TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #58 & FEATURES

WELCOME TO TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME!

I hope you all had a good weekend and an even better week ahead.

It looks like it is going to be a busy one for me.

I am happy to say our youngest son has been accepted to Texas A & M University where he will be pursuing his Bachelors Degree in Psychology. This week we will be finishing all the enrollment paperwork.

We also have our daughter's birthday coming up on Wednesday  and so many different errands to run.

On a sad note, our oldest son is deploying again today, yes, going back to sea for a while.

Please keep these fine men and women in your prayers for a safe return home.

 Now, lets take a look at last week's features.

Ashley from 3 Little Greenwoods shared the most beautiful bedroom she just created for her little daughter.

What a beautiful space! The color scheme is perfect and every detail is amazing.

 Mindi from My Love to Create left us all amazed with her sisters closet/laundry room makeover.

You just have to go see this post.

It is the most amazing room renovation I have ever seen.

Beautiful job! 

 Noreen from Crafty Journal created a beautiful eyeglass holder using a simple pot holder 
that you can find at Dollar Tree. What a cool idea!

 Gail from Purple Hues shared with us another beautiful craft. She is so creative. Her foam flowers are so pretty!

 Terry from Forever Decorating found a french style china hutch at a garage sale for $40.00 and turned it into a gorgeous piece of furniture.

 Kim from Exquisitely Unremarkable helped a friend stage her home for sale.

Kim did an amazing job. Beautiful details!

WALL ART/USING WHAT I ALREADY HAVE

Hello, everyone.

This week is going so fast. Can't believe it is Friday.

Today I would like to share how little by little, I am changing the original decor I had in the living 
and dinning room area and updating it it to a more modern look.

I did most of our living room a few weeks ago. 
You can see that post here and now I am working on the dinning room area. 

If you remember, I told myself I would not spend more than two hundred dollars making the changes I wanted, well, I am being hardheaded about it, LOL so I continue to use my imagination and try to use what I already have.

With this in mind, I decided to use the wall art we already had and update it to give it a different look.

If you don't remember, this is the way it looked before.

The first thing that I did in this room was to remove the valance and add grommets to the existing drapes.

Since the pictures did not match very well with the rest of the new decor, I decided to cover them using a piece of burlap to which I stenciled three different Fleur de Lis designs using a natural color paint.

I took the frame apart and attached the fabric using very tiny finishing nails.

And the best part id that the picture is still underneath, so I can change it to the original look at any time.
Our new furniture will complete this room soon, so until then, I am just making these small changes.

I am sure by now you have noticed I also changed the glass on the small wall sconces.
I was going to remove them completely when I realized we had some white glass shades from an old lamp, 
so I decided to keep them and just change both of them.

I have one more frame to finish for the other side of the window and then I hope this room will start coming together.

Thank you all for stopping by and I hope you have a very enjoyable weekend.
Until next time!
