are no windows, but priming the walls white helped brighten things up quite a bit. I was so glad it was done just in time for moving day.Kathy@DandelionsandDustBunnieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007409159430179893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333624514706326988.post-43294865139726584142017-03-20T09:19:00.000-06:002017-03-20T09:19:44.950-06:00We took the Plunge . . . FOR SALETowards the end of July last year we decided it was time to start looking for another house. We had bought our house as newlyweds 16 years ago and decided it was time to find something that better suited our family's needs. We lived in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom multi-level house, but after our baby girl came along, we just needed some more bedroom space. The kitchen and living areas were fine, but with only 3 bedrooms, we had 3 boys in one room and it was tight - really tight. We were torn though at the thought of leaving our friends and neighbors. So, at the end of July this happened.<br />

We listed it on a Friday and by Sunday it was under contract. We were excited and stressed at the same time because we hadn't been able to find a house we wanted to buy. But, by that Wednesday the deal fell through because the buyers realized their current housing contract wasn't up until November, so they had to back out. We listed again just a couple days later and by Sunday evening we were under contract again. After that it was a whirlwind with inspections, looking at houses, packing, etc. Within a week though we found a house we really liked that had multiple offers. We offered $6,000 more than the asking price and got the bid and were under contract. After about a month of working with the lender, doing an inspection, getting a new roof (see photo below), and getting in a 10 day vacation, we finally had a firm date and this happened in mid-September.<br />

We also rented a U-haul this same size (26 ft.) and loaded everything we could, minus furniture. We weren't sure how much help we could solicit from friends and neighbors, so we hired out the heavy stuff. It's wasn't the cheapest method of moving, but definitely saved us in the end and was well worth the money. <br />
<br />
We were super excited to find a house with all our "wants" too, including enough bedrooms. <br />

I found four of these 5x7 boxes at Hobby Lobby. I didn't want them for the saying, but for the box.</div>

It's a hollow, three dimensional box. I'm sure you've seen them around with all kinds of sayings on them. They can be pretty pricey too.<br />

Having the hooks for the boys to hang their towels has been so much better than the towel rod we had before. They actually hang up their towels now and they don't look like they were just randomly tossed on the towel rod either. Much more kid friendly.<br />

I found these matching frames on clearance at Michael's. The pictures are 10x13 and were taken at J.C. Penney's. I love how they turned out. It's fun to see the bathtub photos.<br />

It was your typical builder grade mirror and I wanted to give it a more finished look.<br />

<br />
I bought some trim, had my neighbor do the angle cuts and painted it white.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I hot glued the ends together and made a frame - very professional I know.<br />
<br />

Then once it was dry, I attached it with velcro command strips to the mirror.<br />

I found this cool looking one at Walmart of all places. It was about $25.00. It was the perfect size, color and I loved that it looked like a pocket watch. <br />

<br />
I ended up hanging it right above the new towel rod. That way it was easy to see while in the tub or getting ready in front of the mirror.<br />
<br />

I love it! I can tell the boys, "when the big hand gets to the ___, it's time to get out of the tub." That has worked pretty good too.

The wall above the towel rod was a little blank since I took down the vinyl. Before:<br />

So I found an "H" somewhere along the way and painted it navy, added a piece of turquoise scrapbook paper and then added another empty frame around it to make it look a little more chunky.<br />

I'll update you down the road with all our changes and projects, but for now, let's finish the bathroom project. <br />
<br />
In order to update the bathroom I needed to find a shower curtain. I wanted to find one with some blue tones, but it also needed to be neutral - for boys and girls. I needed to find just the right one before choosing my paint color too. That way I could match the shade of paint perfectly with my shower curtain. I finally found one that I liked that wasn't too girly at Target. Bad pic but here it is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Then I headed to Home Depot to get some paint that was paint and primer all in one. I picked one of the rain drops and matched the color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These little cuties take up most of my time. The rest of the time I'm busy doing everything else. So finding a few spare moments for fun projects doesn't come that often. Before my baby girl came along though I was determined to update the kids' bathroom. Here are a couple before shots.</div>

This second picture is the wall behind the door. I had done a faux finish with a plastic grocery sack. But I was getting a little tired of the look and decided I want to try my hand at installing board and batten and some hooks for the kids' towels.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went to home depot and bought the primed MDF boards. I had Home Depot cut the wood for me. I painted the wall white, then installed the boards with finishing nails - by hand I might add. It was such a pain, but it turned out just as I had envisioned. I caulked and sanded all the holes, then gave it a couple coats of white paint. I left the existing baseboards and simply added a 1x2 along the bottom so I would have a straight edge. You can see it in this photo. </div>

Here you can see a close up of the hooks, which I bought at Walmart. Now the towels don't end up on the floor anymore.<br />

On the top, I added the same 1x2 board, to make a small ledge. I just love how it turned out. It really brightened up the room too.</div>

This was a beginner project for me and I think I did pretty good. More bathroom updates to come. <br />

<br />
Find a cute embellishment like these cupcake picks I found at Walmart last year. Add some ribbon and a little border to your cute frame then you're done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2m9M01nxnStX2aOogxCpmFMVGwVcDxk_OOOI0YQbffqzAjnHGBoKQTz7kGSrfC0Z3p_fEIRsPKtoCwIez63c11v4LYNoWQhgJwOXfeJ7Zr3DQGeaufF_hDgNi4LthOyH1ua-i8IXrTo/s1600/DSCN7643.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2m9M01nxnStX2aOogxCpmFMVGwVcDxk_OOOI0YQbffqzAjnHGBoKQTz7kGSrfC0Z3p_fEIRsPKtoCwIez63c11v4LYNoWQhgJwOXfeJ7Zr3DQGeaufF_hDgNi4LthOyH1ua-i8IXrTo/s1600/DSCN7643.JPG" height="558" width="640" /></a></div>

Now I have a frame to display these cuties.<br />

Happy Halloween!!!Kathy@DandelionsandDustBunnieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007409159430179893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333624514706326988.post-81628358251811333022014-07-16T08:00:00.000-06:002014-07-21T16:31:04.718-06:00Photo PedestalI've seen many versions of these photo displays floating around blog land. But I finally got around to making my own. I bought a 2x8 at Home Depot and had it cut into 7 inch pieces. I also picked up the clip, small candlestick, round wood piece, finials and paper flowers at Hobby Lobby. I gave them all a coat of Dark Walnut stain.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5O_3ch-NutmjiOrj-smVf6GGKVQWLRUh8IIkrZJzqgFYFR5kxU6L6syNjsk07SXbcKiXNum5GbCgurXzMccnGIp9YM4cdXxMpl1xm2EbuYn0DcdhVibB0yTMxeQXAOXfz-J7xIqcQDdY/s1600/DSCN6986.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5O_3ch-NutmjiOrj-smVf6GGKVQWLRUh8IIkrZJzqgFYFR5kxU6L6syNjsk07SXbcKiXNum5GbCgurXzMccnGIp9YM4cdXxMpl1xm2EbuYn0DcdhVibB0yTMxeQXAOXfz-J7xIqcQDdY/s1600/DSCN6986.JPG" height="408" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I just hot glued all the pieces together with a high temp glue gun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I made a ton of these. I think they would be perfect for a birthday or Christmas gift as well. You can display a photo, recipe, saying, or reminder card, lots of uses.<br />
