Bailey Jo's Mom,
I had that same door in my last house! DH installed it. We loved it!! You'll love the internal blinds. Everyone who saw it always commented on how great an idea that is.
As for what to do, I say do nothing. I don't think a door like that needs any dressing up. I sometimes like the clean lines of an untreated window or door.

| | | | | | | I couldn't open the links for the 2 other pics you posted, but I agree it might look a little bare if you had nothing on either side of the window/picture frame (please post pics of that with your pictures in it, I'm dying to get a visual of this as I want to do it too!). Maybe if you rearranged the smaller pictures, spaced them out a little bit, and maybe didn't have quite as many of the smaller pics. Like maybe just 2-3 spaced randomly on either side of the window/picture frame. Hope that made sense. I'm all for random-arranging. Great excuse not to have to measure, IMO.

| | | | | | | Okay, ladies! I am one item away from finishing my pink polka dotted kitchen/dining room theme. I am in search of 2 light pink pillar candles for my candle sconces. Once I can find those, then I will post pics. It is the most froo-froo girly kitchen I have ever seen- totally perfect for me! DH has been so nice with letting me do what I want. Heck- he is outnumbered- there are 3 girls and him.
I must find those candles so that I can finish it and show it off! LOL

| | | | Kohl's has some great decorating deals in 70% off clearance plus take an additional 25% off. I got an apothocary jar (filled with Christmas ornaments I put away for kids projects next year) for $3. They had framed chalk boards, picture frames, candle holders, iron work pieces, etc. all way marked down as well as lots of table clothes and shower curtains if you are looking for fabric. They had a huge pottery plate that would look cool in a plate/photo stand on an armoire and some blue and clear glass plates that would work for candle holders with some sea glass around it. Lots of cool things... | | | | | | | Hello! Mainly a lurker here, but I need some decortating help as well and this thread has some awesome ideas. We just moved in to our new house and have NO window treatments at all yet. On the top of my priority list is my kitchen window. When I'm making dinner around 5:00, the sun is coming directly in that window and I can't see a thing. I love the table runner as a valance idea (simple... my kind of style!) But I need help with what color/pattern to use in my kitchen. I've been searching on ebay and I'd love some opinions! Here's my kitchen: It's kind of a dark picture sorry. The wall color is called Manatee Grey, but have a definite green tint to them. My countertops are pretty bold (they are a slate tile), so I'm thinking something more simple as far as pattern goes.  Here are some I was considering. Any opinions are appreciated!      Or what about this sage green valance?  And one more question... what should I put up as my main shade? Blinds? Roman Shade? Curtain? What color? Thanks so much for any opinions or suggestions! _______________________________ Miranda, mom to: Braden 6/13/04 Aubrey 4/24/06  | | | | | - Date: 3/20/08

