This is the time of year for spring cleaning, but it's also a time when a lot of people begin remodeling projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently finished remodeling our<br />
<a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitchen-remodel-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">kitchen</span></a> and <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/06/fireplace-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">family room</span></a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It seems that once you start remodeling one room, it kind of keeps spreading throughout the house!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our newly remodeled space felt so bright and fresh that we decided to continue the paint and trim work into our living room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIRXtanAopMgcM8gfk3vgAmmBqGoy7kP3u6bx8MGK81YuE07-hNQQAwQ2gxHMATnDYAHN03tOW1WnkNrBB4DnY-XILwIJgEVnc-UFlM0wa0Yr-JChj88EN8mG18VozPG7wbNoayKO05Sv/s1600/PicMonkey+Collageliving3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIRXtanAopMgcM8gfk3vgAmmBqGoy7kP3u6bx8MGK81YuE07-hNQQAwQ2gxHMATnDYAHN03tOW1WnkNrBB4DnY-XILwIJgEVnc-UFlM0wa0Yr-JChj88EN8mG18VozPG7wbNoayKO05Sv/s400/PicMonkey+Collageliving3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Living rooms are often a popular room to remodel because it is usually the first room people walk into when they enter your home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I start a remodeling project, I always begin by searching for my "inspiration".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually head to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and I recently came across the home design website Laurel & Wolf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
Here are a few elements my "Dream" living room would incorporate...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1- I think choosing the right paint color is one of the easiest ways to make a huge impact on a room.<br />
I love a room that feels light and bright!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIl5rxFuA6htzXmCTEo5Yg86qkE5nKI3qN1g5FtlVE0mNdvAEhZmsHkR0LToUSNTeuwVwlO80hSLSul4DxeTZpCHCzKtXYtqZsaR1OYS1I-zMIwJ0BitwmBtAcUWO0qq9ySJuq2cMbSEZ/s1600/95889a16a5132a8e3c8925a95d56c5c7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIl5rxFuA6htzXmCTEo5Yg86qkE5nKI3qN1g5FtlVE0mNdvAEhZmsHkR0LToUSNTeuwVwlO80hSLSul4DxeTZpCHCzKtXYtqZsaR1OYS1I-zMIwJ0BitwmBtAcUWO0qq9ySJuq2cMbSEZ/s640/95889a16a5132a8e3c8925a95d56c5c7.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
2- Choosing furniture to fit your needs and style is also important.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love furniture that is classic and comfy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMewAOh1-_dAS00aownEAVoB6oc7JU5teHIm7u4_2dGDB5XKEqGV8OezR0KItiAvNvyYXHphkTWvrN9MDQfFccQXjfxfJokAWiZD2IbmPkbXOw_mXKvuOFsIpsECDaSnIH6e48Quv4oizz/s1600/f0c82938589eee18d326a99457761b4f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMewAOh1-_dAS00aownEAVoB6oc7JU5teHIm7u4_2dGDB5XKEqGV8OezR0KItiAvNvyYXHphkTWvrN9MDQfFccQXjfxfJokAWiZD2IbmPkbXOw_mXKvuOFsIpsECDaSnIH6e48Quv4oizz/s640/f0c82938589eee18d326a99457761b4f.jpg" width="576" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
3- My dream space would include some tufted furniture, just like the picture below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This room is beautiful and the couch and bench are just my style!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/10630901/Phillips-Creek-Ranch-Shaddock-Homes-traditional-living-room-dallas" target="_blank"><img alt="Phillips Creek Ranch | Shaddock Homes" border="0" src="http://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/20119427033af134_8-0224/traditional-living-room.jpg" height="750" nopin="nopin" width="500" /></a></div>

