Renovation heaven

After moving into our new home last year we started off on a full year of renovations and updates to make this house truly our home. The latest move was taking an unused space in our house and finishing it to our new master bedroom. As we finished the work we were deciding on what we should do with our furniture and we decided we should get some new accent pieces to make our new room really our new room. One of the biggest items we wanted was a Great Decorative Clock to accent our furniture. Being that we are so busy with our projects and running the kids around we decided to go Shopping online for a grandfather clock instead of a traditional store. We really take a lot of pride in our Home Decor and like to take time to think through our choices before buying. We really thought this would be an easy choice but we were surprised at the selection that was available to us. We are considering settling on one of the Howard Miller Clocks It certainly has been an exciting experience working together with hubby on making our bedroom, it's almost set up as an apartment on the house as it has the bedroom with walk in closet along with a workout area and our sitting area with our TV and couches, it will look great once we get our grandfather clock to finish the sitting area.

Home Decorating

We recently relocated to a new city and purchased an big beautiful older style home. The house has a lot of great character that we were able to accent with our own accessories to turn it into our home. Luckily we have been through a few moves now so we have had the opportunity to decorate a new home a few times so we really knew what we wanted to do this time around.
We wanted to improve the decor of the outside of our home and needed to upgrade a few things. We are lucky to have a fantastic yard with a beautiful big apple tree that really added character to the back yard so we needed to focus on the entry and front yard area first. One factor was deciding on whether we wanted to look at wall mount mailboxes or curbside mail boxes it was a challange because of beautiful selection of boxes available.
To increase our curb appeal we also looked into an assortment of curbside decorations to add some "pop" to our front yard. The final touch was to replace the tired old house number as we were recently re addressed for the 911 system so we had to shop the selection of Address Plaques to put the final touch on our home.

Home Decorating

With our recent relocation we purchased an older home with lot's of character and space for all the kids to run around. We really wanted to modernize the look of our house. The house has a beautiful antique fireplace which we re-tiled and found some blomus stainless steel fire place accessories to accent the beauty of it.
One of our biggest renovation projects so far has been the kitchen where we re-built the cabinates and painted with a beautiful burgandy and black accent. We really wanted to make the kitchen "POP" to go with our new appliances we had purchased so we found some fantastic blomus stainless steel kitchen accessories . It has been alot of fun working together to make this house our home where we plan to spend many more years to come.
The final touch to our outside renovation was blomus stainless steel house numbers to beautify the entrance to our home and replace the dated faded plastic numbers that had been left behind by the previous owners.