| | | | I do love this thread  .
I am looking forward to the Decorating Divas on the new boards. I have seen a couple people comment on keeping pictures straight.
My tip is to use two hangers rather than one.
I use 2 on ALL my pictures, spaced a few inches apart (farther apart on larger pictures, closer on smaller pictures).
The only ones I hang form a single hook are the really small ones.
I also use the small rubber pads on the bottom corners to help keep them from shifting and also keep them from marking up the walls.  Just because you can doesn't mean you should! | | | | | | | I have a question!!!! When making valances or a table runner could you use (i dont remeber the name of the product) that no sewing hem??? I think you put the strip in between the fabric and iron?? Has any one used this ??? On a second not I cant wait for the Decorating Divas on the new board....I am a loser and didnt get an invite but I am loving this thread and ideas!!! I always check this thread in the morning to see what is added!!! Andrea PS. I also love the monogramming thread!! | | | | | | | I posted a separate thread on this but realized I'd probably have better luck asking for help right on this thread!
I need help with this bathroom. We just took down the Blue's Clues decor that the kids have deemed too babyish, and gone with this: 
The skylight:  
It's pale yellow, lots of natural light from the skylight. Surfboard shower curtain, waste basket and curtain hooks - very little counter space so I'd probably have to do something on the wall. Any ideas?
Oh, and here's my "practical" tip to add to this thread, not as cool decor as it is helpful. We hung an over the door shoe holder on the shower hooks in the kids' shower to hold all their toys, shampoos, etc. Totally hidden from the outside, keeps things organized inside. With as many kids of differeing age brackets using it, we've got everything from razors and nailbrushes to snorkles and goggles. Works well for us!
| | | | | | | Where did you get that shoe organizer? I haven't seen mesh pockets before on those. Thanks. | | | | | | | Lovemylilones... Can we get a close up on the colors in the counter tile? I feel like your color needs to come from there rather than choosing another green...?!? K | | | | | | | Everyone's DIYs look amazing!! I find myself reading so many posts and going 'Oh yeah... now I know how to do that!' This is the best thread!! I have a decor question that I know someone will have the answer too. We currently have a chocolate brown dining set we bought last year. It's sort of an 'elegant' style (alas, very cheap...) The chairs are wooden with a sleigh back on them with little 'windows' we'll call them along the top 6" and then have a cream coloured damask fabrick on the rest of the back (framed by the wood) and seat. I hate this set. I'm thinking of painting the whole thing black (china cabinet and all) and recovering the seats in a black and cream/white toile, or floral B&W toile, or a B&W damask with cinnamon/red accent pillows for windows and benches, possibly lamp shades. I don't want this room to feel too bold though, I want it to have warmth and make people feel comfortable and relaxed, and B&W don't do that too well. So what colour walls should I have that'll compliment the B&W, not be too bold, but not clash? The walls are currently pink peppercorn (Light beige, NO pink despite the name) and our floors are cherrywood. I'll need one mistreatment for the one measly window (this room is not very bright) as well. I'd post pictures but our diningroom is in the basement because we were testing out the ' playroom' theory in the diningroom which isn't working. I've done the B&W in my kitchen and am just not feeling it (mostly because the walls are orange ((We didn't paint them)) and it just doesn't flow) so I'm hoping this works and isn't too 'trendy' that I'll be tired of it next week. Thanks so much!!! Jenn DD 02/20/05 DD 09/15/06 EDD 08/03/08 | | | | | | | Sure thing... I'll take some right now.

Are they rough? Easy to clean? I love the colors in them. I think you could go with any of those colors....reds, yellows or greens. I like the striped one you chose. But if you don't get much natural light in there I would probably go with yellow to brighten the space since your counters are so dark. I love the kitchen!! | | | | | | | Gorgeous counter tops! I've never seen anything like them. I'm interested to hear about cleaning/maintenance too! Jenn DD 02/20/05 DD 09/15/06 EDD 08/03/08 | | | | | | | ohiomomto4 - have you checked out www.wallies.com ? The have cutouts that would go perfect with your bathroom surf theme. They are self-adhesive/prepasted and they are so simple to apply, look great and when you go to remove them, they just peel off (no damage to surface)! Just wanted to share. Kris Brandon 11/6/02 Jenna Grace 1/3/07 | | | | | | | There is a lot of natural light coming from the dining room during the day. That pic was taken at night so it looks extra dark. I'm leaning toward the striped one as well, to bring out the colors from the counter. Something yellow or really red would clash with the wall color.
Oh, the counters are not smooth, but not rough where you'd hurt yourselves on them lol, just a little bumpy. I found the tile and fell in love with it, but thought it would be way too busy for a floor, so I begged my husband into agreeing they'd make a great counter top! I really love how it came out. They clean easily, but I don't prepare anything directly on them... I always use a cutting board or a plate.
Thank you for your input!!

