Spring Round-Up Remodel .. Hooked on Fridays

Tim the Remodeling Guy

is hosting a

Spring Round-Up

Remodel Party.

Tim is hosting this party to give

some of his readers a chance

to showcase

and showoff some of their

hard work.

This party runs from

May 1st - May 3rd

so it's not to late to get in on the fun.

Make sure you stop by and see

all the hard work everyone has

been up to.

I'm also participating in

Hooked on Fridays

Hosted by: Julia at Hooked on Houses

Some of the things I've decided to share

are a few projects that Jeff and I have

been working on these last few months.

I have tons of old pine furniture that

is old and outdated looking.

With funds short

and the desire to spruce up things

around the home.. We decided

the best way was to make new

what we already had.

This stand is one that we had stored away and

brought back to life for use as

a TV stand in Ashley's newly revamped

bedroom.

I sanded it down and

painted it black.

I gave it a lil distressing and

replaced the door pulls.

Below are samples of the

new theme that she has chosen

for her room..

The black goes very well with

the black and white theme.

This next piece is an old

pine clock that was given to me

almost 20 years

ago by my Mom when I moved out

for college.

It was all handmade by a gentleman

the same one actually that made the above

TV stand.. that made things for

a lil craft store my Mom owned.

I sanded it down really well

and rolled this one with

American Accents Smooth

Semi-Gloss Black that

I purchased from Lowe's.

Gave it a bit of distressing also and

changed the white ceramic

knob to an antique brass one.

I love it again.






This next piece is from a
suite that my parents had
way back in the 70's.
It had been stored in a barn
where it had gotten
a lil bit of water damage.







I loved all the details this piece has ..
plus I love that it reminds me of
my parents.

I used my hand sander and
was able to get all of the old
varnish off and smooth
out the water damage.





The handles were really nasty and the brass
had turned that ugly green... so I orginally
wanted to replace them.






Ashley had suggested that I just paint them
white.. I figured what harm would it do..
I was just gonna toss them anyway.
She loves it.. I think it turned out
very nice , and matches
her whole Zebra theme.





These next few pictures are a work in
progress.

This picture is a shot of my dining
room .. where I had just removed the
wallpaper boarder just above
and below the chair rail.

I was trying to decide on
the new colors I wanted.

Plus this is where you can see
the old color on our walls.




Before shot of our ceiling and the
trey border.
My new ceiling fan isn't up
yet.. but it's a beautiful
black iron with cherry blades
ceiling fan we purchased at Lowe's.




This next picture I'm almost embarassed to show..
but hopefully you'll scroll back up and see
that my ceiling didn't really look that nasty
until you could compare it to the newly
painted section.

HUGE difference huh?
The old looks like dirty pond water...
I was seriously gagging when I saw it.

I'm proud to say.. and very proud of my
hardworking Husband..
that all of the ceilings in
our home now have this
beautiful clean looking ceiling.

The new paint in the Den..
It's a summerset harvest gold color.
Pictures don't do it justice and it's
a major difference for us.
We wanted to go bold .. and
bold we did.



Another shot of the Den...
with the finished ceilings and gold trey insert.


I have new 2" white wooden blinds to finish
installing and finish the molding and trimboard.

Oh and we're in the process of ripping out the
carpet. Our house is built on a concrete slab
and I've decided instead of going with
hardwood flooring right now that
I'm gonna try my hand at
staining the concrete.
I've seen it done .. and it's beautiful.
Can't wait to get that finished and
show it to y'all.
Wish me Luck!

Thanks for stopping by to share in
my lil remodeling projects..
Make sure you head back over to
Tim's
and see all the hard work
everyone else has been up to.



Thank You For Visiting

Have A Blessed Day,
