More decorating

Living room:

This sign by the front door says "God bless our home and all who enter"



I got these two decorative green boxes at Dollar General on clearance last year. They match the living room pretty well! And the Live, Laugh, Love sign - I have that quote on several different things throughout the house.


Here's my dining room:





This will probably be it for awhile. Can't think of any other updates I need to show for now.

Have a great week!

Kitchen Backsplash

I finally got the backsplash installed last weekend and we love it! It looks like tin but it's not. And it's easy to install too!

We chose silver because it goes well the stainless steel appliances.






Thanks for stopping by here to visit us!

Guest Bathroom

I finally got my wallpaper border up the other day so I can show you this room now! We call this the "guest bath" but it's actually the main downstairs bathroom when we don't feel like going around to the master bathroom or upstairs to the other one. Just more convenient, lol.

Here are the before and after shots:

The entry is back there below the stairway.

Just inside the door, before.

After

A close up of the faucet - I love it!

And the tub area, before.

And after. Rich put the tub on a different wall and still has tiling to do obviously. In due time!

A linen closet that he built in.

And this is my "frugal find" for the day. I got a black matted square picture frame at a "thrift store" for 25 cents, took it apart, and removed the nursery rhyme picture that was in it. I inserted a section of the wallpaper border and put the frame/mat back together......and wa-la! Not sure I like the square frame right next to the large oval mirror though. So it may get moved, who knows!

What's even better is I bought two 15 ft. rolls of border, ok? Well, I put all the border on the walls and had ONE picture left on the end of the roll, just enough to put in that frame. Didn't even have to open the second roll (didn't measure, just guessed when I bought it). I only had about 1" of border left and can return the unopened second roll at Walmart. Woo hoo!

I'll show you the backsplash in the kitchen tomorrow!

Office / Stamping Room

This room is off of the kitchen/family room area. It's the office (computer armoire is in there) as well as my stamping area (which I have no time to play at, lol).






Pictures of the "guest bathroom" coming tomorrow!
