How do you warm up your home?

June 6, 2007 Laurie4 Comments

So my sister is building her first house in College Station, TX. Yeah!! (This picture has the same elevation her house will have). Since it’s her first home she doesn’t have a lot of furniture or decor so I’ve been giving her my advice on how to “warm” up her house. I think that the cheapest and easiest way to warm up a house is with wall color, greenery, and rugs. What do you think?

I Lost in the Laundry Room

June 6, 2007 Laurie3 Comments

Well ladies. I’m sad to say that Jason won (for now) and the extra refrigerator which was in our garage is now in my laundry room. We got a new car which doesn’t fit with the refrigerator in front of it. BUMMER! I had big plans for that space – namely the Samantha Entryway Collection from Pottery Barn (picture below). Isn’t it beautiful? I haven’t done any decorating in there yet, but it’s going to have a beach theme.

The laundry room is also the “Time Out” spot in our house. So instead of loosing my temper and yelling, “Go to time out!” I’m going to keep my cool and say, “I think you need some quite time at the beach.” What do you think!?!

Anyway since I don’t give up that easily and still plan on having my “mud room” eventually, I didn’t want to spend too much on a cabinet to store shoes, winter gloves, etc. So I found this cute little rack at Wal-mart for $8.97. I bought 2 of them as well as these cute navy canvas bins that cost $1.50 each. Yeah!

For Mother’s Day, Jason promised me a day of shopping with Julie and Cheryl. We decided to go to Canton and we had so much fun. After a big shopping day with friends – aren’t you curious as to what all the loot looks like in their home? I am! So, here’s your chance to see it for yourselves.
