Be still, and keep your wine chill!

I have always wanted a wine refrigerator in my home. My aunt and uncle had remodeled their home, and when they redid their kitchen they added Wine Enthusiast - 24-Bottle Wine Refrigerator. I love my home refrigerator, however it only holds wine bottles if they are laying down.  I have corked a bottle of wine before and ended up with an entire bottle of wine at the bottom of my fridge.

My plan for this Wine Refrigerator is to have it in my island, when we remodel our kitchen. We love to entertain, have friends and family over for dinners, BBQ's, and just for cocktails. Having the ability to keep more than one bottle of wine chilled at any given time is a huge plus. I can't wait to finish our remodel, {that may take all summer}

Swan Creek Candles, Scentsy or Glade Scented Wall Plugins?

When I come home from a long of work the last thing I want to smell is my kids tennis shoes, the dogs or the garbage can. I have yet to find a product that actually takes out the odor while refreshing the air, instead it just temporarily covering it up. I have tried just about everything from Swan Creek Candles (which I love in my bedroom but they just don't take out harsh odors) Glade plug-ins, room sprays, scentsy's etc... you get the picture I have pretty much tried everything.

I have noticed the best results for banishing odor of the source by using baking soda and water mix and spritzing it all over my garbage can, the dogs bed and the entry way (where all of the shoes are housed). I added in a bit of essential oils and have found that it does help cut down on the smell a bit. That mixture plus Glade Plugins and scentsys help to fill up the house with a fresh scent (I usually go for spring/clean smelling waxes). If you are looking for a calming scent to fill your bedroom up at night I love lavender scented swan creek candles. They burn slowly, and evenly, and fill your room up with just the right amount of scent without being to overbearing. I would recommend this for anyone, but if your looking for a strong deodorizer give the DIY spray a try!

Are you feeling groovy? Check out this Circular Couch

I totally had an Austin Powers moment when I saw this circle sectional living room set. This is a fun piece of furniture that would be great for entertaining. There is a great deal of seating, for entertaining your dinner or cocktail guests.  Would you be able to entertain all of your guests with this fun couch?

We love to entertain with friends and family, we are always having people over for dinner parties or even movie nights. Often time in the summer time we are outside, unless the weather is raining or cold and than we bring all the fun inside.  This couch would be great to have for our birthday parties too, so many people try to cram on to our sectional couch we have now, no where near enough seating. This fun couch is available in seven different colors, which one would you choose?

Black Modern Coffee Table With Glass Top

I found this unique Black Modern Coffee Table, I love the base and its cool design. It is a beautiful piece of furniture that amazes me how the table top will stay steady on its pedestal. This is a fun funky piece that will look great with any retro decor. Coffee tables have many uses and have really become a staple in almost every living room space.

Coffee tables have become home to an assortment of everyday items. Such items like, magazines, coasters, tons of remotes and even books. The coffee table in our home is the center point to our living room, and is our favorite piece in our living room. We set our drinks on it, we set our popcorn bowls on it, and relax our feet on it when watching our movies! What is on your coffee table?

Retro Medley Banner Giclee Plug-In Sconce

Ok, so I just found these really pretty Retro Medley Banner Giclee Plug-In Sconce that would look really pretty up in my hallway up stairs. There is only one problem, I would have to repaint upstairs in the hallway so that they could match. Since I really enjoy painting I guess that really isn't a problem than.

Although the weather here hasn't been that of weather you can open your windows too and let some ventilation in. With three small kids and all their rooms on the upstairs level, I don't dare paint until I can open the windows. Matter of fact we still have some snow on the ground, it is supposed to rain tomorrow and get up into the 60's but than snow again on Monday.

I just want Spring to make it's appearance and enjoy some nice weather before we get blasted with the summer heat. I have plenty of inside the house projects that I could be working on, however I do need my windows open for some of those projects! How is the weather in your area? Can you open your windows?

Fun idea for an accent wall, Wall in a Box Retro Dots Wallpaper!

I have always felt that every room in your home needs an accent feature, whether it is a color, pillows, a lamp or maybe even a wall covering on one wall of your home. I found this fun idea for a Wall in a Box, Retro Dots Wallpaper. This is a great way to add an accent wall in your bedroom, living room, bathroom or even in your kitchen. 

A pop of color in every room is a great way to add color, detail, as well as creating a focal point in a room. You could create your own wall features using a couple pieces of plywood from your local hardware store. By applying the Wall in a Box wallpaper to the wood, you can create your very own wall art. 

The directions are as follows and it doesn’t get any more manageable than York’s easy three-step application process: measure and cut the first strip of pre-pasted wallpaper included in the kit; dip it in the filled water tray to activate the paste; and place and smooth the paper onto the wall until complete. Its easy-on, easy-off application is guaranteed when installed properly using York’s more detailed instructions (included with the kit). With a straightedge smoother and a utility knife included, York provides every tool necessary for transforming an entire room—all conveniently available in one box.

