Project house to home

As many of you know I take a zillion pictures.

I actually haven't taken as many of me and Chris

as I usually would and that makes me kind of sad.

So I am making a valiant effort to make sure I

carry my camera around like I used to. In my

last house we hardly had any pictures up of us.

I think pictures on the wall are a very important

step of making your house a home. I'm unsure

of the arrangement I want to do, but I am thinking

I am going to hang this on the wall by the stairs.

I bought the cute wood plaques on the top and

sides from Walmart. And then one of my favorite

sayings on the bottom....Life is not measured by

the number of breaths we take, but the moments

that take our breath away. <3

These sweaters had a good run, but it

is time to retire them and make them into

something new. Leg warmers you shall be :)

Chris and I found this gem at the DI.

I love it! My idea is to paint it and

find a lamp stand that we can wire

it with and make it sit on top like a

yard light. I'm thinking around 4 ft

tall.

I am thinking of painting this mirror black

and putting it in the entry way above a medium

sized table.

I have some canvas's left over from Xmas

and I have some fun ideas for them!

Thanks to Pinterst.

A lot of the scrapbook paper below is going

to be used on the canvas's.

This one in the library.

This one in the living room downstairs.

I'm thinking two of these with a shelf in the middle.

In the library

I love this one!

We are thinking of doing our upstairs bathroom

in brown and turqoise so I am trying to get

some ideas.

In the downstairs bathroom.

I heart words.

I think I like this one better for the

bathroom upstairs, although I need

more dark tones to accent with.

Maybe I will rough up the edges

with some brown paint.

I absolutely love these paintings we got

on Black Friday. The best part is that you

switch their direction to facing each other

or facing away from each other at the bar.

I told Chris that when he comes home and

see's it facing away from each other he'll

know he's in the doghouse. lol

This is our living room downstairs.

I want to paint the wall the clock is leaning

up against an accent color. I'm thinking sage

green. Then I will hang the clock in the middle

of the wall. I'm trying to think of what to put

on the sides of the clock or somewhere else on

the wall so it's not so bare. Any ideas???

Loving me some DI purchases.

The cast iron mirror and the brown

vase are both from the DI.

Chris has known how much I have

wanted a book case. We picked one up

a few weeks ago and Chris put it together.

I love it! I still haven't moved my books

from my other shelves, but I'm liking

having something to display our pictures

on. :)

Chris's Grandma made the sign on top for us.

She's so cute. I don't think I am going to leave it

there. I'll probably find a place on the wall for it.

Maybe above the window.

I bought this little diddy while I was in

Seattle. As you can see it is currently

working as my bookcase. I don't mind

it either. I still haven't figured out when I

am going to put in the little baskets. What

do you have in yours? Probably kid's stuff

for most of you.

Chris happened to have this recliner sitting at

his brothers, which ended up working out

perfectly in the library. I wanted it by the window

because I love to come in here and read with the

window open when it is sunny outside.

We weren't sure about our this kitchen

table because it looked so red in the store

and it even looks red in this picture, but

it actually blends pretty well with all the

tones in the kitchen. Now I just need to fin

a good centerpiece. I also want to find

some fun things to put above the cupboards.

No greenery or anything that will collect

spiders or dust, just some simple things.

 So many projects to do! I better get to it.

Love,

Remarkable, crafy ME
