Spring Home Makeover with Simple Stencil Today my bedroom makeover continues with the walls. If you remember, yesterday I showed you how I transformed my bed into an inviting nest. My room “before” was just a place to lay your head and wasn’t inviting in the least. To me, it felt outdated, run down and mismatched. To begin the makeover, Kaytlin and I gave the walls a good coat of chocolate brown paint to match the brown in the … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Bedding, Pillows & Sheets from Sleepys Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Sleepys When we moved into our house ten years ago, I was on a decorating spree. I made sure everyone in the house had a place of their own that they loved... but neglected our bedroom. I had thrown up the curtains and wall décor from the old house and when our bed spread wore out I purchased the cheapest one in green I could get. When Amy and I started planning our Spring Home Makeover, I instantly thought of the … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Installing Pergo Laminate Flooring
by 5 Comments
Spring Home Makeover with Pergo Laminate Flooring A couple of weeks back I was telling you how we had to pull up our existing floor for foundation repairs. Because we were starting from scratch with the floor again, we decided to go shopping for Pergo. We loved the ease of installation and with the kids and pets, the quality/scratch resistance was a huge plus. Our “two day” foundation repair turned into a six day job (I will post more … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Shopping For Pergo Laminate Flooring
by 4 Comments
Spring Home Makeover with Pergo Laminate Flooring We have been fighting cracking walls, stuck doors and sloping floors for a few years now. Our house is only 13(ish) years old, so we were hoping it was just initial settling. When our upper floors started to crack and stick we finally decided to contact a couple of experts for their opinion. Both agreed that our foundation needed piering and our slab needed mud jacking. *insert whooping … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Mohawk Home Area Rug Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Mohawk Home Area Rugs When I purchased the area rug for our front living room, I purchased the one I did mainly because it was in our price range. I had spent a bit of time hunting for just the right one, so when I found one the right size and in my price range that would work... I bought it. The colors were me... I’m all about green (just check out my walls), but there really is just too much green in that … [Read more...]
Terminix AllClear Mosquito Mister Lantern
by
Spring Home Makeover with Terminix AllClear Mosquito Mister Lantern Summer is one of my all time favorite seasons of the year... except for the bugs. I can deal with pretty much all of them, but mosquitos are the worst by far. Not only are their bites a nuisance with the red itchy bumps they leave behind, but mosquitos carry diseases like Arboviral Encephilitides, Dengue Fever, Malaria, West Nile Virus and Yellow Fever. It’s no … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Liftmaster 8550G Elite Series Belt Drive Garage Door Opener Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Liftmaster 8550G Garage Door Opener We purchased our home about ten years ago. It was almost three years old at the time, so our existing garage door opener was at least thirteen years old. I was beginning to worry about it a little, as it seemed to be getting louder and louder. We had gotten to the point that we would leave the garage door open if we knew we’d have to leave during nap time because it … [Read more...]
Little Tikes Americana Sort ‘n Store™ Toy Chest (Box) Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Little Tikes Americana Sort ‘n Store Toy Chest Ethan moved into his big brothers room when he was almost two. He inherited everything from the full sized bed to the white shelving on the walls. All of which were meant for an older child... but we have been making it work. With Ethan’s expanding toy “library” came the feeling of clutter. Toys laying out in the open on shelves works, but when you have a lot of toys … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Carpet One Tigressa SoftStyle Rug Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Carpet One Tigressa SoftStyle Rug Our lower living room flooring has been an issue for us for a while now. The carpet was old, beat down and stained so we tore it out and replaced it with faux wood. Because our house is a California split with four levels, the lower living room is on a concrete slab. The floor down there gets incredibly cold in the winter and stays rather chilly through spring and fall as well. … [Read more...]

Spring Home Makeover with Loft Beds by ZooStores.com Recently I’ve noticed how cluttered Emma’s room has become. It seems that there is a perpetual mess and there never seems to be a place or room for things. I had the bright idea that a loft bed might be the answer. Because she’s only five, I didn’t want a full size one... just one of the cute low loft beds that comes to about my shoulders. After a little searching I found … [Read more...]
