<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For 5 out of the 6 weeks, my hands have been covered in various shades of white, off-white, pinks, and orange paint. I don't want to pick up a paint brush for a very long time, or roller for that matter. At the start of the 6 week challenge it seemed like such a long time to start and finish just one room. Well, it really boils down to 5 weeks but who's counting? They say time flies when you are having fun but I can tell you it goes just as fast when you aren't having a good time. Okay, shopping is a lot of fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I've learned, if you tell the kids they can't use the playroom for 6 weeks, all their toys will end up in the living room, dining room, kitchen and even the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom, Barbie and friends were having a spa day in the sink, trying on very expensive perfume and lathering up with lotion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also learned that I'm very lucky to have such a supportive husband that is willing to make a 100 trips to Lowes, Ikea, Target and yard sales for goodies, that his insane wife must have now, not later. The man is a saint for turning a blind eye at what I've spent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It helps too, to have super talented friends with amazing photography skills that are willing to come take photos of your kid's playroom. Thank you Cara, I totally owe you a re-do of your bookshelves. If you are in the Maryland area, I suggest you check out her site <a href="http://www.walenphotography.com/">Walen photography.</a> She also does real estate photos.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to take a minute to thank everyone that has offered kind words and tons of encouragement while I questioned every choice I made. I know its not that interesting to hear me go back and forth about whether the pom-poms should be orange or hot pink. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And last but not least, to my 2 little girls that are growing up way too fast. I hope you always have warm and happy memories of your childhood home and of your very pink, very girlie play space to call your own. Also, keep it clean because this shit was expensive.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">How cute are these pom-pom trimmed curtain panels? If you remember my original plan first mentioned <a href="http://northernyankbecomessouthernbelle.blogspot.com/2016/04/my-participation-in-one-room-challenge.html">here</a>, then you know my plan was to disassemble the interior closet and paint it orange. As the challenge went on, I began to waver with that design option. The interior paint is still a bright white, the metal shelving would have been a pain to take out, and I was just feeling done with painting as I mentioned <a href="http://northernyankbecomessouthernbelle.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html">here.</a> I had thought several times about using drapery panels to hide away the toys, but knew I didn't want just plain white.This is a fun room and needs fun elements to it. If you haven't caught on yet, I make a lot of purchases off of Etsy and I've never been dissatisfied. You can find these cute curtain panels here at, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChesapeakeCottage?ref=l2-shopheader-name">ChesapeakeCottage</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to week 5 of the One Room Challenge. It is a true race to the finish line at this point for all of us. If you are new to my blog, welcome, you can see what I started with <a href="http://northernyankbecomessouthernbelle.blogspot.com/2016/04/my-participation-in-one-room-challenge.html">here.</a> I chose the playroom because it hadn't been touched since we moved into our house 10 years earlier. The walls were a pale looking green, window treatments didn't exist, no soft flooring or anywhere for the kids to sit and play, and not to mention the poor lighting. Some organization existed but I knew I could do so much better (you should see my pantry). So, I decided this was the perfect or insane way to make this room over in just 6 weeks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made tremendous progress this past week and I am feeling very confident in the choices I've made. But then I look at my to do list and I get overwhelmed again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stripes are up! The painting process I don't mind so much, it's the taping off that is time consuming. Very time consuming, and if you aren't meticulous about taping, then you will have areas that need to be fixed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I painted one side of the door, but I am still committed to doing the interior side of the door a bright pop of orange.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I gave the walls a couple of days to dry and hung some artwork. I had my girls photographed a little more than a year ago (Thank you Rachel), I've had a majority of those pictures framed, and hung in the upstairs hallway. I chose one to have enlarged (online at Ritz Camera) and sent to <a href="https://www.framebridge.com/t/frame-style">Framebridge</a> to have custom framed. They always include a personalized note which I think is such a nice touch.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a trip to Ikea to get more frames for some personalized art, grabbed a couple of bins for the toy closet and a couple of the small faux sheepskin rugs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The faux roman shades are in (here's a sneak peek) and everything is ironed. I already had the tension rods. It's nice to have them up and some added privacy. This room is typically a mess, and I don't want to see it, let alone any one else.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another fun package arrived, my handwoven <a href="http://www.serenaandlily.com/la-jolla-baskets/m10425.html?color=Pink#start=2">Serena and Lilly basket.</a> I purchased the size small for their doll clothes, but in hindsight wish I had bought the medium. Of course, I always could purge a few outfits to make enough space.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used some of the wallpaper that will go on the feature wall to hide the contents of books on CDs and music. I can't wait to see it hanging up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know the closet is kind of boring just being white. Maybe I can come up with something to make the baskets stand out?