The story of my console
Life has been so busy with the end of summer fun, school shopping, and school starting. I am finally happy that I have time to post on my most favorite topic. Re-finishing furniture. Now that my theater room is done, I have decided that the console I painted is one of my most favorite pieces I have done in a long time. This piece of furniture was such a lucky find. We knew that we wanted a built in unit for the television but didn’t know if we were going to go totally built in or find a cool piece to go in the middle. We were walking around the…

Theater room – the finished product!
I am loving the new paint color of my theater room. I can’t believe how much the room has transformed from the dark blue room we moved into, to a more calming gray. I seriously thought there was no hope for this room when we moved into the house. Here is the before. A dark blue dungeon. Here it is after. I found a gray couch to match the walls and put two chairs on the upper step. We recently went to London, and I knew I wanted a London themed room somewhere in my house. I figured this was the perfect room to do it since it was somewhere…

It’s a paint party
One of the first things we did for this theater room is to prime and paint everything white. I always use either Kilz, or in this case, I used Zinzer brand primer. It really neutralized that horrible blue color. The can lights are in and waiting to be painted around, and all the molding is done and painted in a pure white satin paint. My hubby built the columns the go along the wall, and even added a little bit of light in them for a fun touch. He found LED lights that you can cut and have adhesive backing so he could stick them in the openings of the…

Covering that color!
We bought this house with the intent of remodeling everything. Some rooms in the house are better than others. There are defiantly two that tied for the worst. The girl’s bathroom, and our theater room. We decided that the first level we are finishing is the basement, and the theater room is on that level. Here is the beautiful before…the day we moved in picture of this lovely room. The picture seriously isn’t doing the room justice. The color is so dark, and the only lighting in the whole room are those sconces. It is a long dark dungeon. We put can lighting in the ceiling, and went to town…

Pop of color
We moved into this house two years ago with the intention of re-doing just about everything. This is not our first house reno and we are very seasoned DIYers. This house is just taking longer to complete than I hoped it would. There were a lot of not so fun projects that we needed to take care of first. I was prepared to be patient, live with the house the way it was until we got to each room, but I couldn’t do it any longer. I had to make a minor change on my main level to stay sane this winter. I had to do something with the dark…

All wrapped up
I can’t believe that the start of school is approaching. It always has a way of sneaking up on me. I start to panic when I think of the start of school, because that means that the holidays are just around the corner. For the past few (a lot) of years I have had issues with storing my wrapping paper. With the completion of my craft room, I was determined to have a place to both organize and store all my wrapping supplies. I have seen so many wonderful ideas on pinterest and I was debating on whether or not to incorporate the wrapping station right into the room, or…

Go Bold
It is pretty and hot here today. Put me right in the mood to show my bright additions to my yard. If you are scared of color, the yard is a perfect place to start playing and adding color to your home. I wanted to go bright this year and decided to use reds, apple greens, turquoises, and yellows to make my yard pop. The yard is such a fun place to add color because it is easy to do, and easy to change. I change colors every year by just using spray paint. We sprayed the black table red and found these way fun cushions at home goods. The…
