I figured it may not be exactly what the listing claimed, or made cheaply, or at worst that it would never arrive. But for $14 I couldn't pass it up. Couldn't be happier with it. So, here's what it looks like in my hallway. It was a little crooked when I took the first pictures but has since been fixed.<br />

Here's a before & after...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are three doors in this hallway, one of which I haven't gotten to yet in case I wanted to do something different. The bedroom door with black above faces exactly opposite the other bedroom door.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, on to more important things, like putting together a cat tree, a cat nook, a possible quail coop, and finishing the kitchen backsplash.</div>

Since the other room is almost done, with the sleigh bed and Bohemian stuff moved over for a new look, I finally had a chance to use the linens from Florence that my mom gave me years ago. The room isn't done yet, so consider this a sneak peek.<br />

We've refinished and put polyurthane on the floors, painted, and started this year's garden as well. Here is a sneak peak of the third bedroom.<br />

An antelope rug! How fun, and beautiful. But - expensive. I know when there isn't a price advertised on a website that it's very expensive (Stark sells it), and all the websites I've seen that sell this beauty have no price visible. I<i> could</i> save up and put one of these in my dining room, but, I think I'd rather stick with my $12 leopard print pillow.<br />

The "Resolute" sign is something my dad brought home from my uncle's bar, and the chalkboard was a $15 TJ Maxx purchase. I finally got around to putting them up.<br />
<br />
We might be selling our house soon, so yes these updates are a bit late or maybe unnecessary, but I hope whatever house we eventually move to will be able to accommodate them.<br />
<br />
More pictures of the living room coming soon.<br />

We are collaborating on a spare room she has, for which she just bought the most gorgeous gray-turquoise-greenish velvet sofa. She's got these two royal blue leather recliners that I think would go perfectly, and I've already bought her some black and white art. She just has to decide on a paint color!<br />

She re-uses and re-purposes everything she can, making old, forgotten details shine. The pictures below are of a recently completed house in Minneapolis, and it's currently <a href="http://www.kw.com/homes-for-sale/55130/MN/St-Paul/381-Case-Avenue/3yd-RMLSMN-4337785.html">for sale</a>. The third season of the show will have five episodes of the renovation of the "Case House," as she calls it. The pictures are amazing - someone will be a very lucky homeowner. I love that basement!<br />

(I also realized the "wow" feeling in my own house is rapidly decreasing and I need to get it back.) But here are some pictures I've come across recently that have that brand-new, clean, just-finished look to them. Inspiration that feels very fresh. Details that could easily be applied to a small house.<br />

Finish our home renovation. We've owned our home for about 2 1/2 years now, with only the third bedroom and second bathroom left to finish. I have to make a few more tweaks and makeovers, like the upstairs hall railing, kitchen backsplash and my dining room chairs. After that, I wonder if we'll move?<br />
<br />
2. Lose weight so I don't have to keep getting my rings re-sized (among other reasons, high school reunion(s) being one reason, not having to buy new jeans is reason #3).<br />
<br />
3. Paint. I'd like to make a night sky painting, a swan painting, and paint my old dresser something bold and glossy.<br />
<br />
4. Buy a super soft, plush red king size blanket , or a powder blue / seafoam green duvet cover. Or both.<br />
<br />
5. Help my friend decorate her new house (and put before and after pictures on this blog). First on the to-do list is to paint her octagonal coffee table.<br />
<br />
6. Take care of ALL my appointments, chores, tasks, to-do lists, etc.Once Upon a Time Baby Nameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10445800149825236516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875064417191848094.post-65542870874399848782013-01-21T19:30:00.002-08:002013-01-21T19:30:31.968-08:00Give your home a Valentine's Day treat<a href="http://littlehousewelldone.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-day.html">Last Valentine's Day</a> I made a special dinner and brought out the nice dining room accessories I had - table cloth, table runner, monogrammed paper napkins, fine wine, and the prettiest serving ware I had. The red roses my husband got me were the centerpiece, along with some nice candles to set the mood.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year I plan on making my home like a romantic retreat. Here's how I plan on doing it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Candles everywhere. Candles are romantic. If I had a fireplace this step would be easy, but I don't. So candles on the dining room table, the kitchen island, the bedroom, the bathroom, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. A pretty dining table, and one themed room.This might require fresh flowers. Usually girls get flowers from their significant other on V-Day, but I'm personally not a fan of cut flowers. I'd much rather get a potted orchid, so I will be making use of my new orchid and other plants. Maybe I'll ask for another flowery plant, who knows. Anyway, by one themed room, I mean one room with Valentine's decorations. Subtle is the best way to go, unless you have kids. I like to do a red or pink color theme, with our Valentine's Day cards, flowers and presents displayed, as well as themed food, such as heart shaped pancakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/02/heart-shaped-chocolate-chip-banana.html">Skinny Taste Recipe</a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Deep clean and cozy it up. This means plush blankets, pillows, rugs, and spots to relax. Possibly breakfast in bed. For me, it simply means cleaning my house so that there's room to relax together. Everyone is happy when the house is clean and organized. So go about this way: deep clean everything while your significant other is out, then make it pretty and organized. (Make a list, too. Change the sheets, scrub the tile, wash the clothes, file papers, do the dishes, dust, etc.) When they come home, I guarantee they'll be in a romantic mood.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. The present. Many people give gifts for Valentine's Day, but one of the nicest gifts I've heard of is doing something the other person has on their to-do list that they don't really want to do. Traditionally, I've seen gift certificates serve this purpose, like massage certificates, but it could be anything from cleaning cat litter to finishing a major project. My present to my husband is going to be finishing our third bedroom and making a space in there for his gaming. He's got a brand new monitor hogging my coffee table, and we've been working on the third bedroom anyway, so this is really a kill-three-birds kind of deal.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
(the room won't look exactly like this, but you get the idea)</div>
<br />
* Side note: If you haven't experienced the joy of getting gift certificates or gift cards, you're missing out. I know a lot of people who refuse to give gift cards, and want a personal touch on their gifts, but many of us struggle with budgeting and finances, so a $50 gift card for gas or groceries, maybe a trip to the bookstore you keep forgetting to go to, the restaurant you love most...priceless.</div>

They are based in China, have ridiculously slow shipping/processing time, give false tracking numbers, and are notorious for not giving you exactly what you ordered, and their sizing is extremely confusing. There are also no labels on the clothes, which would lead me to believe the clothes are made on the spot after you order them. See these sources for extra consideration:<br />

(Actually, I finished it a long time ago but just now got around to taking pictures.) We got the fabric from Joann's as well as the other materials - batting foam, staples, fabric spray... Let me know what you think. And take a look at the process and what that wall looked like before <a href="http://littlehousewelldone.blogspot.com/2012/08/new-headboard-in-making.html">here</a>. Keep in mind these are just the sheets and I haven't found the perfect duvet cover yet. I'm also thinking of switching the mirrors for something else, since they're too big.<br />

I would love to have a chalkboard front door so that visitors can leave a message if I'm not home. And if doing the whole door in chalkboard paint isn't possible, hanging a small chalkboard on the door instead is a good idea. I've seen this before on pantry doors, cupboard doors, kitchen and bedroom walls, and even bathrooms and hallways. I myself have a stick-on chalkboard on the inside of my cupboards that I write shopping lists and emergency numbers on. (I'll include a picture of mine at the end here.) I've also learned that you can buy or make chalkboard paint in multiple colors, so your front door does not necessarily have to be black.<br />