I love those huge bulletin boards they have in Ballard Designs and Pottery Barn (the $300-$400 ones). Of course can not afford them......so we made our own. We went to Menards (this might be a Midwestern chain, but is similar to Lowe's or Home Depot) and bought a cork board that looks like granite. Then purchased crown molding. We bought a fairly plain-Jane crown, but you could buy something fancier to dress it up even more. My dh cut and mitered the crown molding and I painted it black. Then we attached it to the granite cork (it matches my countertops!!) and wah-lah....instant classy looking bulletin board. It is like a magnet when people walk into our kitchen, they immediately go over there and start checking everything out on it. Oh......I think the whole project cost us less than $25!   | | | | | | | tenderheart.com is having a huge sale on their spring sale.

*praying for a speedy placement of baby sisters!* | | | | | | | For those who did the curtains that are the mistreated ones (or whatever they are called for the nester blog) did you use regular material or the heavy upholstrey kind? Also, how did you know how much to buy? | | | | | | | Hmm... I hadn't thought of yellow/gold, but now that you say that I can picture it and it would be quite nice, even with the cinnamon/red accents I think! Thanks! Maybe something like Tobacco Road in The Nesters house... I really love that cork board, I didn' t know they made the cork to look like anything besides cork, what a great idea!! It looks wonderful! Jenn DD 02/20/05 DD 09/15/06 EDD 08/03/08 | | | | | | | Love your light covers! What did you paint them with?
| | | | | | | This is a totally random question..... When do you all find the time, energy, patience, solitude.....whatever you want to call it, to paint??? lol. I really need to do some re-painting in our house and it is just one of those projects that is hanging there over my head and I just can't seem to find the time/energy to dive into it. My dh runs a business and works a lot of hours, I SAH with dd (who is 17 months) and I just can't seem to figure out when I am going to do it. I am one of those people that hates clutter and things have to be picked up and put away, so that doesn't help my "need to paint, but am putting it off" situation. Do you paint at night, on weekends and have dh help, during lo's naps, have friends or parents come help you??? This thread and The Nesting Place (thanks to whoever posted that link.....LOVE IT!) has inspired me to just get the painting done before summer. I know once summer is here we'll be outside and I will for sure not do it. Can anyone give me any tips or ideas or just some MOTIVATION for crying out loud??!!! lol  | | | | | | | Sorry, I have no motivation about painting. We have moved 3 times in 4 years and I am so done with painting. I did our bedroom, dd's bedroom and the living/dining room back before Christmas because we were having houseguests.
Our kitchen still has old lady wallpaper and beige walls as does the guest room and the hallway and the foyer and the basement family room and the bathrooms.
The thought of taking down wallpaper is dauntig. I, too, hate clutter and I know it will take us more than one weekend to accomplish the task and I will be living in a mess for 2 weeks.
Good luck to you...
| | | | | | | You didn't ask me, but I wanted to let you know that I found one of those mesh things to hold my bathroom stuff at the dollar store, total bargain! When it gets gross, I throw it in the washing machine. | | | | | | | Just wanted to share a not so bargain piece but definately my favorite piece of living room decor! Sorry for the bad picture, I'll include the link to the website though so you can see it better. 
http://www.ticktockcollection.com/index.htm It was $60 but it was also a get together with friends. It takes 3-4 hours and so we did a dinner party and played games while we waited for each layer of paint to dry etc. I know this particular company is only in Utah but maybe there are similar ones elsewhere. This is my other favorite piece: 
It hangs above my tv, I just like that it's not the plain old vinyl wall words, I have enough of those already lol. It was only about $20 too! | | | | | | | earthenways - It is possible to have this done but it will be somewhat expensive. You will need to hire a professional glazer. The glazer will most likely tell you that they can not guarantee the original mirror will come down in usable condition; it could break or the coating on the backside of the mirror could come off where the glue is. I had to hire a glazer to remove a mirror at work a few years ago. I *think* it was around $200. It was a very large panel mirror. It was not usable when it came down but it did not break. I would actually recommend a glazer to anyone removing a large mirror. Piece of mind and cheaper than a trip to the ER. :) | | | | | | | I saw a cute idea in a magazine the other day and forgot to save it and scan the picture in to show you guys! They used wallpaper to cover just the front of the drawers on a dresser. The wall paper was patterned and coordinated with the wall color. The sides/frame of the dresser was painted. It looked really sharp!  
Emmaline - allergic to dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, treenuts, dogs, horses, grasses | | | | | | | Ellie - as far as motivation, just think of how dramatically different the room will look with a new coat of paint. If you hate clutter, all of the sudden the room just looks cleaner with new paint. I usually paint after the kids are in bed. What time does dd go to bed? Change into your painting clothes right then, and then get to it. You can get quite a bit done in a couple of hours, but depending on the project, that room could be mayhem for several days. You could try doing it during nap time, too, or in the evening if your dh is willing to keep tabs on the kiddos for you. A few days of painting clutter is so worth it, though! Your room will look great. Here's my other painting tip - after you are done painting the room, and getting ready to put the switch plates back on, take the extra time to turn off the electricity and change out the plugs and switches if you still have those old 80s beige ones. Switching to clean, fresh white ones makes a huge impact. They are super cheap, it's just a little more hassle to change the plug itself. Mary | | | | | | | Thanks ladies - I have spent a good portion of my day reading all of these threads. My hand hurts! Great ideas. Don't have much to add, but I had a photo in PB of the pictures going up our stairs. Family pictures, like everyone else, but in an unusual size. 
You can get square prints from mpix.com (great quality too) in 12X12 and 10x10. These frames are from Exposures. You could do something similar for much less $$$ by using scrapbook or record album frames. And . . . Anyone else live in an old house (ours is 1890s) with radiator pipes in every room and things like that? Would love some ideas to hide them a bit. Way, way back, someone mentioned a "softball" idea . . . what was the original idea? I couldn't find it but I'm intrigued.