<br />
4- I would also incorporate a few accent chairs to my room.<br />
It's a great way to add additional seating and a good place to sit and read a book.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy01N4YeucCPaP7zPBsFh8wDvI7gJXvQftF_xNXkb1HV4bMgQS5_gi9NJRGvIlrWmfHR5W6ZldjgsOet2hGUc2UZx0u0yA07cLl5KU5TcEPiknu9k-4Svd7EvXbtNNBvM1Nc9mN_3xPveh/s1600/Msimon7_zpsgbdgdyji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy01N4YeucCPaP7zPBsFh8wDvI7gJXvQftF_xNXkb1HV4bMgQS5_gi9NJRGvIlrWmfHR5W6ZldjgsOet2hGUc2UZx0u0yA07cLl5KU5TcEPiknu9k-4Svd7EvXbtNNBvM1Nc9mN_3xPveh/s640/Msimon7_zpsgbdgdyji.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
5- My "dream" space would also have woodwork. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It could include beams, a planked ceiling, a shiplapped accent wall or chunky wood trim. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It adds such character to a home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZK93GS7qFM7sRy1Mc8WiL-ecxx1qW4DDLqFFa9feoB-N3kQSiqY6YNJUbkCfjsDZBiCIjjtYaycYRZqmM-BX4yqv4OCS5evnlz_N0U3EHGLUOXcfF28C5xh_Ix71jtw2AKosCXNQCyerp/s1600/c1af7371e48e602a6b80ce51c31e736a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZK93GS7qFM7sRy1Mc8WiL-ecxx1qW4DDLqFFa9feoB-N3kQSiqY6YNJUbkCfjsDZBiCIjjtYaycYRZqmM-BX4yqv4OCS5evnlz_N0U3EHGLUOXcfF28C5xh_Ix71jtw2AKosCXNQCyerp/s640/c1af7371e48e602a6b80ce51c31e736a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
6- I would add built-ins to my dream living room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It looks great and adds storage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvYR14Ulfehfdn7XyEIJD-L6OmTphOfjhXf1ci5f9XTXCpgr8GPEYwIAIIkZNjXeFhJ97G7iTyNeCUUsiEGwqVDpm4pjhRDLqb3bL5rU9ZzsqyeXivnDJdx9ANbXVFkMhZqb05vNhNiBy/s1600/280533f41e74.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvYR14Ulfehfdn7XyEIJD-L6OmTphOfjhXf1ci5f9XTXCpgr8GPEYwIAIIkZNjXeFhJ97G7iTyNeCUUsiEGwqVDpm4pjhRDLqb3bL5rU9ZzsqyeXivnDJdx9ANbXVFkMhZqb05vNhNiBy/s640/280533f41e74.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The most important part of my dream space is to have an area that is used often and shared with the people I love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What elements would your "dream" living room include?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When each girl arrived, we had a little Fairy Ceremony. We had them each sit in the "Queen" chair and my daughter waved her wand and they each earned their fairy wings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then they had a fairy parade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, we made mini-fairy gardens...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They turned out so cute and each girl got to take one home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The buckets and grass are also from the Dollar Store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I filled each bucket with tissue paper and topped them off with the grass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made each girl a tee-pee out of skewers and a flower napkin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a package of little plastic fairies at Hobby Lobby and each girl picked out their own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They each got a flower, some rocks, a butterfly and a mini dog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My older daughter did face paint for each girl. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She painted a butterfly or a snowflake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She even had a butterfly shirt on for the party!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we served cake, opened presents and then it was time to go home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a success...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was all decorated with fairy gardens...</div>

Our "mudroom" is pretty small and it's also our laundry room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is located just off the garage, so it is a dumping ground for everything.</div>

For years, I've had this hall tree and it worked great to hang backpacks and hold shoes...</div>

There were always extra coats and shoes all over the place. For a while, I dreamed of adding on to the room to create a space like the ones on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sallyp6/mud-room/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Pinterest Board</span></a>. </div>

It just wasn't in the budget to break out the wall an add on.<br />
So, I was pondering some ways we could add enough lockers for each of us in such a small space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I FINALLY figured it out!<br />
The room is small, but it does have high ceilings.<br />
I decided to maximize the space and found that the Ikea Pax System would work.<br />

We purchased a corner one and added another single Pax wardrobe to each side.<br />

Then we added one more single Pax to the other side of the washing machine.<br />

EVERYONE in our family now has a locker... and there is also another cupboard for cleaning supplies! <br />

There are doors to hide all of the junk!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We chose the Bergsbo doors from Ikea.</div>

We put one shelf to divide each cupboard into two sections.</div>

I added a basket for shoes and we put hooks on each side.<br />
There is a hook for a backpack and one for a coat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband added a block of wood and then drilled the hooks. Now it can hold the heavier backpacks without damaging the cabinet.</div>

