Hallway {Transformation}

02/06/2013 By Bre

6 Feb

We have been in our house for almost 2 years now,and from the time we moved in I have wanted to spruce up this tiny back hallway.It's long and narrow, and has a coat closet at the end, as well as our back door.The hallway is literally as wide as a door, so there really isn't a whole lot you can do with it,but that doesn't mean you can't make the most of it, and use of it's space.We finally got around to finishing it up recently,and I couldn't wait to share it with all of you!For the time being we had hung up our long coat hook board, until we could afford the materials,as you can imagine, when we first moved in, it wasn't on the top of the priority list.But this simple ...

I am so happy to have my computer back!!Sigh of relief :)It was a good thing I brought it in, because it was on the brink ofdestruction which would have been adisaster!But thankfully she's back and purring like a pro!Such a treat,and speaking of treats, I wanted to share this yummy dessertwith all of you.Do you ever get tired of bringing the same old boring brownies fordessert somewhere, but don't quite feellike making 7-layer bars, or don't even know what to bringinstead, but you still want it to be in the WOW factor!I love what Ina says:"No one will really remember what you made for dinner,but they will always remember what youmade for dessert!"I always keep that in mind when I'm hosting, ...

Well this morning I will be dropping my computer off for a tune- up. I call it that, because there is nothing horriblywrong, thankfully!

I came across this Pinvia: The White Rabbitlast spring...and was instantly in love!It's a bit more on the Shabby Chic side(in my mind)But I loved the idea of using this old window and making a sign out of it,I knew it could be done,just wasn't quite sure how at the time,but I saved it for future reference.Then I came across this lovely blog,ohh back in the fall, maybe?Have you met Claire?This girl is great! Not only does she make and re-create the best stuff,click here for the post on this fab chair!but do you ever come across someone and wish you lived closerbecause you know you would be friends?Like the kind of friends that like all the same stuff?I told her one time it's probably a good ...

Well I know it's been declared that Emerald is the it color for 2013,but honestly I am not a fan :(Seriously, I would love to sit around the table in that room,and see how they come up with the design trends for the new year?Do they pick them out of a hat?Is there a method?Or based off of somebody's mood?Seriously if someone knows the answer, Do Tell :)Anyhow,My birthday is in May, so it's even my birthstone,and to be honest I've never been a fan. Maybe it's because the only thing that comes to mind is the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz,but for some reason it's the only shade of green that I JUST don't vibe with.I love green, all shades, really,just not a fan of emerald ...

So, along with the new year comes new To-Do's and new Lists, and you know I'm a list-lover. I seriously think I would exhaust myself if I tried to compile every.single.plan. I have for this Langford house of ours, {honestly a tad overwhelming to even start to think about it} however, I do love a good project, and I do love to cross things off my list. So today we are going to talk about the kitchen! Yes, my kitchen, which now thinking about it, I really don't think I have done a kitchen post.EVER. Yes, I have showed you the kitchen, {in our house tour here} and I have done projects in the kitchen, but really I haven't shared a whole lot about it, which is kinda sad, due to the ...

Today I'm going to share with you our dining room table makeover.I actually painted it this time last year, but never got around to posting it.With holidays upon us it's easy to get wrapped upinto "needing" a new table set, dinnerware, and entertaining sets.So instead of turning those wants into needs,lets make the best of what we have,and remember to be thankful to have a table set to being with.{And if you don't, by all means go out an get one... if you can :) }You might be familiar with how our dining room table currently looks:It didn't always look this way. In fact most of the time I covered it with a table cloth,because I honestly couldn't stand it!It wasn't the color, ... Read More about Table Makeover
