Sports Room

Decided to post something that didn't have to do with the house. Here is some photos from the room I did for a client a few weeks ago.




I painted the mural over the bed. The only challenge with this room was finding bedding with orange and blue together. So, that the football player and baseball player decals looked good together in the same room. I was happy with the end result! :)

IKEA FLOORING

We have decided to go with Flooring from IKEA for our whole house! The Flooring is called TUNDRA, and is $1.29 per square feet! We will do the whole house for around $2000! WooHoo!

We liked the idea of having everything the same! Thought it would look better and more Modern. Now we won't have the stress of picking carpet or paying someone to put carpet in. We will do this floor ourselves! (yes, this flooring is white!!)

Rehab weekend #2

Okay, I finally got pictures developed from last weekend.



Here is my dog Muffins, she is thinking, "Why did you buy this place?"




We took down the paneling in the Living Room! There is mold growing in some of the insulation, so that will have to be replaced.


I had to hang my inspiration boards! My paint choices really clash with each other,..but I decided I didn't care about making everything "flow" in the house. I just want to have fun with it.



This weekend is when we decided we wanted an IKEA kitchen, and started to tear the top cabinets of the wall.


You can see what looks like the original wall color! They also painted over wallpaper at some point,..and its making painting for me not very fun.


My Friends and Husband attacked the big bushes that were left in the ground after we cut them back.

Men love using axes for some reason.... lol

I have planted a few things, but don't have pictures yet.



The real MOLD is in the basement.

We ripped out all the basement drywall that had mold on it.

I swear this will look nice someday. This part of the basement is under the Masterbedroom,...so whenever it rains, this is where is all goes and sits. yuck.


Dumpster #1 FULL! We have another one coming tomorrow. (friday)





I will have more photos next week..... thanks for viewing :)

New Fridge!

So, we bought our fridge last night. We started out by looking at smaller fridges,...but realized they just weren't BIG enough. So we got a big one!! I think we will be happy in the long run. :) Its glossy white to match our IKEA cabinets when we get them. We plan to go to IKEA to order our kitchen in the next few weeks.

Inspiration Boards for ME

I would first like to say, that I am my own worst Client. I have the hardest time decorating for myself. I just get so overwhelmed,...and confused, and I just like too much stuff!!! Then I need so much money for all the modern goodies that my heart desires. Thats life though! lol

The first board is for the Kitchen, Entryway, and Hallway.


I decided to be very daring and use alot of yellow and red in my new house. I plan on balancing them out with alot of white though. I don't want people to feel they are going to get a headache when they come over to visit.


This second board is for my Guest Bedroom.

I fell in love with this butterfly bedding from Target. I plan on painting the walls green, and painting the phrase, "Do it for the butterflies" over the bed. It is from the movie Little Nicky with Adam Sandler. It just makes me smile. I think it will be a cute little room. I know, I have weird ideas. lol

California Dreaming

My husband and I went to California for our honeymoon last year. We loved it so much. So, with our new house being a "Atomic Ranch" with a "flat roof", we are pretending we live in California, while we live in OHIO....


Photo of the ocean by San Francisco!












Driving on the Golden Gate Bridge!












I am obsessed with Palm Trees! This is one thing I can't have at my new house. :(


So the real point of this post is, the paint color I want to paint my house! Its called "California Poppy",..and its RED!




I feel its risky,....because we already are the youngest couple in the Neighborhood
, and the house already stands out. So,..do we worry about it,..or be ourselves?? hummm...