It's still a small room, but we were able to maximize the space to work for us.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We painted the walls Sherwin Williams "Sea Salt". It's hard to get a good picture, but It really brightened the room!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm always amazed at how paint can completely transform a room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still can't believe we figured out a way for each of us to have a locker in such a small space!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A new year with new projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It felt so good to take down all of our <span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2015/12/christmas-house-tour.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Christmas decor</span></a>,</span> but then it made our house feel so empty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this cute "hello" sign at Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrL6t3cdqxGAIhE5UGevblq25NWyqirC7h_Tq8-NZhzmKSv3REThsgmoIKgGWy7esEnc_hQqy1MVBC0tQJOJ-3CX8llB3RdGpmuAdsd6p7kKNk7cqcJnmPxBiuRZNizwcpbWdnwFvrGbRR/s1600/IMG_0451blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrL6t3cdqxGAIhE5UGevblq25NWyqirC7h_Tq8-NZhzmKSv3REThsgmoIKgGWy7esEnc_hQqy1MVBC0tQJOJ-3CX8llB3RdGpmuAdsd6p7kKNk7cqcJnmPxBiuRZNizwcpbWdnwFvrGbRR/s640/IMG_0451blog.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes me happy when I walk into the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have started the new year organizing bedrooms and closets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started with my <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/02/coral-yellow-blue-girls-bedroom.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">daughter's room</span></a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We moved around her furniture, which made it feel nice and fresh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just the change she needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also motivated her to keep it clean!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we cleared out her closet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels SO good to de-junk!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up was my <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2011/11/space-room.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">boys' room</span></a>..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was MUCH needed, we can now see the top of their dresser and desk!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are also finally done with our basement! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice to have a place for all the games.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be doing a reveal soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally got around to hanging my kids' artwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been on my "list" for a few years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the wall heading down to the basement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stairwell is all white, so we added a little color with the frames.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes me smile every time I pass by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How is your New Year going?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got all of the kids' bedrooms organized over Christmas break, but this is how my little girl's room looks today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She has been BUSY...notice her "rug" under the table. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is already decorating!</div>

Our house is all decorated for Christmas! You can see the tour of our home <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2015/12/christmas-house-tour.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span>.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to use wreaths when I decorate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was asked by <span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://www.bloomnation.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">BloomNation</span></a> </span>to share some of my favorite holiday wreaths. <br />
If you have never heard of BloomNation, it's a flower delivery service that supports local florists through their online marketplace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This is the wreath I used in my kitchen this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgrlFVGJQviw67RWL_puu3C3yjXWv64eNS9DfllqILeeNh0RgORcvzCUGK53AoQVZgbHdaQOo23GMWY6Dq82uoyoXPekGKoZF9LjS47GFjzfo5kEdXUsh4cI0jtQd2ZS12PmwFrLbQK16/s1600/IMG_0076blog2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgrlFVGJQviw67RWL_puu3C3yjXWv64eNS9DfllqILeeNh0RgORcvzCUGK53AoQVZgbHdaQOo23GMWY6Dq82uoyoXPekGKoZF9LjS47GFjzfo5kEdXUsh4cI0jtQd2ZS12PmwFrLbQK16/s640/IMG_0076blog2.jpg" width="464" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how it's simple, but adds just the right amount of color to the room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's just a foam wreath wrapped with red and white ribbon. The added greenery at the top makes it a little more festive too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also like to use ribbon to hang a wreath...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzmqRKuMgw5xgs8UH6FJ_Ju0_INbPnz2DQlYsZvGm-Dr-hAQzg0fvrcdhRXXB8QcZGCS0FVTeWFjhQ6NRi_zU3e5VfO2WLmITA6zzItqtLPlsyiAu-Sm2mGmEQgNDR61xd90s0AiwNnkhL/s1600/IMG_0175blog22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzmqRKuMgw5xgs8UH6FJ_Ju0_INbPnz2DQlYsZvGm-Dr-hAQzg0fvrcdhRXXB8QcZGCS0FVTeWFjhQ6NRi_zU3e5VfO2WLmITA6zzItqtLPlsyiAu-Sm2mGmEQgNDR61xd90s0AiwNnkhL/s640/IMG_0175blog22.jpg" width="544" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took some greenery off of a garland and added the berries to the top of the ribbon to hide the nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ1sQerrd4XGCqddVbOjwipRnXIOOgJX4fnP6TnFtb7_0wr-yWWwOdUR6fO_BlPqVm7_rntYZSmgErkA213HkmNObiudYqB-kKojbW0rVu3nLlsRfLUWuylksg08WNbRxdEdE3kqMkUM16/s1600/IMG_0173blogg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ1sQerrd4XGCqddVbOjwipRnXIOOgJX4fnP6TnFtb7_0wr-yWWwOdUR6fO_BlPqVm7_rntYZSmgErkA213HkmNObiudYqB-kKojbW0rVu3nLlsRfLUWuylksg08WNbRxdEdE3kqMkUM16/s640/IMG_0173blogg.jpg" width="518" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hanging a wreath over a mirror also looks beautiful and makes a great statement in a room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using Garland is another inexpensive way to make a few wreaths. </div>