I have seen the pictures you took of your kids in your siggy and they (both the kids and the photographs) are absolutly beautiful.
You really have a gift for capturing the essense of your subject and not just taking a pretty picture. It's like you can take a picture of their soul. Amazing.
| | | | | | | Wow! What creative ladies and great hints. I usually just lurk but had to join in and say "Great Job" on all your projects.

Such great ideas ladies, I have enjoyed this thread so much!
Lisa
| | | | | | | I got it at Ikea for 10 dollars I think. I got the flowers on sale from JoAnn's and took the buds and hot glued them to the top. Thanks | | | | | | | I saw those fishbowls, last year anyways, at Walmart. | | | | | | | How many of you have a 2 story foyer?? What type of decor do you use if you have a huge space between the front door and large window? I was hoping to get some ideas. I was thinking of doing the nester's star formation.. what do you have there? | | | | | | | During my spring break I intended to do taxes, clean closets, dust, cook for my family...blah, blah, blah.
Instead I have spent way too much time and money at H.Lobby, BL, Goodwill, Target, etc. I've enjoyed rearranging my own stuff and adding two $50 footed glass bowls (new w/ tags at GW) that I scored for $5 each, lots of fake lemons, a new bulletin board for my kitchen (covered the cork w/ scrapbookpaper and made my own push pins w/ metal letter tiles and hot glue), and started hinting to dh that we need to change those monstrous mirrors in our bathrooms and paint our brass light fixtures outside. Not what I intended, but productive none-the-less.
Question #1: Once you change the color of your outdoor light fixtures....do you have to change the front door knob, too. Should I spray it the same? Has anyone done this? I sprayed an indoor doorknob once and the paint kept coming off (due to use, I guess) and it was a little sticky.
Question #2: to all you scrapbookers w/ big 12X12 photo albums....where do you store them? I don't have a shelf that deep (and they don't coordinate w/ each other or their surroundings). I've stopped scrapbooking and make photobooks online instead, but I don't want to get rid of my work.
  | | | | | | | Are those old windows? Did you just tape on the back and hang them on your wall. Love to hear about it.
Jennifer
| | | | | | | As far as painting, I always taped during the day while they played, and then did one wall at a time during naps or after they went to bed. I could easily cut the edges and then roll a wall in that period of time. And since I'd finish the whole wall at once, it didn't dry funny.