</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though I have on my to do list painting the interior closet with a pop of color (orange), I'm slowly being swayed to leaving it white. I want to be DONE painting, I mean really, really want to be done. Also, not impossible to remove the wire racks and leave the anchors in place, but extremely difficult. The paint is still a nice bright white and I received the custom drapery panels today, so that will in fact hide a great deal of the interior closet which wouldn't show much of the orange to begin with. Did I mention I want to be DONE WITH PAINTING? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've started scrubbing the floor and some of their toys, finalizing placement of things. Here's what I have left to do..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> <strike>Sand the door, </strike>paint the door, 1 side of the door is finished.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">touch up a few paint spots</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>paint the interior closet </strike> most likely off my list of to do.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>reorganize the toy closet.</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">also, I am having custom made drapery panels to hang on the inside of the closet. <strike>I need to purchase the hardware. </strike> *the panels are in, and I'm hoping to have them up before the day is over. *update, I put the hardware up and installed the drapery panels! Can I get a boo-yah?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>frame (ikea frames) personalized art and hang up.</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>hang up their pottery display shelf.</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>install new hardware.</strike> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">wallpaper and add decorative molding. *update* wallpaper has been cut, not hung yet, and the molding will arrive on Friday.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>replace the old ugly registers and replace with pretty ones.</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">paint and hang custom monograms (recently added to my must have for styling)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>add a little wallpaper to the pottery barn teen magazine wall holder that will now house their books on CD and music,</strike> as well as hang it up *update, begging the Husband to put it up tonight.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">deep clean room</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">style it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">have it photographed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">drink some Sangria</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ha! I was feeling really good about where I was at this point but not any longer. This might become another sleepless night for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously a total of 3 weeks and some change, but now the monstrosity is done and back to housing toys. Toys that are completely labeled I might add. I ordered the rest of the knobs, and as I write this post I'm hoping they will be in by week's end. The brass pulls haven't been installed yet because it requires drilling 1 new hole, filling the existing one with wood putty, sand, paint, and then wax. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The ceiling is not finished and neither is the light fixture. I need my husband to get those 2 things done. I added Lilly Pulitzer paper pom poms for fun. I've had them for sometime now. I got them when a store I frequent, was selling a ton of stuff for just a buck.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to a neigboring Community yard sale last weekend and found something unexpected and awesome for only $10. It's from Pottery Barn teens and it's a magazine wall holder. I plan on using it for their books that come with CD's. I might even change it up a bit if I have the time. Also, another little 5 minute project got done. I took a light switch cover and an outlet cover (only 1 each in the entire room) and I spraypainted it a bright orange.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another thing I can cross off my list is all the base molding is finished. It actually didn't take me long at all. I usually use a bright white for all my trim but chose to go with a soft off white instead. The walls have been patched, so the real change with wall paint can begin. For me, that can be the most exciting part of a room makeover. I feel a color change can re-energize a room. We (by that I mean my husband) uses a laser level to mark off the lines. Because walls are never level, we have to do some taking steps back and eyeballing. My biggest tip when using painters tape is to be sure to pull the tape off when the paint is still wet. Right after that last paint stroke, pull it off. I am starting with the very top row to paint and the 3rd row.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And just cause everyone loves a good mess that isn't their own to clean. *Update* this little mess is cleaned up and gone, but the entire room currently looks like a bomb went off. I've had to push everything into the center of the room in order to work. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Next week my plan is to have...</span><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Ceiling completely finished.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Light fixture cover needs to be up. I got the remaining light bulbs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">My faux roman shades have been shipped. I want to get them up, iron the cafe curtains, and <strike>change out the rings to smaller ones.</strike> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">walls at least 80% if not completely finished.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to get started on the closet and maybe even painting the door.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I'm still waiting on the wallpaper which means framing out a section of it with molding is going to be pretty tight time frame.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I need to order the brass floor registers.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just called the wallpaper store and got an update it will be here on Friday. I'm doing my little happy dance. