I do mine all the time... its very important to keep your fridge running efficiently. Have you ever noticed that your fridge is not a cold as it should be? Well it because the coils are glugged. They sell the wands at the store for cleaning between but if you can use a shop vac to suck out any loose debris and chunky stuff that might be in there. |

Found this blog and have never seen so many pictures that I absolutely love. Very inspiring. I want to cook and redecorate all at the same time! Bread & Olives |

I love the quote on the page, "She who seeks beauty shall find it." So true, and beauty can be found in the simplest things, but it helps to have a really great camera and know how to use it! |
Ann, you will love this! I am so going to scour thrift shops and make these. We still have no bedside tables. I was shocked at the before and after! The Painted Hive | Re-Love Project…before & after |
I love the map drawer liners, I love any type of map on anything. Let me know how this turns out (I would not have the paitence to do that much work). |

My door and door knob 3 Attachment(s) I just finished painting my door and boy was it a PITA. I don't know if I will do the other side. :rolleyes: I already did the brown outside, but the taping off and touch ups are aggravating. I also found that I had to redo the knob and put on a lot more sealer than I originally thought. My screwdriver scraped off a huge chunk. I wonder if that person in the Pin used sealer bc she didn't mention it, and I'm sure it didn't stick that well or held up to scratches. I also bought Rustoleum, so I didn't buy the cheapo stuff. Another thing, was last time I used sealer was for painting my plastic Nerf guns. I don't remember the brand, but it sealed SO well, and even if you take your nail and scratch it, no paint comes off. And usually spray paint slides right off plastic. Attachment 401357 Attachment 401358 Attachment 401359 No pic of the before, but just imagine and all white door with a chrome knob. Next I am putting up a chair rail, trimming the window, crown moulding and put back the baseboards. |

Thanks! I finished trimming the window yesterday but no pics yet. On my way back to cali for a quick bday visit. I'll post pics when I'm back. |
3 Attachment(s) Here is my window. If you look closely on the last pic you will see I cut the casing 2" short. I don't know what happened there. Just wasn't paying attention. But I wasn't about to throw it out. It's barely noticeable in person. The flash makes it more obvious. Overall I love how it came out. Now just gotta do the chair rail (already painted) and crown moulding. Then put back the base boards but gotta clean them up and maybe repaint. Also the blue taped off section I will put up my cork board. I need to find a trim that is about 2" wide to fit. Attachment 401448 Attachment 401449 Attachment 401450 |

2 Attachment(s) Well, I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not. Here are some pictures. These are from Pinterest, not mine, but he made them exactly like this. I really love it and want him to make me a matching hand towel holder too. |

We still need to paint, just installed the over the range microwave last week, had to have electrical wiring done & get the microwave connected to a vent. Now the kitchen is 100% finished. Now back to procrastinating.:D |

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1764664...der-steel-pipe And if you like pipe, my dd is making these 3 shelves to go above her toilet in her bathroom. She picked up a piece of reclaimed wood (pine I believe) that was very rugged, weathered, beaten etc., had her dad cut it to length, and just stained over the top of what was already there. Then she got the pipe pieces to fit her board. It'll look amazing. I think the instructions call for 3/4" pipe x 10" but that's pretty big so she used 1/2" pipe x 6" or 8" I can't remember but it's easy to customize them to size you want. I am considering copying her. (She's just waiting on her BF to help her put them up. I included a pic. The board she used has splits, nail holes, and large chunks missing. I hope they hold up. LOL) Pin by Shelly Wonders on DIY | Pinterest DIY RESTORATION HARDWARE-INSPIRED SHELVING 7th House on the Left |
$52 yikes! It's funny I see things on etsy a lot, that I'm like, um anyone can make that! Then I check the price and it's ridiculous. Any of you read Regretsy before when it was still up? |

I'm going to hold off on crown moulding for a bit for now. Gotta do my cork board (got the wood for it yesterday), just gotta look for a trim to make a frame. Then an ambitious project: I'm going to turn my sliding closet doors into a hidden bookcase folding closet door. Like this: How to Make a Secret Door to a Room or Closet |

Has anyone started their 2015 Home To Do list? I know from this thread I am not the only person who has an ongoing home improvement list. My 2015 Home Goals are 1. Paint the entire first floor, not sure what color I want yet but I do know it will be one color or shades of the same color. I am thinking I want to go with a nice buttery white, almost pale yellow and then do my crown and base boards in a darker color. 2. New rugs for every room downstairs (lets hope Sophie Kate does not confuse them with a pee pad now) 3. New lighting in all the bathrooms, I have no clue what I want yet but I so need new lighting. 4. I really want Hurricane Shutters for all the downstairs windows, they have to be white due to HOA rules. |

You have a lot to do too....I'm always disappointed when I pick out a pant color so I now gogle "popular B.M. paint colors" to see what others are using. This has worked out well for me. My biggest "to do" projects is painting my dated 90's kitchen oak cabinets. I'm doing a lot of research before I start but I have to say I'm a little spooked to do it. If it comes out nice I'll post pictures. :) |

My home to do list is ever growing. Still have a lot of projects in process right now. We had a pretty good streak going, but then we went back to CA and brought back another huge Uhaul full of stuff and now our garage is packed to the gills. Gotta finish the flooring in the downstairs bedroom, that's probably #1. That will free up all the furniture that goes in there from the garage. Another big project is upholstering the upstairs master bedroom walls. We already got the fabric and the paint. Then do the floors in there too. |

1 Attachment(s) I've been meaning to share my backyard porch / cabana / pool area that I recently decorated w/ these drapes...and I can't tell you how much these drapes have made me LOVE this space so much more! It just pulls it in/together and makes it seem like a cozy little room/space of its own. Even better? Guess what the drapes are? Drop cloths from the hardware store, so inexpensive! Super thick, durable, heavy....I think they will do well in the AZ desert blazing sun. I'd have spent hundreds on these if I'd gone with, say, Sunbrella material or something. |
