Love this bike pillow - looks great in the front room with all the cream, white and touches of black.

No mudroom? No problem.
I've always wanted a mud room ... but since I don't have one, I've found the next best thing. They are over the door hooks! I love them ... you simply hang it over the top of the door and hang up all the stray jackets, sweatshirts and coats.Solutions - I love them! :)
the purple curtain.
I have one purple curtain. It's in the dining room ... looks great with the red, black and white.
In the back ...
We are loving all the concrete - our goal is to get grass back here ... During spring break, the guys worked on building a little bike shed. We will one day get a garage back here but for now this works just fine.The front door (with a touch of white) -
Since I painted the inside trim white - I decided to give the outside trim a fresh coat of white as well. This trim is so old and we will refinish it someday but for now ... the white paint does wonders!
Thanks White Paint - You make everything look good! :)The front door ...
The trim around the front door needed white paint ... I pulled out the blue tape and got busy. It looks so nice with white trim!And since I had all the stuff out - I painted a bunch of other trim around the house as well!
Amazing what paint can do for a room! :)
Art for the bedroom doors ...
I was asked to do a design workshop at my house back in February (I called it: Create Something Beautiful) and as part of the tour and class, I told the teenage girls that they could use stuff from around the house to add style to their spaces/rooms and lockers.For example - The old doors upstairs have not been refinished yet (they are full of dings and desperately need new paint)... I used my son's artwork to make them look better.
How? I used framing tape and posted his art up! BOOM! Instant style and charm.
What do you have around your house that could use a little 'style update'?
Black and white roses ...
Open the little closet door ...
Look at those pretty shelves - wrapped in pretty contact paper :) ... I usually don't use contact paper but when I found this stuff - I just had to give it a try! I'm glad I did because it's easy to clean and it looks really nice tucked away in this little bathroom closet.Magic Cover paper / black and white rose pattern.
The bathroom closet makeover ...
New contact paper - I really like the black and white roses ... so pretty.
The old wood shelves in the bathroom closet were covered with old, white paper. I ripped it off and covered it with the new stuff.
ta-dah.
From Drab to Fab .... Ugh! It was such a little, horrible space in my house. Now it is so happy and when I open the door, I feel positive energy.
Ahhhh - a little shabby, a little new, a little old. It's just perfect!The Shabby Chic Shower Curtain ...
Love this! I found this (on sale) at Target and felt like doing a little 'yahoo happy me' dance on the good price ... I found this the same day I found the towels and what happened next was amazing --- keep reading.New Towels.
I made a quick stop into Target a couple of weekends ago and was surprised to see all their towels on sale! I love new towels ... anyhow, I found some really pretty industrial gray towels and some Shabby Chic white ones and just had to bring them home!It's funny how new towels can inspire an entire bathroom 'makeover'! :)