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe the halfway point is already here. I feel like I have so much left to do and not enough accomplished. I'd be willing to bet that most participants are feeling the same way I do. I just need to keep reminding myself to take deep breaths and I've gotten a lot more done than I would have otherwise.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I painted the ceiling which was a major pain. The acoustic ceiling tiles absorbed a ton of paint. I need my husband to run some killz paint over a few stains and then just touch up those areas. The antiquated light fixture is down and waiting to be loved in someone else's home. The new light fixture (Source post at the end of ORC), is up but not fully installed. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If shopping were an Olypmic sport, I'd win gold, hands down. I managed to get a lot of things ordered. I still have lots of painting to do and I've yet to pick out wall colors. Last week, I painted 1 unit of the 3 piece Pottery Barn unit, and got the second one started on. Once I get them all painted, I have to wax them to seal the paint. Here's my list below of what's done and what I still have to do.</span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Paint the ceiling. Currently we have very ugly ceiling tiles.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Replace the outdated ceiling fixture.</strike> It's been ordered!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Patch and paint the walls in a pink ombre.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><strike>Paint window casings</strike>, baseboards, and door.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Paint the interior of the closet a bright bold color. I'm going with Orange.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Finish painting the shelving and seal with wax.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Thin out some more toys. (I'm consigning a ton this week).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><strike>Window treatments</strike> and hardware.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Cleaned windows</strike></span></li>
<li><strike style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">Purchase a rug</strike><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"> and get new floor registers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Floor cushions</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Artwork for the room.</strike> I'm really excited to reveal these at a later date of course. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Small shelving for their pottery creations</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I've begun to label some of their toys.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">I forgot to add last week new hardware for the Pottery barn toy shelves. I haven't ordered knobs yet, but my pulls will ship soon. I also ordered this amazing wallpaper to go on just one wall.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite blogs has always been <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/#home-1">Calling it Home</a>. Linda, twice a year in the Spring and in the Fall, hosts a one room challenge. Every Wednesday, a very select and talented group of Bloggers, share what they've accomplished on 1 space over a 6 week period of time. It's pretty inspiring to watch the entire process go from concept to reality. Also, throw in some incredible sponsors and you know these rooms will turn out amazing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the first time I've decided to join in. You won't find me as part as the invited, sponsored group on Wednesdays, but you can find me as well as lots of others like me, linking up every Thursday. I'm pretty excited and nervous, but this is the perfect kick in the pants to get me going.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The room I've chosen is the playroom. In 6 weeks time, I'm hoping to completely transform the playroom from green and tired looking, to pink and chic. My son is 12 now and barely enters the playroom, but my girls, 9 and 4, dominate it with all their toys. Too many toys, if you ask me, not enough if you ask them.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The picture below is around 6 years old.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is bittersweet to see all these toys my son once enjoyed so much. My girls have taken over this room, and most of whats in there today are various shades of pink.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Before we started remodeling our kitchen, I scoured through Pinterest creating board after board of things I really liked. This helped me narrow down what we could do in the space we had. I knew I wanted a way to display my ironstone but also be able to use it. I found my inspiration from this picture below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IpK5aSb-FGw/VpFfignGc_I/AAAAAAAAChM/IwD311YLT1U/s1600/ikeahack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IpK5aSb-FGw/VpFfignGc_I/AAAAAAAAChM/IwD311YLT1U/s320/ikeahack.jpg" width="245" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have loved to have used the Ikea bookcases shown, but they measured too high. Hiring a Carpenter to do it all was an option, but a costly one. (We still need a Carpenter to add molding and give it that built-in feel). I spent weeks looking online for the exact measurements I needed, but couldn't find one with 3 shelves that would fit. My next option was to find a small enough bookcase with 2 shelves at a reasonable price, and close to the height I needed. I found these bookcases below on Amazon. I've purchased 3, which leaves room under the counter but not enough for a fourth bookcase.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The plan now is to hire a Carpenter to raise the bookcases slightly, hide the gap between the top of the bookcase and underneath the counter, and attach molding along the fronts to hide the fact they are individual bookcases.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I use the magazine holders from Ikea to hold all of the kid's learning materials like workbooks, extra paper, and worksheets from School they might need. The ironstone vegetable tureen on the bottom shelf holds things like pencils, calculator, and erasers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Currently filling out the space is our one stop pet feeding station for both the dogs and cats. The original idea came from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/554083560379811691/">Pinterest</a> from an uploaded user photo.

