i'm going to need a separate blog to showcase all the updates i'm hoping to accomplish in 2012!!!
here's a
Pantry / Laundry Room: swap out "wire" shelves and put in solid wood shelf painted white, with decorative corbels. Clear jar for oxyclean powder, small wood box for dryer sheets, faux flowers, colorful wreath & vases. Move the Washer next to the Dryer (right now there is a gap) and put a skinny basket on side of dryer. Get a large area rug in front of the w/d. Paint room in Benjamin Moore Butter Pecan. Change pantry shelves from wire to wood shelves with cabinets, pull out drawers, etc. Similar to the ELFA system.
Powder Room: Change pedestal sink to white vanity with under sink storage. Swap out oval "builder grade" mirror for a chunky white framed mirror. Create chunky baseboard and chunky faux crown molding. Paint room Benjamin Moore Barely Beige. Add in grey/white photos & shabby chic decor. Faux greenery potted plants. I'd love to paint the ceiling too! And change out the ugly & annoying fan for something much quieter.
Entry Way: Paint front door interior glossy black. Add black framed mirror to side wall with yellow vase & greenery plant. Grey and yellow entry rug. Maybe a funky key hook from a fleur de lis design or such. Add in new nickel ceiling chandelier.
Dining Room: Add in white Ashley Gel Fuel fireplace on staircase wall, black framed photos above and simple black/white/yellow decor on mantle... candles, trinkets, etc. Refinish & paint oak curio cabinet (hand-me-down from mama) in a satin black and swap out for a new nickel finish handle. Swap out nickel chandelier for something warmer and add a dimmer switch. Add faux chunky baseboard addition. { Evenutally: swap out dining table for a round black dining table, like from Pottery Barn }
Kitchen: backsplash & floors tiled, microwave above stove, glass corner cabinet. Continue chunky baseboards.
*to-be-continued*