This year is zooming by, I can't believe we are already headed into the holiday season!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you know it, we will be decorating for Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Christmas, but I hate to skip by Thanksgiving.</div>

We hung them in our kitchen on this board. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so fun to switch out pictures and quotes for different holidays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also loved hearing my kids' responses...my four year old couldn't stop listing things once she got started. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how she is thankful for unicorns, mermaids & butterflies!</div>

It happens every August and there were some beautiful homes this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were able to visit quite quite a few, so there might be a bit of a picture overload.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few trends I noticed:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">1-Fun Floors:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It made the fireplace a great focal point by carrying the brick to the top of the ceiling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love the furniture in this room!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of a white kitchen, but this one is still bright and warm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shape of the oven hood is also pretty unique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My baby turned "4" in April.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like we were just getting her nursery ready!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the post that showed the transformation from office to nursery </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2011/10/baby-nursery.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span>.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started talking about her "Big Girl" room about a year ago and showed a few of my "inspiration" photos <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/10/big-girl-bedrooms.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: #45818e;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I was slow to getting around to sharing the reveal, but here it is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This is how her room looks now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I sold the crib and the hutch, which left me with the money to buy her new bed, the bedding and a bookcase for my boys' room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we received a $200.00 gift certificate from RcWilley as a gift because we had spent so much on our appliances when we <span style="color: #45818e;">r</span><a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitchen-remodel-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">emodeled our kitchen</span>.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That paid for a mattress, I even had a dollar something left on the card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got her bed from Ikea...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jGKmDPe2IuWW5Q7Qcifh5FnUXnQ-ERuMzMQg5egKfk5eKwbljWWF8qo3qnuP1QE_AIBt-unabNazOKNooBd9BOODsz3_X-qXFs1CGM41sQ-i417aWQbY4p37mnYCcPqDvluly5lLCEb1/s1600/IMG_0028blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jGKmDPe2IuWW5Q7Qcifh5FnUXnQ-ERuMzMQg5egKfk5eKwbljWWF8qo3qnuP1QE_AIBt-unabNazOKNooBd9BOODsz3_X-qXFs1CGM41sQ-i417aWQbY4p37mnYCcPqDvluly5lLCEb1/s640/IMG_0028blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great price for only $79.95. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it is adorable!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased <a href="http://www.kinglinen.com/miley-white-f.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">THIS</span></a> bedding through Amazon and it was $39.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the reviews said to buy a size bigger than you need and they were right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They didn't sell it in a king, but the full size worked because it is up against the wall, so it doesn't matter if it's short on that side of the bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture is also from Ikea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I moved this from my kitchen when we were switching around furniture in a few rooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the same letters from her nursery. </div>

I had these little frames on her old hutch, so I hung them by her bed and the mirror is from Hobby Lobby. It was yellow, so I painted it the same color as her desk.</div>

We have started another pretty big project...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our basement family room is getting a makeover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has always been our playroom/exercise/Junk room!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhURCjGTAg-3PtnDGKW0MrmXQNzYOGYxyl8JzKN6j3ScTlMBWOXJ0qmDYApdplPZ8_wTdqEJ3vjCGyxTiOFUpdYcpXGGRzqqL0v443o-dv5RaKYlb4ped3svYCfCbdhYujgzOljft1s8fGt/s1600/IMG_2861.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhURCjGTAg-3PtnDGKW0MrmXQNzYOGYxyl8JzKN6j3ScTlMBWOXJ0qmDYApdplPZ8_wTdqEJ3vjCGyxTiOFUpdYcpXGGRzqqL0v443o-dv5RaKYlb4ped3svYCfCbdhYujgzOljft1s8fGt/s640/IMG_2861.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a nice place to put all of our extra junk and it's been great for the kids to have a playroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now a few of our kids are moving into their teen years and we have noticed it would be nice to have another area for them to "hang out". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I decided we'd like our TV room back on the weekends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two agreed and helped my husband start this project...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

DEMOLITION!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are actually becoming really helpful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These two made a stage and were dancing to the song "Happy"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is when I started feeling "overwhelmed"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is amazing how removing the built-in really opened up the room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice not to come down the stairs and around the corner and feel like you're hitting a wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are going to make this area a "TV" room and the other side will become the air hockey/play area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will also be adding a wall of storage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to have our family room be bright and fresh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a post on family rooms that I loved from the Salt Lake Parade of homes last year. If you'd like to see it, you can find it <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/09/parade-of-homes-2014-fun-family-rooms.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span>.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my inspiration photos:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We will either do a smaller version of something like these built-ins...</div>

