Back in Black


Heart of The Home - Kitchens - Rate My Space - HGTV

Now I'm wondering what my stove would look like if it was painted black...

I still want the wooden "icebox" facade on my fridge and the cabinet door beadboard facing on the dishwasher

I like the stoneware crock on the island (maybe would be good for a butter dish)

I also started wondering how the beams on the ceiling would look in my kitchen....


Then I noticed that it wasn't beams, but an old ladder - and it's over the sink! Too cute!

Something Old, Something Prim

Not sure exactly where I would want to put a display like this, but I like the looks of it

This is the cabinet I think we should do in the middle bathroom. And I've got PLENTY of long wooden boxes!

Containing Myself

Not sure what it is about this space that I like - but it feels "homey." I really think the old tin can with wildflowers is kinda cool, and I love the old screen door on the wall.

I am drawn to the idea of arranging flowers in an old pitcher - I think that the sunflowers & whatever those big red flowers are caught my eye as looking especially country.

There are a couple of things on this shelf that I like - the basket with the collection of "stuff" rather than just flowers and the bowl with the ivy and a little pillow in it! Cute!

Mowed Over?





Well, the main parts are done:
Tile is down, lighting is up (check out the John Deere sign camouflaging the off-center electrical box for the light!), repainted, new curtain, new cabinet, new mirror, and new fixtures.

That's our step-grandfather's old tackle box on top the the cabinet. So glad that it has a home!

Still need:
shower fixtures, some more towels, baseboards, new door, maybe a few more wall hangings or knickknacks, refinish and repaint ceiling

Yes, Deere

HGTV John Deere Bathroom idea

Here is the plan for Spring Break:

The back bathroom (boys' bathroom) has been stripped down so that we can
1) rip up the old tile
2) scrape and repaint the ceiling and walls
3) re-tile with the gray/blue ceramic tile
4) get the white spacesaver cabinet from Walmart
5) get green, yellow, white, and maybe blue towels from Walmart (possibly sew the striped fabric as a trim on them)
6) get & hang up towel rods, etc.
7)get and put up light fixture - I don't know what kind I want yet, though

You repair things with tools. You FIX things with a hammer.
