We finally finished my youngest son’s room. He wanted to pick the paint colour and was very determined to have dill pickle green. The paint we used was Martha Stewart’s Dill. It is a little bright for me but he loves it. My husband worked very hard this fall building his bed and it turned out beautifully. We also replaced the lineoleum floor with a rich brown laminate flooring.

This homeowners’ hallway was updated recently as they are selling their home. They contacted me to help them choose paint colours for their home to neutralize and freshen up their rooms. The paint colour I chose for the hallway was Benjamin Moore’s CC490 Stone Hearth. It helped to neutralize the colour of their living room that could be seen from the front door. The homeowner had recently painted their living & dining room combination a nice fresh green. The spindles on the stairs were painted white and the railing was stained dark to match the recently stained steps. The hallway is now is updated and modernized.
If you need assistance adding wow factor to your home or neutralize your rooms for selling I would be happy to assist you. You can email me at lalonded@yahoo.ca.

Vanilla candles add warmth and coziness to a room. They smell wonderful without being overpowering. They look good during the day and lit at night. I like to find different ideas for displaying them. Here is some inspiration!

Here is a great tip for area rugs that slide around on the floor. It is simple and inexpensive. Just apply caulking in narrow strips to the bottom side of the rug. Let dry and turnover.

I find that the house feels bare after you put away all of the christmas decorations. It is nice to reorganize and simplify but I think it is nice to find a way to add some brightness to your winter days. I love these ideas…..

Check out this great DIY! using Mod Podge and lace. This look adds a lot of texture and interest to an otherwise plain jane vase.