We picked our carpet, couch and paint color. Now we have to get to work! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why is it always so easy to "start" a project?<br />
Then once there is a mess, you realize just how much work it's going to take to complete it and you run out of energy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully, this makeover is a much faster project than our <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitchen-remodel-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">KITCHEN REMODEL</span></a>!<br />

We did sell our old leather set and we moved our sectional from our living room into the great room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so hard to find an ottoman that looked good in the space that wasn't a fortune. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's amazing to me how an ottoman can be as expensive as a couch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found these at Target for $39.00. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coral pictures were in the clearance section at Target and I got the anchor from Homegoods.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks better above our door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I had a single picture above the lamp and it was too small.</div>

We have lived in our home for over 10 years and our living room has gone through a few changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is how it looked for years...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few years ago, we sold our floral set and got a sectional. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjj0GHFocDU-7NR6OMRk5d88xE3Ty_E50rSqomlyemTNMJcPqDrOjQIG7rNAUoZN30OhhlUy_u7ECrkrhPrkTWF1Q-JApEIx4v6SGBWmzdyegnO3VPIFVGjVfug8edHAmbibmUpudBUUv4/s1600/2013_09+(146)blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjj0GHFocDU-7NR6OMRk5d88xE3Ty_E50rSqomlyemTNMJcPqDrOjQIG7rNAUoZN30OhhlUy_u7ECrkrhPrkTWF1Q-JApEIx4v6SGBWmzdyegnO3VPIFVGjVfug8edHAmbibmUpudBUUv4/s1600/2013_09+(146)blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We recently remodeled our <span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitchen-remodel-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">KITCHEN</span></a> </span>and<span style="color: #45818e;"> <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/06/fireplace-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">GREAT ROOM</span></a></span>, so we decided to paint our living room the same color. We used the Benjamin Moore Color 'Pelican Grey'. I love it because it's grey, but in different light it can look a light blue. We also changed the baseboards and trim around the windows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided the sectional would seat our whole family when we watch movies, so we moved it into our great room. So, this started the process of finding new living room furniture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see the post about switching around all of my furniture <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2015/01/rearranging-furniture.html" target="_blank">HERE.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's taken me quite a while to get it together, but here is how it looks now...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love how it turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the view from our entryway...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the past, I have always purchased a matching set, but this time I bought each piece separately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It actually turned out cheaper this way and I really like how it looks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took longer to get it to the look the way I wanted and was a little frustrating at times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up buying and returning four sets of chairs! I was ready to take back our couch! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I scored these chairs at Homegoods...I'm addicted to that store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_Nk1q23c2lavCAAbzkP1Bv5yU5qPKsaFm1keJCQlWx7zoYF9-32MWnIyrCc4xZHe-92DHEUTE4XTY4vOdJRWtY1dCYjwlMGABagGmGHXISyxxT-ERbfEgdiAYSTBXERGbfij47VvDOlG/s1600/IMG_0091living.jpg" width="640" />They were only $99 a chair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the stripes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I found a table runner that was made with the same material and made pillow covers out of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitoz17OUaU1fF9-hLez41gKG5RJFi3LUnUYiv50DJyXce9DGikXGb5OWCMQrv_Jd2o3XGuNHrtMri62q0kKs-eivzLnbffN8LLGNg8zVgjs3sTvzq9uorysTnMRSXWN3Hm-lNjR5mAzJU6/s1600/IMG_0095+1living.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitoz17OUaU1fF9-hLez41gKG5RJFi3LUnUYiv50DJyXce9DGikXGb5OWCMQrv_Jd2o3XGuNHrtMri62q0kKs-eivzLnbffN8LLGNg8zVgjs3sTvzq9uorysTnMRSXWN3Hm-lNjR5mAzJU6/s1600/IMG_0095+1living.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It only cost me $10.00 for both pillows!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was going to find a round coffee table, but decided I liked this tufted ottoman. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It opens up and has storage too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bet you can't guess where I bought it from? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, it was once again Homegoods!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next find that I adore was this bird cage bench...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is so unique and fit perfectly because I have little birds throughout this room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9OmUCFcKyo0K7NdtGvpBXiApICpHOJNDLcBZvYBoKg6xHPkomW6434krZ-aon3t4kg6LHNjFV-848CNV7NDxXhIeWhg_3jxJHZga4wsgDWLdz_wi0t5i9MqF9SKsBtV3JvHAkZKJ6x1ic/s1600/IMG_0102+1living.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the material on the bench too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's our dog's favorite piece of furniture...</div>

