My Extreme Home Make-over....

As you all know we have recently moved...again...and I am at it again with turning this house into a home. Here is a little sneak peak of some progress in the master bedroom and bath.

This bathroom only has one sink and then a spot for a vanity stool. Well, I needed more storage space so I spiced it up a bit. This is before....
 This is after...I had some blue fabric from when I was teaching and used it on my bulletin boards, and I had some flowers and ribbon too. I just used a nifty little staple gun and made these counter curtains. Then with the blue canvas totes we had I filled them with bathroom necessities and under the cabinet they went. Nice and clean and unseen!! The cost of this project was...$0.00.

Next, I headed to my local dollar store for these items... 
A few candle holders, some case bowls and vases, a little sand and some shells and some Gorilla Glue.
 I took the candle holders and glued them to the bottom of the vases and bowls to make them stand higher...and prettier! Then I filled each one with a little beach decor. 
This is what I got. Three beautiful pieces of decor for the small cost of $5.00. 

Many more pictures to come, as I finish our bedroom. 

Next is the living room make-over...here are a few before pictures...

Now for the after...
We repainted everything in this room. Added special decor to the plant shelf and best of all removed all the old carpet and replaced it with this beautiful tile. With pictures of family and friends through out and candles burning, I also try to make it feel like a home not just a house!!
