IKEA KITCHENS

Cody and I can't wait to buy a house! We will not be able to buy a house till December 2012. (I'm counting down the days!) I sit and watch HGTV and daydream about a house I don't even have yet. I can't wait to paint and design again. Remodeling kitchens and bathrooms are hands down my favorite thing to design! I hope to install and build an IKEA kitchen! I know my next home will not be ultra contemporary like my last house. I really love ADEL cabinets from IKEA....

I feel like ADEL cabinets will give me the contemporary feel that I like, but won't scare away future buyers when it's time for us to move.
Decor PadIKEA also has other white kitchen cabinets that I love. It's amazing how easily you can just change the door hardware to make the kitchen have a completely different style. I think that is a key factor to consider for resale in the future. Decor Pad

My Union Jack Painting

A few weeks ago I did an INSPIRATION post with images of the Union Jack pattern. I had planned to decorate my bedroom in pink and orange. I decided I wanted to just paint my own Union Jack painting to hang over my bed. I started by making this design in Photo Shop...
I wanted there to be a heart in the center with the word love on it. I have always also loved pink and red rooms, so I thought why not add red to my bedroom also?
I am fortunate to own a projector that I purchased many years ago. It has helped me with many projects. I purchased my canvas, paint and small paint roller from Hobby Lobby. It only cost me $22 because everything was on sale! I already had blue painters tape, which is perfect for making the flag sections of the Union Jack pattern. To start the project I made the room really dark and then traced the design onto the canvas...After I traced everything I laid the canvas on my dining room table and started rolling all the layers of paint on...The red took about 6 coats of paint! I decided to just free hand the word love on the heart so it would be my handwriting. I am pretty happy with the end result.For only $22 it was a great way to create a focal point for over the bed. It added the extra color I needed on the plain white walls and pulls the color scheme together. The small pillow in the front I have had for about 6 years. It was from Target and I have always loved it. It didn't work in my last house, so I am glad I finally had a room it matched!

(I can't find nightstands for my bedroom! Once I do I can finish the decorating and post pictures! Stay tuned...)
