HomeSweetProgress: Kitchen Makeover in Progress: Flooring

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/07/kitchen-makeover-in-progress-flooring.html

Saturday, July 17, 2010. Kitchen Makeover in Progress: Flooring. Redoing my kitchen has been exhausting to say the least! Word to the wise, prepare your walls before your cabinets arrive. My husband kept saying he did not want to jump the gun and would do everything during his vacation. NOT! Here we are a month later still not even 1/2 done. One of our first projects involved pulling up the nasty nasty berber carpet in our living room. I found a steal of a deal on some laminate flooring! You won't believ...

HomeSweetProgress: Repurposed Candlesticks

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/08/repurposed-candlesticks.html

Friday, August 27, 2010. AhhhhI remember the day about 4 years ago when a floofy doo store was going out of biz. They had zillions of cool items that were usually out of my price range. I did get my husband to buy me wall candle holder thingy I'll show you one day- at full price. I love it, but it's probably too big for my home. Please ignore ugly shade it's currently wearing. No time to shop at the moment. There were only two registers. I could NOT believe it. But after you invest an hour or so ...So th...

HomeSweetProgress: Inexpensive Sconce- 86 the Electrician

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/08/inexpensive-sconce-86-electrician.html

Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Inexpensive Sconce- 86 the Electrician. For those of you who have ever waited tables, you know "86" means cancel that item on the order. So.I have always wanted a sconce, but have never wanted to pay an electrician to come out and especially wire it up. If I had wads of cash lying around, then sure. Well, while in the grocery store (Publix) of all places I bought a flexible LED battery operated light for 2.99. Not sure they had it priced right? The idea was so simple -especially...

HomeSweetProgress: Small Things Make Me Happy -A Little Whimsy Here and There

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/08/small-things-make-me-happy-little.html

Friday, August 6, 2010. Small Things Make Me Happy -A Little Whimsy Here and There. Digging around in that box of crap containing tons of metal things I have no idea about, did pay off the other day. While I was making my shelf attached to our cement wall in basement, I happened upon a cute little piece of metal that Mr. BK told me he thought was a washer when I asked him about it later. Actually, I remembered to take before shot after I'd already put wood glue around eye- we'll see if this glue works).

HomeSweetProgress: My Daughter's Nursery- Cute and on a Budget

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-daughters-nursery-cute-and-on-budget.html

Thursday, July 1, 2010. My Daughter's Nursery- Cute and on a Budget. See in image above). I really need one. I wasn’t sure about my ability to sew rod pockets so I just threw the toppers over the black pole and they hang perfectly. I needed some nursery art. I’d bought a little wooden sign over her bed along with the letters of her name made out of wire covered with pearls. This was a splurge at around $15 each. I was glad I named her Ella and not some long name like Charlotte (smiling). My only regret (...

Thursday, August 12, 2010. Choosing Wall and Ceiling Colors. The Color Scheme - Still Choosing Between the Greens. Today's post concerns paint colors, color schemes, and my upcoming plan.

HomeSweetProgress: Sraying Primer on the Cabinets

http://homesweetprogress.blogspot.com/2010/08/sraying-primer-on-cabinets.html

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Sraying Primer on the Cabinets. Hello My Dear Readers-. Might I suggest you rent a very high-end professional paint sprayer if you choose to spray paint your cabinets or other items in your home. I bought a Wagner that I had read favorable reviews on. Funny, how all the reviews were bad at the end of yesterday when I looked it up again. Yesterday was a comedy of errors! Hopefully things will go better this next round. I plan to either rent a sprayor or handpaint. I'm usi...I put...