<span style="font-size: large;">The mat was a very easy DIY project. I used a place mat from Ikea, cut the indoor-outdoor fabric we used for the window treatments and hot glued the fabric in place. I then used Scotch Guard to treat the fabric and give it another layer of protection.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I've decided to give blogging another go around. I enjoy the creative process and this really motivates me to get projects done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">We started our kitchen last year and had some issues along the way, which prolonged the process. It's 90% finished with just a punch list left to do. I've decided to show you all, the breakfast nook first, which is something I've always wanted in a kitchen. Along with having the nook for eating, and snacking, we have also started using it as a place to play games. Originally the bookshelves were going to be used just for my ironstone collection but after visiting friends in North Carolina and seeing their nook/game area, I was sold.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so pleased with how it all turned out. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Please excuse the boxes on the right. We have extra flooring that can't be returned and my Husband has yet to move them to a new location.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this cow painting, my Husband not so much. This painting first caught my eye while reading <a href="http://missmustardseed.com/?s=eulalie">Miss Mustard Seed's blog.</a> You can find it here on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/78604259/cow-painting-eulalie-giclee-print?ref=listing-shop-header-0">Etsy.</a> In a couple of weeks, I will be revealing a second painting from this same artist, that I've purchased and currently having it framed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My inspiration for using an Ikea bookcase as a bench came from this picture below. Instead of using baskets, I opted to purchase the doors separately. I also changed out the knobs that came with each door to match with the hardware I chose in the kitchen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I upholstered the bench myself which was easy to do. If you are looking for a good tutorial on how-to and a material list, I included a link, <a href="http://h2obungalow.com/2014/05/upholster-a-cane-bench.html">h2obungalow.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The fabric I used on the bolster and bench is no longer available, but I found it <a href="https://www.fabric.com/buy/0349505/jaclyn-smith-animal-print-blend-robins-egg?cm_mmc=pinterest-_-social-_-product-_-0349505">here.</a> Fabric.com is one of my favorite sources for fabric. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had my 2 bolster covers made for me by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CleusaSordiDecor?ref=l2-shopheader-name">CleusaSordiDecor</a>, again found on Etsy. Fast turnaround and wonderful craftsmanship.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know why I didn't capture a picture of the smaller linen pillow in the middle but you can find out the information from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/156702446/natural-linen-12x12-pillow-cover?ref=shop_home_active_7">SkippysCorner</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I still haven't solved my fabric dilemma, in fact I found 3 more fabrics I like. I am waiting on the swatches to arrive to make my final decision. My cabinets are being installed in 2 weeks (yay, can't wait) in the meantime I have been shopping for hardware. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My initial thought was to go with all bronze since my current light fixtures are, and we recently purchased a bronze kitchen faucet. However, I realized that the look isn't working for me any longer and I want to do something entirely different for my kitchen. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-36CS2YSid08/Vesuc04m3kI/AAAAAAAACTU/qMTu1C85hdU/s640/blogger-image-586741503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-36CS2YSid08/Vesuc04m3kI/AAAAAAAACTU/qMTu1C85hdU/s640/blogger-image-586741503.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That picture was taken shortly before everything was removed. As you can see the light fixture, the faucet and the cabinet hardware are all bronze. It just makes for a very dark kitchen even though this room is flooded with light. The granite counter top will be the same but now I want to add brass.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, I haven't been blogging but I have been doing a lot of projects both big and small. Now that the kids are back in school, I will try and get you all caught up. This post is very picture heavy, and is about my stairway leading up and also, the upstairs hall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the top of the stairs looking down. The color reads orange-ish but it's really a soft cream color. I started with patching all the nail holes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's looking up the stairs, and the color of the walls is much better shown here. The stairs I painted white a couple of years before, and the runner is a thick jute rug I purchased this year, I believe from Wayfair.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At the top of the stairs and to the left is my son's bedroom. I painted the other side of his door navy to match with his walls, so some of the inside door frame is also painted navy. More on his room on another post.