My entryway console table makeover is finally finished! I already know that people’s opinions will be split on this, but I ended up painting the console table rather than trying to use gel stain to try to preserve a natural wood finish. After looking around the living room and music room (i.e., the two adjoining...

Okay, y’all. I’ve heard you loud and clear. After getting your input here on the blog about painting my console table in the entryway, I also put a poll up on my Fabebook page, and after looking through over 575 comments, the overwhelming majority of people thought that I should leave the console as is...

Our bedroom is finished!! And with this, the main areas of our bedroom suite are finished — the foyer, the walk-in closet with the laundry area, our bathroom, and now our bedroom. I still have one more area to finish (the storage closet), but that will have to wait a while. At least for now,...

Last night, I crossed a big project off of my “to do” list for the bedroom. I finished sewing the duvet cover for the bed. So now, all of the bedding is officially finished, and my beautiful bird fabric has a much bigger presence in the room. The process of sewing a duvet cover is...

Our new bed is finished! I finished the upholstered bed base on Monday, and then my mom came over yesterday morning to help me get the headboard hung on the wall, get the bed base moved into place, and get our mattress moved into the bedroom. I’m so happy with how this turned out! I...

The upholstered headboard for the bedroom is finished! I’m so excited to finally have this project finished. It was one of the biggest projects left on my “to do” list for the bedroom, so with this done, I feel like I’ve cleared a pretty big hurdle. The other two big projects remaining are (1) finishing...

I’ve been searching high and low for a striped fabric to use on the bed that brings all of the colors of the room together in one fabric. I was originally looking for a wide stripe, but the more I tested out wide stripes on my bedroom mockup, the more I realized that wide stripes...

I’ve been working on my new lamps over the last couple of days, and while I didn’t quite get both of them finished, I did at least get one finished. I may make some tweaks, which I’ll explain when I show you what the lamp looks like so far. But even without those tweaks, I’m...

Today begins my final three-week push to get as much done in our bedroom suite as possible before I take my end-of-the-year break. I haven’t done much over the last four days. Just as I said I would, I took off on Thursday (which was Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S.), as well as the...

I realized a couple of days ago that I could get the bedroom suite foyer finished pretty quickly since there are no really big projects for this area, so that’s what I’ve decided to focus on before I start sewing draperies for the bedroom. So yesterday, I pulled out the bench for the foyer corner...

I finished installing my grasscloth wallpaper in our bedroom suite last Thursday, so I’ve had a weekend to live with it. I’ve had three days to look at it, live with it, and be surrounded by it, and I love it more and more with each passing day. There’s nothing like grasscloth wallpaper to add...

I made my paint color decision for the bedroom dresser, and I got it finished yesterday. What I realized when reading the comments on yesterday’s post was that there was no possibility for me to choose a color that everyone would love. The responses were so varied, and everyone had a different idea. Some people...