He's always on the lookout for someone walking by our house!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also found a wingback chair at Homegoods (That store knows me on a first name basis now!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was able to go with my husband to Nashville, Tennessee a few weeks ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a great time visiting all of the sites!</div>

I love my country music, but I also loved seeing all of the beautiful homes there!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On our first day, we actually went on the ABC "NASHVILLE" tour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does anyone else love that tv show? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's one of my favorites! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the homes of two of my favorite characters in the show:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the character Deacon's home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks like the roof might of had a leak, but it's definitely the house you see on tv!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #45818e;">By: Kelly Obbink from <a href="http://www.inhouz.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/inhouz"><span class="s2">InHouz</span></a></span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">The moment you open your front door and step in, you want to feel welcome and happy to be home. A well-lit, neat and attractive entryway is enticing, creates warmth and speaks volumes about the residents. You can add your personality and taste to your home at the entryway itself. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Here are a few unique and innovative ways to transform your entryway:</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><b>1.</b> Create a Styled Side Table Area</span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">While designing and choosing the elements for an entryway table, you must consider the design elements of balance, harmony and color. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">If the table has a large picture or mirror as its backdrop, it feels well grounded as if it belongs there and is not merely hanging around. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">A piece of fabric, tapestry or even wallpaper in an attractive frame works well. You could let it sit on the table or have it hanging just behind it, depending on the look you want to create. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Place a carpet or rug under the table. Accessorize with books, a tray for keys or mail, a lamp, a vase or a flowering plant to dress the table adequately. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">2. Create Storage Solutions</span></b><span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">However small your entryway, you can use your creativity and add simple and functional storage solutions. Matching or similar buckets, baskets and bins add storage space at the entryway while ensuring these accessories also add aesthetic appeal to the space. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Alternatively, you can be innovative and let your imagination soar. For instance, you can use milk crates and give them a fresh coat of paint. Then, mount them on the wall and have baskets that fit inside them to serve as storage bins. If you have kids and want to create storage space for them, a low-fixed rod with hooks to hang up jackets, bags and everything else they come home with is a great solution. A drip station for shoes is also a good choice, especially during winters or when it’s raining. </span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">An entrance filled with natural light is attractive and beckoning. You can achieve this and give your front door a distinctive look by <a href="http://www.inhouz.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/inhouz/Glass-For-Doors/Decorative-Door-Glass"><span class="s2">installing decorative door glass</span></a>. Depending on the style of your home and the surrounding décor, you can find door glass that coordinates well. Contemporary, eclectic, and old world are just a few of the style options to choose from. For a classic look, clear door glass will do the trick. You’ll be amazed by the amount of light that will flow through your front door and give the rest of your foyer a more open feel. Even the neighbors strolling by outside will be in awe of the transformation.</span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Chandeliers spell panache, elegance and sophistication. So, if that is the look you want, a chandelier will achieve this. If your entryway is large, an opulent chandelier hanging from the ceiling will become the focal point of your foyer. Otherwise, opt for less grandeur, which will still add style but won’t steal the show.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Besides making the entryway look stunning, a chandelier also serves the purpose of lighting up the entrance and surrounding areas -- you can never have too much light! </span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Rugs and carpets in any shape or size are always welcome in homes. When used in the entranceway they add to the warmth and make a home more inviting. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">If your entranceway is decorated in muted colors, brighten it up with a bold rug, and conversely, a neutral rug can be the perfect way to tie various patterns and styles together. </span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">The entryway is a transition area – you leave the outside world behind and enter the warmth and comfort of your home. Adding potted and flowering plants will allow you to make this area fresh and welcoming. Just don’t go overboard with the greenery. You should have just enough greenery and vibrantly colored flowers to make the doorway look warm, welcoming and rejuvenated. </span></div>

A put together entryway gives visitors a warm welcome and will make you smile every time you walk through your own front door.

