Monthly Archives: January 2010 So going back to my “a BUNCH of projects for $500 or less” goal, I found a $13 chair. So what’s the problem, you ask? I then ignored the “bargain bins” of fabric and purchased $70 worth of fabric for this chair. (Crud!) But, I was smiling ear to ear because I love the fabric... Over this past week I finishing painting the walls, finished putting down the stain, painted all the trim (just about), and just yesterday I put down the primer over it. Here’s what happened, and some of the “issues” that got in the way. 1 comment January 25, 2010 - 6:34 pm
Looks like a lot of work, but it will be worth it when it’s done!  As I mentioned before, I plan on purchasing some used pieces and making them mine. I plan on starting small with some type of buffet, small wardrobe, or perhaps a dresser. I really want to make it unique and I’ve taken some inspiration pieces to hopefully follow. no comments First off I’d like to say that normally I’m a very level headed person when it comes to spending money and using credit cards. In the past none of my credit cards had a balance carried over. That was, until I bought a house. no comments  Before I get into this post, I would like to tell you how we managed to figure out what worked best for us. The very first thing I did on our house was walk in the master bedroom and rip a piece of the wallpaper off, not knowing ANYTHING about wallpaper (other than ours was... no comments  Our bed has finally been moved back into the bedroom! We finished moving everything last night and when I woke up this morning I expected to be staring at a fireplace, but I was happily staring at my beautiful “Smoke” colored walls and chocolate floor. It’s such a wonderful feeling to have the floors done but... 3 comments June 2, 2010 - 5:34 am
What do the concrete floors feel like to walk on everyday? They look gorgeous! January 31, 2010 - 9:16 am
They really are not too bad. Any places that you want to sit on the floor or “play” (pets, kids) just have some rugs. Those are the only times I don’t enjoy being directly on the floor, especially since I like to sit on my knees. Just the feeling that we can spill anything and not worry so much makes up for everything else. Thank you! January 30, 2010 - 11:28 pm
What do the concrete floors feel like to walk on everyday? They look gorgeous!  I woke up today thinking it was just another normal day of painting and project contemplating. That was not the case. I’m going to let you in on a little family secret about our fireplace before I show you what I managed to do to it. My mother demands that I do not touch the... no comments  There’s one thing that I’m beginning to dislike about changing my house and that is painting the trim! Agggh. All of the house had almond (or I as I like to call it, yellow) trim and doors here there and everywhere. I probably would have left it but for some reason I just couldn’t deal... no comments  I’ve been so sick of sleeping in the living room so I decided to split up the work and finish the bedroom first. Let’s start where we left off….. 1 comment November 21, 2010 - 8:04 pm
Love the way the floor looks. What brand and color is your wall paint? How has the floor help up so far? What sealer did you use? Nice job. |
