Hall Bath Update

Since the day my mom moved in with us she's hated the hall bathroom floor! It's the bathroom she uses the most and she deserves to like it! The existing tile is some strange matte finish that is close to nails on the chalkboard (for me it's biting into an apple, I know super randomly weird) when you walk on it.
 So she came to me and said I will pay for the flooring if you change it for me! I used peel n stick wood looking vinyl before on a Toy Hauler trailer we had and I thought it would be the perfect easy and pretty stuff to put down! So for about $40 I was able to transform the bathroom with paint, moldings, and flooring! I still need to finish painting the vanity and caulk the moldings, but overall you get the gorgeous picture. And mom is in love with it!

Downstairs bathroom mini makeover

So the only bathroom downstairs was ok, but all our guests use it and it was a bit funky. When everyone commented to me how strange it was, I knew I had to do something and it wasn't just me thinking it was weird!
 The previous owners decided to take metallic spray paint to the counter and faucet... it looked like a diy gone terribly wrong! We were considering taking out the counters, but then I'd want a different vanity oh and new floors while I'm at it and maybe get a more water efficient toilet and what the heck just redo the shower from that plastic surround to those gorgeous subway tiles! 
Well that thought process brought me back to maybe I can just find a way to get this paint off since we have no money for a big bathroom renovation! So I found this product that you spray and let it sit for about 30 mins and the scrape with a plastic putty knife. I tell you it worked better than I could have ever imagined! 

Overall the cost for painting the walls a new color, the baseboard trim, a chrome towel bar and toilet paper bar, painting the vanity cabinet, and the can of paint remover was less than $100 and it's a pretty big difference! We are so happy with the counters back to how they were originally!

Simple Garage Door Refresh

I did the garage door in our other house with these pretty accents. They make such a difference and add so much character to a plain garage that I added them to our new place.  Also since our garage doesn't have any windows I found these magnets that you add to make look like windows. For under $50 The garage door has such a cute factor now!

Decorating the walls!

I have quite a bit of decorations and I love how the home comes together with my combination of Farmhouse, Victorian, cottage, industrial, etc style decor!! Here's a really cool chippy shutter that I got for $10 and painted "country kitchen". I put it in the hallway to the kitchen because it was so big it wouldn't fit anywhere else. Here are some pics of my decorating around the house.

Living room sectional

So for the last month and a half I've been looking on the Facebook marketplace, offer up, Craigslist, and garage sales daily for a sectional that would fit in a specific spot in our not so deep living room. Every single time I found one that would work and got so excited, it was already sold or pending pick up. It was getting super annoying not being able to get first dibs on one of these sectionals! Finally on Friday I messaged a lady and it was available! I got right on it and told my husband that he didn't have a say in the couch at this point that he has to deal with how it looks and the fact that is has a chaise. (We ideally didn't want one because the room isn't that deep, but I was desperate to have seating in this room) So I pay the lady and start loading it up when I realize how dirty this thing really is and there's dog hair all over it and now my clothes... gross! It was so bad that I was not taking it into my clean home so we left it on the driveway that night. The next morning I took my handy dandy upholstery cleaner and vacuum and went to town! I vacuumed it first then cleaned it and vacuumed again after it was dry for good measure. It took me 6 hours!!!! I had to clean every side of every cushion 3 to 4 times until the water changed from brown to clear! I couldn't believe that a medium grey couch could hide that much dirt!! For only $300 and some sweat equity it was all worth it because it's nice and clean now and looks great in the space plus it's so wonderful to be able to sit comfortably in the room! 
I added some cute pillows and voila!