 | | | | | | | For the mistreated window treatments-- I found the heavier the fabric, the better. It's easier to hide the edges and it usually hangs nicer and easier than the lighter fabric (I used silk on two windows though-- they were much harder to get nice looking that the heavy fabric). I don't think it has to be as heavy as upholstery fabric to work well, but it shouldn't be too silky. As far as how much to buy-- I guessed. Of course it depends if you just want a valance or the length of the window. I used about 3 1/2 yards for my floor to almost ceiling drapes. I would guess high rather than low-- you can always use the extra fabric for pillows or other decor. HTH. | | | | | | | A

| | | | | | | TwoTimes the Love - I would LOVE to see your bulletin board? Do you have any pics? I have been considering doing one of them for my kitchen but
didn't even think about scrapbook paper!
Val Ava 2*20*01 and Tanner 12*20*05  | | | | | | | I was actually just posting the pics for casualmomma, those are her frames. I wanna do it too! I saw a bunch of beat up old window frames at an antique store the other day. I think she did tape them on. I think you could also add paper (plain or decorative) behind the picture for a mat effect.

| | | | | | | LOL Wiggles, I was thinking the same thing! I'm so happy that there are so many great ideas and such great support here! Has anyone been on the board at the new site? How are things going there? I'd love to hear about other great ideas if people are posting there as well. I'm headed to Kirklands tomorrow for a few things and will post back with pics. I pulled out some old Target clearance Smith & Hawken ornaments (dried oranges/balls/etc.) for fillers in a glass bowl and they turned out really nice.

 | | | | | | | I finished my apothecary jars - YAY! I gave up the Beta idea (I had NO CLUE they didn't like the small bowls you always see them in  ) and went with a bird/nest combo instead (a la Nester).  Then I totally redid my mantle. Here is before with cluttered cheap silver frames  And here is after. TA DA!  (Yes, I know I need new candles for the end candle holders  ) I'm just not sure of the arrangement. Does this way look better? Help!  Those picture frames in the first picture were the ones I spray painted with the hammered finish spray paint. I put them over the TV. (Please forgive the blank frame, I have to print a pic for that one)  The room looks 100% better. Tomorrow I'm going to try to finish up my window mistreatments in there! Zoë, mommy to Brody 2/16/06 and Walker 8/28/07  | | | | | | | I can't find your name in the drop box.......I like the arrangement with the jars in the middle......but I would place them a little closer to one another. My beta fish love their small containers (the 4 that I have had). In fact, right now I have one small tank with a center that is split, to house one fish per side, with the divider hiding the other fish so they don't get mad and want to fight. It does have a lid too, but it is airated (sp?). Love the shelf with the frames! | | | | | | | The iron in stuff is call Stitch Witchery. I don't see why you couldn't use it. My friend made panel curtains with it.
| | | | | | | I love the bulletin board you made. Great idea!
Do you remember where you bought that computer desk? I'm looking for something like that.
| | | | | | | SouthernCurl I used a "hammered" copper spray pain. Those were just cheapy white plastic light switch covers.

 | | | | | OMG Bethany I did that to our dresser! I used a border because it was almost the perfect width for a drawer. It started out as a crappy old dark laminate dresser.  -ShannSkylar 6/02
Sydney 3/06
| | | | | | | Thanks so much Shan! I will def. give the light plates a try this weekend to see how they come out. I think the exact color that you used would go perfect in our kitchen.
| | | | | | | Val: The board was 1/2 off at HL (39.99). I just put some paper over the cork with repsoitionalable glue dots. Nothing too exciting, but it's a huge accomplishment for not-at-all-crafty me. I think the paper will end up looking kinda' shabby as it gets holes in it, so I bought extra paper and didn't use a ton of glue so I think it'll easily come off. I might even change the paper for the holidays (???).....no, that might be too much effort. Any suggestions? -Kelly  | | | | | | | Zoe - Great before and afters! I love what you did. | | | | | | | I love the dresser with the wallpaper it looks awesome I think I will do that with my nightstands in my room. my bed is a leather sleighbe and I wad having a hard time finding anything that would look good but now I think I have solved that problem. I like the wallpaper you have where did you get it. Thanks Autum | | | | | | | ZOE - I LOVE what you did with your mantle. I like the first "after" shot you posted better (but I have a thing about symetry). Also, where did you get those LONG photo shelves?
I love them too!