Ikea Fillsta Retro Table Lamp

Turning a child's room into a young growing and maturing little lady (she will be 10 this year) is no easy feat. Finding decorations that are age appropriate is not easy to come by. I try not to every buy anything full price, if it is not on sale, I usually do not buy it. {I know it sounds cheap, but I just do not see the sense in buying something at full price, when in due time it is marked down drastically} With that said I found this Ikea Fillsta Retro Table Lamp that will be perfect in her room.

Michaela is growing up so fast, and that little girl that used to love baby dolls and wearing dresses every day. My little girl isn't so little and now wants to be like her older cousins. A room with very little toys or stuffed animals, {which is really ok with me, less clutter!} This lamp is the perfect bedroom accessory for her "growing up too fast" bedroom.

Lekaryd Led Table Lamp

 I had to giggle just a little bit when I saw the description of this Lekaryd LED Table Lamp. They advertised it on the Ikea website, as" Find your chocolate stash when you need it most. With this lamp you can keep your trinkets or even candies close at hand. ( The LED bulb doesn't get hot, so the candy won't melt) I have to laugh because in my spare time, {ha ha like a stay at home mom of three has spare time} I clean houses. I have a few people that I clean for, which allows me out of the house twice a week, and I have a little spending money!

One of the houses that I clean for, she will wake up in the middle of the night and have a craving for chocolate or fruit snacks! I love her to death, she is a friend from high school and is expecting her second child! When I first cleaned her house, she warned me of her candy stash on her headboard!! Now that I found this lamp I sent her the link and told her I think she needs to get this!! This lamp is available in black, red or white, to match any homes decor.

No Storage Space? No Problem!

So part of the fun of remodeling our house is changing my kitchen! Not only was our house built aver 130 years ago but it was also built with six door ways in the kitchen. The kitchen was set up by someone who knows nothing about how a kitchen should flow, and also has very limited storage space.  A great way to incorporate more storage space if you have little available would be to get a Stenstorp Kitchen Island.

With the extra storage space, you can neatly store other items you use. I would store them in nice decorative wicker baskets that I found at Target. I would use the baskets to store all of our cook books, recipe books, and other cooking books. A nice round basket on the top of the island would look pretty holding fresh fruit. You can also tuck bar stools with a seat height of 24 3/4 "  under the island to save on space. 

Bar Stools

Enjoy your view, even when the TV is off!!

Do you ever look at the area around your tv when it is not on and enjoy what you see? You can make the space around your TV enjoyable with just a new entertainment center. I would never be able to have such a big entertainment center, my living room is just too small right now. We are under construction right now, and are planning on having a bigger living room once our complete remodel is over with.

Who knew remodeling was so much work!! I have been so busy lately. I have been going through every room, all of it's contents. Don't get me wrong, I am not a hoarder, but god I love to go through stuff and git rid of things. Remodeling a house can be lots of fun or really stressful, thankfully my husband and I are having a lot of fun together! So far!!! Ha ha!! He has been a good listener to all of my wonderful ideas!! Actually we work really well together, considering!!  This entertainment center would be great to have along one of my newly remodeled walls when this project is all finished. I love to have shelf display space as well as space to have movies and dvds behind closed doors!

Make some Fabric Scrap Balls to add to a Decorative Bowl

I love using a wide variety of ideas to decorate the center of my table. From fresh cut flowers in bright colored vases to wooden bowls filled with apples, oranges and lemons. Color is fun and in any room of your home you can add your own touch of color. I love to sew and have tons of fabric scraps, awaiting to become a new project.

With just a few cheap styrofoam balls that you can purchase at your local craft store like Hobby Lobby, and fabric scraps, you can start creating. I love how easy it will be to create. Just take scraps of fabric and cut them in the widths you desire, and use glue to adhere them to the foam balls. I found an amazing website  called Belle Maison that has a ton of other fun ideas, check it out here.

Studio Sleeper Du Monde - Black/Gray

I had someone ask me to find a fun studio size sleeper, couch. A couple of the requirements is that it had to be functional and needed to be used as seating when not in use. When living in a studio you don't have room for extra beds or big bulky sectional couches that house fold out beds. So I found this beautiful Studio Sleeper Du Monde in a very fun Black and Gray color. 

This features two reclining positions, the mattress has a soft memory foam core. This is very stylish for fun studio living. The heavy constructed frame is sturdy metal that will hold up from repeated use. This is great if you entertain guests, for additional seating. Maybe your guests need a place to crash for the night? Or maybe mom and dad are coming for the weekend? Would you use this in your home?
