At the first of 2012, we started putting home remodeling tips on our home page. We called it Tip Of The Week. Now when we say weekly tip, the tip was really posted for about 10 to 15 days instead of one week. Sometimes it was even longer.

So, we have renamed it to just Tip. We are trying to make sure we put up a new tip at least every 10 days now.

When the tip is changed, it is removed and placed on a different page. One which it is well suited. Then, we place a link to that page below for your convenience.

We have also listed the dates each were showcased as our Tip.

So here we have it. The little room with an updated look. Its quite a difficult room to photograph since its so er, cozy, but I’m so happy to finally be able to use the card catalog now that its in place. Hooray for tiny cubby holes.

I didn’t realize it when I laid them down the first time but those FLOR tiles were awesome since I was able to rearrange them to fit with the smaller work table really easily. Read more…

April’s nearly a week and a half away. The weather’s already beginning to change over here where I live, as I’m sure it is in other parts of the country as well. And it doesn’t take a historian to know what most of us contemplate during Spring….home remodeling, or at least a giant clean. We sweep the floors, rearrange furniture and clean out the garage and after we’ve gone over the home countless times, we start noticing areas of the home that need serious work. We see that bathrooms need new wallpaper, carpeting needs a facelift and once we step outside, we scrutinize even more by seeing exterior blemishes.And over time, one of those blemishes that pops up into our stream of conscience is an aging roof.

I would be all over this ‘butlers console’ found craiglist. Id paint the base a rocking shade and use it for all the odds and ends that seem to pile up on the dining room table. (The price seems a bit high to me but maybe the seller is willing to negotiate?)

Unfortunately , Im not a hoarder (ha! don’t think i’ve uttered that thought before) and I already have something very much like this already so I don’t need another.

Check out my DIY mail center to read all about it.

On a completely unrelated note Im quite impressed with this sellers bold choice in wall color. Read more…

Lighting and new light fixtures are one of the quickest and easiest ways to update a home, almost instantly. In fact, if you haven’t recently updated your light fixtures or updated your lighting scheme, you might want to consider it. Sure, purchasing a few new fixtures can be a bit on the costly side, but it doesn’t have to be. Furthermore, if you opt for trendier looks, such as more sculptural pieces, you’ll not only have better lighting, but you’ll enjoy them for years to come.

All About Sculptural Light Fixtures

So, what exactly defines a light fixture as being ‘sculptural?’ Well, the answer can vary from person to person as everyone has different views on design and appearance.