| | | | Zoe, your new mantel looks awesome! I really like the pic with the jars in the middle. Great job!
~Jenny  | | | | | | | I need help with my Foyer. I have a new rug. I still need something by the stairs. I have found a cranberry red hand painted pedestal table and wonder if I should buy it for the corner. Plus what to do by the door? Before the new rug. 
   | | | | | | | I would suggest an umbrella holder. Like a tall container for by the door. You could also find a small basket or pretty ceramic flat bowl to place on the new pedestal table for keys and whatnot.
Catherine
| | | | | | | I really like the new rug - you managed to pull in the stair & adjoining room carpet color, yet pull in pretty gold and red - very pretty! And I love the transom over your door, so nice & it looks like you have a covered area over your front steps with beautiful columns? I would love to do something like that with our home (would be smaller scaled, I think) would you mind posting a pic of it? tia! hmmm, I'm trying to think of ideas for you - I'm sure someone else will have some great ones for you! mum to two little love bugs - soon to be mom of 3

Edited 3/21/08 by ***Shan*** | | | | | | | Zoe - I love the new mantle. I like the symmetric one better, but I have a weird thing with symmetry like the PP. And Shan! The dresser with the border is lovely! I really think it looks so good; the paper you picked is perfect with the color of the dresser, and you're right - it looks to be the perfect size without a lot of cutting work! | | | | | | | baseballmom - LOVE the new rug! I agree either an umbrella stand, or tall skinny round basket, something like that, for the corner. To pp with the reorganized mantle - I like the first with the pictures on either side, also, but think the jars need to be grouped together still. Maybe just off center of the mirror. I love the colored glass balls in one of your jars - what are they? Pixie I'm confused... wait, maybe I'm not. | | | | | | | Thanks for all the compliments! I have the mantle set up like the first picture, only the jars are slightly closer together. I think I'm going to keep it like that, at least for now. LuvMyLilOnes - I got the shelves at Target. They're pretty lightweight, but they look really nice. MightyPixie - The colored glass balls are exactly that - colored glass balls!  I got them a few years ago at Pier 1. To the PP with the new rug - LOVE IT! I really like the round shape. I think a cranberry table would look great with it. Zoë, mommy to Brody 2/16/06 and Walker 8/28/07 | | | | | | | Question about the bulletin board... because I am a moron, how exactly do you do it? Does the cork board sit behind the molding and you nail right into it? Do you have to cut it to the molding? I am confused....I know nothing about this stuff. Kristin

4/17/05 | | | | | | | Warning: dumb question/s to follow. Do they make scrapbook paper that looks like a map? Do you think I could buy some and frame it like a picture for my entertainment center? It's a thought, instead of buying real maps, like dh wants to do. What do you all think? Also...where can I get scrapbook paper , I don't scrapbook can you tell. I'm wondering if Kirkland's is having an Easter sale? I feel a need to go there. | | | | | | | I think the table by the stairs is a good idea , on the table I would put a basket for keys maybe and a nice picture frame with some nice matching candles and holders or a nice plate on a plate stand like you can find at Kirklands. What about either one or two (for either side of the door) tall plant stands that you could put those green ivy plants on? That way they'll drape down toward the floor, I think that you have enough light for it. You could also put a standing coat rack there, maybe with an umbrella stand incorporated into the base? You could also put a tall ficus tree there. I'll keep thinking... | | | | | - Date: 3/21/08

| | | | I have plastic blinds that are discolored from the sun. I found out they were defective, but had a baby instead of taking the time to return them and the company went out of business. Anyway...think I could spray paint them? Suggestions? I am luvin this thread and can't wait to start mistreating my windows especially since they only have blinds.
