Jan 10th, 2010. Before and After. I swear my current house color is not any shade of pink or purple, it just looks that way on some computers. One of these days we're going to build a portico for shelter over the front door and for decorating. I'm a huge seasonal decorating freak so I want a little portico to stick stuff up there. I'm kooky that way. Few more shots of the living room:. And for the heck of it the fireplace at Halloween and Christmas. Behind the dining room is the kitchen. I keep meaning t...

China Cabinet = FINISHED! Jan 26th, 2010 at 11:34 AM. So, it turns out that my Grandmother had 12 place settings of her china. That's a LOT of dishes to wash. not that I'm complaining! WARNING: Seriously, a crap-ton of photos after the cut! Oct 24th, 2008 at 12:42 PM. I've been meaning to post about this for some time, but have never gotten around to it. I wanted to share what I did with that akward space that is between kitchen cabinets and ceiling in some of our homes. In the first picture, I found the...

China Cabinet Update - FINALLY DONE! - Our Lovely Homes

China Cabinet Update - FINALLY DONE! Jan 19th, 2010 at 11:03 AM. We finished it at 10pm last night. The white parts took 6 coats. We didn't prime it beforehand, but should have. The inside, blue part (which you can't see very well in this photo. it looks yellow because of the lights) only took 2 coats. Keith installed 3 new lights in the top, and even added a dimmer, so all we have to do to turn the lights on, is touch the top-left hinge. Now, the fun part. to fill it up. YAY! 11 comments Leave a comment.

I'll start at the begining, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about:. We got a good deal on a not-so-pretty china cabinet. We decided to repaint it and it took FOREVER. It's finally done. And here are a few during shots:. Keith installed new lights in the top, and we painted the hardware a metallic silver. Yep, t...

Long time no post. Jan 10th, 2010 at 12:05 PM. Hey all, it has been a long time since I last posted, but a lot has been going on! Here is my hunny detail sanding the floor! We used a big sander for most of the stuff, but there were a few tight spots we had to blend away from. Wheelie chairs will sure save your knees. We had to dust everything right up to the ceiling afterwards! Here is our fireplace next to the furniture that I liked the trim on, I think we got pretty close! 13 comments Leave a comment.

Just a little cutie to share... - Our Lovely Homes
http://ourlovelyhomes.livejournal.com/21931.html
Just a little cutie to share. Jan 15th, 2010 at 9:26 AM. Someone left a Japanese art 2009 calendar here at work for about 2 weeks, sitting by the copy machine. I asked around, to make sure it didn't belong to anyone, and when no one claimed it, I took it home. Some of the floral pictures are really pretty and I thought they might look nice framed for our bedroom. This might end up x-posted to Domesticity. 4 comments Leave a comment.

Jan 12th, 2010 at 2:24 PM. Today I have the before and after pictures of our library. We use this room for piano, reading, guitar playing, and more formal guest reception. View from the dining room, and view looking down from the upstairs before we moved in. My multi colored floor in progress and the sanded floor. 5 comments Leave a comment.

WARNING: Seriously, a crap-ton of photos after the cut! Jan 15th, 2009 at 7:48 AM. Cut for length and images. Anyway I don’t know if anyone is actually interested in how it was all done, but there you go. (in case you couldn't tell, I also like to track how much things cost). An easy way to dress up a plain old chair.
