    28 September 2011

    Uhhh..I was going to talk about the gallery wall process, but I forgot it was early out for school today. We’ll get to it, I promise. For now, how about some fabulous freebies I spotted?

    $2 in free mp3 music at Amazon MP3! using code FALLMP3S

    *go to Amazon MP3, choose the song you want to purchase, look up in the green box in the upper right hand corner, and right by the blue $ sign, it will say “redeem a gift card or promotion code”, click on that and then enter code FALLMP3S. Then, go choose another one :)

     

    Free 8X10 photo collage at Walgreens.com using COLLAGE at checkout. Good until the 30th. looks like it is now expired..sorry!

     

    Free $2 on your CVS Extracare Card  ($2 to use on anything at CVS) click on the bottom where it says “pledge not to be a money trasher”  For the first 500,000 people…

    Happy Bargaining :)

    I wanted a wall full of good memories and things that have meaning to us. But I didn’t want it to look too uniform or matchy…more of a collected over time look.sept 2011 140 1

    more gallery wall touches + Amazon deal

    22 September 2011

    I took the famous gold letters from Hob Lob (I got it for $5 while I was visiting in Utah last spring and it broke in my suitcase…see the crack at the top?), sprayed it with some kelly green spray paint, and then sanded it down to show some of the gold. I’m trying to incorporate some little splashes of color as you could see with the chairs and the doorknob since I’m using mostly color pictures for the gallery wall….sept 2011 006 1

    framed door knob

    21 September 2011

    This was our first apartment in Logan, Utah. 379 East 200 North. We were on the bottom right, $275 a month utilities included. Such good memories there…1st apartment 1
    This was the kitchen. I asked the owner if I could paint the cabinets and he said sure, so I bought a gallon of FLAT white paint off the shelf at Kmart, got a cheap brush, and just went to town and painted right over those bin pulls! Ahhhhh! I had no idea what crimes I was committing…

    new blog address & par-tay!

    20 September 2011

    I don’t know if any of you noticed, but 320 Sycamore has a new blog address!  It used to be www.granvillehouse.blogspot.com and now it’s 320sycamoreblog.com Wahoo!

    address 

    You will still see the blog the same way, nothing will change for subscribers, blogger is still my host, but my blog address was the most confusing thing about my blog.

    When I began (3 years ago!) I thought just my family would read my blog and they all know what the Granville House is (from It’s a Wonderful Life), so it made perfect sense to call it that since 320sycamore wasn’t available. It just got confusing though when I would say my blog was 320 sycamore, but the address is granvillehouse blah blah blah….

    original blog headerdoes anyone remember my original header??  :)

    Anyway, it should be a good thing. I wish I could have gotten just 320sycamore.com but 320sycamoreblog.com was the next best thing.

    new header smaller

    Advice to anyone starting a blog! Before you announce it, tell your BFF about it, launch it, ANYTHING, go buy the .com for the name of your blog. (you can look at places like godaddy.com) Because if you are the least bit successful,  the value of your blog domain name will go up a lot and you will be kicking yourself that you didn’t buy it back then for $20.

    I worked with the wonderful Emily @ Designer Blogs to make the switch and tweak a few things (like my navigation bar!) We’re working on getting the search button over there on the sidebar back up to speed, and I’m trying to make some more improvements, but it’s a good start. It’s my blog’s birthday in October and I want to talk more about my blogging journey, and hopefully a few things I’ve learned along the way (is there anything specifically you would want to know about this?), we’ve got an entryway and kitchen to finish up, and we’ll talk paper like I promised.

    AND

    it is time for our annual Under $10 Under 1 Hour Project Party!

    under 10 1 hr 2011 1

    Put it on your calendar….it’s always a good time.

    Can’t wait!

    “I have on my office wall a wise and useful reminder by Anne Morrow Lindbergh concerning one of the realities of life. She wrote, heart implement 1  That's good counsel for us all, not as an excuse to forgo duty, but as a sage point about pace and the need for quality in relationships.”

    scrabble gallery wall art

    14 September 2011

    You know I’m working on the front entryway (I guess proper folk call it the foyer), and I saw an idea on Pinterest that I had to run with.
    I spotted this picture on a square wooden board at the Goodwill and thought it would be a perfect candidate for $1.95.
