New Lighting & a New Look for the Hall Bath

Over the last few months,  I have been gradually updating the lighting in our home.   
First, the kitchen got new lighting over the island and then just a few weeks ago the laundry room got a makeover and new lighting.    The next room in line for new lighting was the hall bath.     H claims this bathroom,   so I decided to create a fun new look for it along with the new lighting.

There's a New Chicken in the Hen House

I had been checking on this chicken since way back in early November.....hoping the store would still have some left when the after Christmas sale started.

Farmhouse Corner Unit from Old Doors

There is a good sized area on the side of the refrigerator that I change the decor out for holidays and seasons.   It is the busiest intersection in the house and I try to keep it fresh.

French Farmhouse Banner & Lavender Flower Bar

I hope you guys enjoy seeing my new banner as much as I enjoyed making it!       I find making banners so relaxing....cutting out all the elements for my banner then playing with them until they look just right.

Winter / Valentine Master Bedroom

It's so hard for me to decorate after Christmas. 
  I would happily skip right into decorating for spring, ,  but it's still a little early to do that......so I will try my best to decorate the master bedroom in a Winter /  Valentine theme even tho my heart is singing SPRING.

Whimsical Farmhouse Valentine / Windmill Mantel

I had been thinking about designing a mantel using wind mills as the theme,    and I couldn't decide whether to do the wind mill mantel or a Valentine mantel.

Simple Valentine Mantel

Packing away all the Christmas decor has been OVERWHELMING to say the least.....lol!    The thought of getting out Valentine totes and unpacking them has not been very appealing to me,   so I decided to just put out a few simple pieces to just give a hint of Valentine's Day.

Laundry Room Makeover Reveal

The laundry room makeover all began with the washer deciding it would stop working the first week in December.    It had been about 7 years since the laundry room had been painted,  so we decided that when we took out the old washer and dryer we would paint over the pale yellow walls with a fresh coat of white paint .

Fresh Window Treatment and Farmhouse Chandelier for the Laundry Room

The walls are freshly painted,     new washer and dryer installed and now it's time to have some fun decorating the laundry room.

Pink Buffalo Check & Farmhouse Chandelier

I packed away the last of the Christmas decor in the kitchen yesterday.     

We've Made more Progress on the Utility Room Makeover

H and I have been very busy the last few days.       H has made lots of progress on the utility room make over and I have almost all of the Christmas decor packed away......whew....what a job that was!

Happy New Year from sunny New Mexico! 

  The sun is shining today and we're expecting a high of 57.....what a great way to start the new year.

My First Big Project for 2020....the Utility Room

Our washer decided to stop working the first week in December........wouldn't you know it would quit working around the holidays!    We decided to replace both the washer and dryer since they were over 15 years old.     The new ones we picked out were a special order and didn't come in until after Christmas.     In fact they won't be delivered until tomorrow. 

Transitioning from Christmas to Winter Decor

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas.     I'm always a little sad when Christmas is over,   but then I get excited to start a new year.

It's a Wrap

I love to decorate for Christmas....wrap presents?....not so much!