We have an area at the end of our hallway that has changed over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It used to be the place for our kids' dresser. <br />
It was a good location between their rooms and made their bedrooms more spacious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When we had another baby, our office got moved to the loft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband's desk was too big, so we moved a small portion of it to the end of the hall and put two computers for the kids there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how it looks now...<br />

My boys have sure grown up too! <br />
They are funny and tried to reenact the old picture for me!<br />
Here is the space now...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These computers rarely get used because they are old and SLOW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The side of the desk also seems to be a place for junk to pile up. <br />
I'm ready to make this space a little more functional. </div>

I love the storage on the side. </div>

When we moved our sectional from our living room to our great room, it caused quite the switch up throughout the whole house!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the post about that<span style="color: #45818e;"> <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2015/01/rearranging-furniture.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span></a></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we first remodeled our <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/07/kitchen-remodel-reveal.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">kitchen</span></a>, I found this bench and little green table. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked how they added a little color to our white kitchen. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we painted our living room and I was trying to lighten up the couch with new pillows and this bench looked really good in the bay window...</div>

You can see how our living room has transformed over the years <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/09/one-project-leads-to-another.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE.</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new couch I got for the living room clashes with the bench.<br />
I thought about selling the bench, but decided to move it to the upstairs hallway.<br />
Here is my hallway before...</div>

I love the ruffles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who knew switching a couch from one room to another would cause this domino effect on the rest of my house!<br />
I actually love the changes and it's a fun way to freshen up your home.<br />
It has also changed my sister's house too! The leather set from our great room looks great in her living room!<br />
<br />
Now I have been working on my living room and I've been buying and returning chairs for a few weeks now. <br />
I'm pretty sure TJ Maxx knows me on a first name basis.<br />
It has been so hard to get chairs to match our couch.<br />
I was so close to just returning the couch!<br />
It is finally coming together and I'll show you soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of the chairs that finally worked...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is literally the fourth set of chairs I have tried! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you shop around your own house and rearrange your furniture?</div>
This was one of the biggest switch arounds I've experienced!<br />

