-sigh- having some issues with my Christmas project pix..... wish I were just a little more fluent in computer-ese.......gonna hit DD daughter up for help......
Sooooo, tell us your design projects for this year!
While I am wrestling with my Christmas design pix....... thought I would ask all of y'all......
What is it you desire to achieve in your home this year?
Please post links, pix, whatever!
I will share what I wanna do with my unending reno project, but I want to know what everyone elses are....... especially what you can do on a budget, given the economy.
I always want to hear someone elses triumphs over constrained budgets!
One of my garden windows is filled with Christmas Cacti and they decorate for me.
That really is beautfiul Texas...I also love the pots you have the cactus in. Oh I so very much miss my Christmas cactus collection. I had all of them in my attached greenhouse, along with my pink and orange orchid cactus plants...we had a terrible freeze and I lost every one of them. Fortunately, I had given my mother a couple of started plants from the orchid cactus and she gave me one back. The Christmas cactus collection though...it was just gone, for good. Beautiful window setup though....and your countertops. Oh my!
Projects for Winter of 2010: Well, I want to get the upstairs bedrooms painted, change out the vanity in the upstairs guest bath, get new drapes for our master. Two of the bedrooms were nicely painted when we moved in - just not the right colors.
The windows all have white mini-blinds on them which are useful, but not my favorite. We completed the main level and worked on the walk-out basement (right now it is a large room with new paint and carpet and lots of workout equipment but there is room to move that to one end and make a second family room at the other end). This would be the sports viewing (man cave) room for DH.
The third guest room - a nice sized room that has very scary cartoonish animal 1988 wallpaper with cloud wallpaper on the ceiling (all was installed directly onto the unprepped drywall). The wallpaper is in great condition and the seams hard to detect. There is a chair rail with paint above. We want to panel the room up to the chair rail with a nice molding ledge at the top and then paint the top portion of the wall. That scary wallpapered guest room is one way to keep guests from staying too long though, LOL.
When it gets warm, our large screened in porch will be painted (we already have the paint) and rescreened. It is a wonderful huge porch that we furnished last summer but because of the constant rain, we could never get enough dry days to paint. The outside deck and two stairways were painted last summer and look great and the paint is holding up beautifully.
We hope to start painting the master in two weeks.
Those are my winter/late spring projects - that and lots and lots of gardening!
My own project is the master bath. It needs new EVERYTHING!
I have been putting it off forever, its really the last project in the house. (for the moment, you know how that goes!)
Too doggone cold to go scan in my Christmas project pix in my office.....cant believe I am in bed with the laptop to stay warm......my heat pump has been going all day!
Hope all my HIDD friends are staying warm!
That really is beautfiul Texas...I also love the pots you have the cactus in.
Thanks so much, beachmel. The cacti are in even more bloom today. The pots are Rosevilles. I buy them on eBay. I have more than I'll ever need but I just cant resist a good deal on them.
I also have Roseville vases on top of my kitchen cupboards:
