    08 September 2011

    I saw this wreath at Williams Sonoma, and thought it was lovely. But for $100? Not so lovely. You know what’s coming next, don’t you??

    Front Entryway Before

    06 September 2011



    I am excited to introduce you to our next project: the front entryway!

    Isn’t it completely underwhelming??august 2011 033
    Here is what I’m thinking so far:august 2011 033 2 1. New paint color!
    2. Move my $5 light fixture into the hallway~I’m thinking something a bit more grand… check~yay! (see here)
    3. Move this little dresser out. We may have a need for it in our bathroom.
    4. New rug?
    5. The dresser. I’m still debating whether to paint it or leave it.
    6. Goodwill chairs! New paint, new fabric
    7. Uhhh…sweep the floor?
    8. Gallery wall: I’ve been gathering and can’t wait to put it together.

    cables, and cords, and wires oh, my…

    31 August 2011

    This is what greeted us when we came in our back entryway:march 2011 128 1Look at that crazy mess of cords and wires! We had our computer big main box (what in the heck is it called?) to the left of the desk, but it was near a vent, so we needed to move it. We had the idea of drilling a hole in the countertop (it’s laminate~if you have a drill, you can buy the attachment to make the hole at any hardware or home improvement store for around $7-$8)march 2011 126 1

    entryway light (again)

    29 August 2011

    I had a little itch to switch some things around this weekend…
    We (well, my husband) moved my $5 light fixture to the hallway. I still love it, but wanted something a little more substantial for the entryway.
    Enter a sassy brassy $2.95 fixture from Goodwill. I started spray painting with august 2011 010 1
    the Valspar metallic clearance spray paint I used here (do you ever start spray painting and remember that you forgot to take a picture??)
