Project Plans and Wish List for 2017

January 29, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I always have several projects and plans swirling around my head and I am hoping to get to several of them in 2017 while some may remain on my wish list. A few of them are bigger projects and others are just fun small-scale projects that I hope to complete.

I will start with a few of the smaller projects that I would like to tackle this year.  The first of which is in our master bedroom.  We have a beautiful fireplace in the sitting room of our master bedroom which you can see here.  I love the fireplace but want to make some minor changes to it and I saw this image and knew that I wanted to do something very similar.

I found this at Blesser House.  If you haven’t checked her out already, you need to do so now.  She has so many great ideas and right now I am swooning over the ship lap above the fireplace. I am hoping to do something similar to this soon.  I will keep you posted once we get started on it!

Another smaller project that is underway at the moment is a faux fireplace/mantle.  This is something my youngest wanted for his room.  He is already dreaming of his first apartment in NYC! So why not let him design the room he wants here at home first. He  has a tall chest of drawers that he doesn’t use so a faux Fireplace/mantle will replace it soon. Here are a few that we saw and drew inspiration from.

I think this one from Petite Party Studio  is fabulous.  I like the herringbone insert.

I like the wood plank wall paper on this one by Kate’s Creative Space. My son likes the look of the wood insert. I was thinking where the insert is, we could paint it using black chalkboard paint and he could switch it out as he pleases.  We haven’t made a final decision on it yet.

Project Plans and Wish List for 2017

One of the larger projects we are thinking of doing this year is replacing all the carpeting upstairs with hardwoods like the kind we installed on our main level a few years ago.

I would like to continue this hardwood flooring upstairs.  It is 5 inches wide, Hickory Hardwood by Shaw. I am hoping to do this later in the year as well as changing out our stair railing with something like this…

I really, really want to change out our stair railing for one of these options above.  I like the horizontal bars best but would settle for any of the others! This may be one of the projects that might have to remain on my wish list for a while! I like the look of the iron railing and think it is time for a change though.

So there you have it, my wish list both big and small for 2017.  Yes, I have many more projects floating around in my mind but these are just a few I thought I would share with you!

Until Next Time,

Fall/Halloween Decor

October 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We have finally finished our interior decorating for Fall/Halloween. I love digging through the decorations that I have saved from year to year.  It brings back memories of when all the boys were little. The decoration are not fancy but they are special.  Most of them were picked out by the boys when they were still being pushed around in the stroller.  I remember when my oldest was just a tiny little thing and he did not speak for the longest time but every morning when he came down and I sat him in his highchair for breakfast he would use sign language for light which meant he wanted me to turn on the Halloween Village lights that I had sitting on the kitchen counter.  I still pull that village out every year and he is a Freshman in College.  So here are a few of my Fall/Halloween decorations that we enjoy from year to year.

pumpkin

I love this pumpkin.  It has such a pretty glow but my favorite thing in this photo is a picture of my two oldest out trick or treating with me and my dad (which you can see in the corner of this photo). Love it!!

Halloween Tree

This is my Halloween Tree that we decorate every year.  If you look close enough you can see the pumpkin at the base of the tree that my youngest made when he was in preschool.  He is now in 4th grade (he is my tech guy that I refer to in my blog)

Fall Halloween Mantle

This is my fall mantel that I showed you here (where you can learn how to make the chalkboard banner).  So some old favorites mixed in with some new DIY decorations.

Remember the flea market that I mentioned here?  Well I found this…

Thrift Shop FInd

And turned it into this…

Cloche Decorated for Fall

and then this…

Cloche for Halloween Decorating

This is one of the Village pieces I was talking about earlier…not the fanciest but so special to me!

 Up next will be the exterior of the house.  I like to do the pretty Fall decorating but I promised my youngest that we could do “scary” outside this year.  I guess Fall flowers and pumpkins do not count for scary