This quote is so true:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep in mind we all have bad days, weeks, months or even years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year, when we were remodeling this quote really hit home! It was a mess everywhere!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6H95Mb5iartH3U-Cw86gDQJEUeMe9TQrOnis1R_wfITjvoDvdo_ac3m2MOR3wUWlI5r7ifMz6Pc3EEiNkhvUmaRUb9-CW-7qBaBmN6rWVQbxwlvl0mgDjehCaCpi2BdQcTgEJyFETu6DT/s1600/IMG_0017+3+(1).JPG" height="426" width="640" /> I did a whole post about the chaos <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2014/04/messes-everywhere.html" target="_blank">HERE. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We finished our remodel at the beginning of July, but my husband is just now (6 months later) able to park his car in the garage. Our basement has been a disaster (see the pic above) until I was putting the Christmas away and did a major de-junk. So with that said, sometimes it takes baby steps, but eventually you'll get there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think starting off the New Year with a schedule is a great idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivoaQdfvSxqaz-Iomd1YDYbkRUQlkUYIU1LJJGyOJz06FCu7F-ldPnBHxeWNE-BoxRgG06151n5Wmpe3jSUH6kA8p6ao4UI7BOD_rG2WFqMmyLSDxPGLPobQx8WKNcfrgZUcPaiMIyZIax/s1600/cleaning+schedule4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivoaQdfvSxqaz-Iomd1YDYbkRUQlkUYIU1LJJGyOJz06FCu7F-ldPnBHxeWNE-BoxRgG06151n5Wmpe3jSUH6kA8p6ao4UI7BOD_rG2WFqMmyLSDxPGLPobQx8WKNcfrgZUcPaiMIyZIax/s1600/cleaning+schedule4.jpg" height="640" width="460" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been my cleaning schedule for years and it really works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You do a few specific chores each day and this helps cleaning from becoming completely overwhelming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can rearrange the days for what works best for you and your schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Monday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start a load of laundry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mop main floor </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grocery shopping for the week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Tuesday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust main floor: living room, great room, hallway, entryway</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More laundry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Wednesday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vacuum main floor: living room, great room, stairs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clean main floor bathroom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Thursday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My kids clean their bathroom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust upstairs: loft, bedrooms and railings to the staircase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Friday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clean master bath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vacuum upstairs: loft, hallways & bedrooms</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Saturday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the main chores are done to enjoy the day!<br />
Or if you had a day you missed, do it today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually there is more laundry...it's never ending around here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Sunday</span>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take the day off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Daily:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make beds, clear/wipe counters, fill/empty dishwasher, put away coats & shoes etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did another post on making your house a home <a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2012/03/making-your-house-home.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span> </a>. It explains how we have designated areas where we put our "stuff", which is key in helping keep things organized.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few more helpful tips:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I usually do most of my "chores" listed after I get my older kids off to school, some days it's 15-20 minutes and other days it might take over an hour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I try to avoid the computer or other things that suck away my time until I'm done with my chore of the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* When I cook dinner, I usually clean up while it's baking. That way dinner clean up is just the table and maybe a few pots or pans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*My kids also put away any toys that are in their rooms every night before bed. If all of their toys have a "home" it makes it SO much easier!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Twice a year:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Every spring and fall I clean the blinds and baseboards. Click the link below for instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://loveofhomes.blogspot.com/2012/03/spring-cleaning-tips-blinds-baseboards.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Easy Way To Clean Blinds & Baseboards</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Clean out bedroom and coat closets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It's sometimes crazy what triggers me to change things around in our home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over Christmas break, we had a few family movie nights.<br />
It was after midnight when we finished,<br />
"The Christmas Story"(one of our kids' favorite Christmas traditions). <br />
I kept looking over at our sectional in our living room. My mind started churning and I looked over at my husband and asked if he was ready to help me move some furniture? He looked at me like I was a little crazy, but luckily we are both night owls & we started moving things around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We moved our sectional into the great room, which makes more sense for watching movies...we all fit comfortably and actually have some space to lounge out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaz1V8lZzy_RCBt7iIcMGMQPihth4_RXxQca3ObwwQ2Livcy_-T5zc971VdKnq1aLmSenLnnhyphenhyphenGS2VRrGnwGad1vN8MPHVrEm5u2PDfk5bAGSXxabuUeFzYbQoviaN_84tF_GNg6WwnIo/s1600/IMG_0011+1blog.jpg" height="368" width="640" />Here it is in the living room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a perfect fit in here, but it will definitely be used more in the great room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The material always felt like it would be a better fit for a TV room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is in the great room now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jYWTEkGNspeh5J7z15GjKpABaPEWbj0BOO4YeSFCqd1-kdUMkrA-7afFyIMHHPvqB0RmFIPNFuljb50NMeFC6e7l9v5dvW9NCu9Qtc4g3cqbdumlVA44kyyE4ewtMP5ccSljKBG1D8Bl/s1600/IMG_0349blog.jpg" height="437" width="640" /> At first, I thought it might be too big, but we are really enjoying it there.</div>
<div>
It's weird, but when you are sitting in there, it actually makes the room feel a lot bigger than it did before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgviaPN61lpgxPjrAmCne9b1CDm9Cm0bdSUTaY4VqTzaZRrMpjDIZlYnG5PglhKr1-fHe5AuK-nGO6_2bVvpZCDqEU4wEg0EZy_TGuyh0iYZVS_qJJkoHzhi-cb-jjNwh2RlMQesvJnsjI/s1600/IMG_0353blog.jpg" height="438" width="640" /> Now I have opened a can of worms figuring out where to put everything else.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I moved our black shelf into the kitchen...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwQjEj1NeQKMg64zhVk1P6LzrmmW5-ULGfyj2yYLZ94HZyzr-9t-JbPnb9fPX1NrME9e-oOl6-0bduhgKSclriPSwxZ_nANLl-h4vpEaSI0LEtW5EKh4lGwuwL5HDBYKrcNrjnUghZoLy/s1600/IMG_0331new.jpg" height="424" width="640" />I really like how it matches our table...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I actually found it in the classifieds from a wholesale store that was about an hour away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went into the Ashley store closer to our house and they had the same set. <br />
They price matched it and I saved another $250.00.<br />
I love a good deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love tufted furniture! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we have to find two chairs and a coffee table to complete the room.<br />
Here are a few of my "inspiration" rooms:<br />

They are both beautiful rooms and I like how this is going to look more "formal" for our living room.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I started putting away our Christmas decor it started me on a major "clean out"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels so good to get rid of junk. I actually tackled this storage area we call the "pit". <br />
It took me ALL day, but I had a whole car full of stuff for goodwill. <br />
While I was unloading, the kid asked me like three times, "Is that everything?"<br />
I know how to fill up my car... Lets just say it was a good de-junk! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hadn't touched that area in almost 10 years. It was the space you'd feel with "stuff" and shut the door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love getting organized for the New Year!<br />
We are off to a good start!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, my mom & I started on my sister's house to make room for her to take our old leather set. <br />
She gave us treat on our way out and said not to come back ;). <br />
Unfortunately, we don't listen too well...see you in the morning Clarece!<br />