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a close up. This job required 8 double rolls which adds up money wise, and then of course installation of the paper. I plan on having this wallpaper for a very long time, so for me the investment was certainly worth it. The pattern name is Asian Scenic, comes in different colors, and is from York Wallcoverings. If you are in the Maryland-Pennsylvania area, I highly recommend Hurst Painting and wallpapering. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My kitchen is in the process of getting re-done. It's a long story but currently all I have is a new wood floor. I do have a microwave and refridgerator but other than that, that's it. Since, the kitchen is the new focal point of my project, I thought in the meantime I would choose a new paint color and window treatment. I am having a hard time on both fronts. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's no secret my love for Etsy and all the wonderful, and affordable things I find on it. For me it's like Brimfield but without the trudging up and down and hauling fabulous finds. This post is about recreating a look from a magazine using Etsy as my source.</span><br />

T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06455958732025883000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626130013450919523.post-74176969650623213552015-05-18T10:49:00.001-04:002015-05-18T10:49:43.021-04:00Estate sale of a lifetime<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am very choosy about the Estate sales I attend. Mostly because they do require a considerable drive, and getting all the troops up early and out the door to get there for opening. I have to want at least 5 items from the pictures online. If you don't already subscribe to an email list of upcoming sales, then I suggest checking this <a href="http://www.estatesales.net/">one</a> out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Really good companies will upload lots of pictures of whats to be offered. This is invaluable tool in determining which ones to attend and which ones don't feature items you are searching for. Also it helps to set up a game plan by remembering which rooms to go to first in order to get that special item. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure you read ahead about the rules of each estate sale. Some sales do not allow small children to attend, whereas others might not care. Also, there are usually rules about bringing in bags, which generally isn't allowed. Yes, this makes things very difficult to shop. What I tend to do is once I enter, I grab one of the empty available boxes inside and use that to shop with. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't be afraid to open drawers, and search through those boxes in the basement or attic. There is treasure to be found. One of my favorite Bloggers <a href="http://missmustardseed.com/">Miss MustardSeed</a> once found an antique chandelier complete with crystals inside one of those cardboard boxes for just $4.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have seen some people at sales haggle for better prices with mixed results. You are better off on a Sunday snagging a big ticket item as companies generally make everything half off. It's not always advertised that things go for 50% on the last day of a sale. I managed to score a beautiful antique piece of furniture for half the price just by going back the next day. It was worth the risk to save that extra money.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This particular sale I went to on Saturday was a bit of a haul. It took close to an hour to get there, and required some serious sucking up to my loving Husband to not just get me there but get me there before it opened. Which meant we had to get up at 5:45 to get ourselves ready and out the door by 6:15. Let me tell you it was well worth it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me show you my finds at ridiculously low prices. I have never gotten this lucky at a sale before.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Starting with the curtain panels I made using the no sew method of ironing. The fabric is called Robert Allen Neo Toile in coral. You can find it <a href="https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/robert-allen-at-home-neo-toile-coral-fabric-.htm">here.</a> The Duncan Phyfe buffet isn't perfect but I got it for $35 dollars from my next door neighbor. I've been toying with the idea of painting it like this one below.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'm sharing some of the sources and details of my multi-purpose dining room/entrance/and office space. I first spotted these <a href="http://www.target.com/p/threshold-x-stool-green-floral/-/A-15114934?clkid=3cnXVpVq4VxlSSP0bqTznT0GUkVRwjTBRQqXQM0&lnm=81938&afid=rewardStyle&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002">x benches</a> on the blog <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2015/02/winter-mantle.html">Dwellings by Devore</a>. I loved the green print on them which fits in perfectly with this room and having them in front of the fireplace just added something to it. The price is amazing because they are on clearance, so I would grab them sooner rather than later.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This chair I found a long time ago at a consignment shop and had it reupholstered. It's starting to show it's age, so I'm beginning to think about having it recovered, I've ordered lots of fabric swatches but nothing has really stood out to me. The pillow was custom made a long time ago as well and was used in my middle daughter's nursery. The dog prints were found at Brimfield which I highly recommend. It's one the largest antique flea markets you can find. The green table was bought at Antropologie (no longer continued), lamp at Neiman Marcus. Here's the <a href="http://jhousetawk.blogspot.com/2011/11/ruffled-burlap-lampshades-tutorial.html">tutorial</a> of the lampshade.</span></div>
