Metamorphosis Monday

Hi there! I'm back with a Before IKE and After IKE of the rebuilding of my craft studio. If you visited me on a previous MM you may have seen that we have been slowly getting my studio back in order but with a slightly new look. Softer pink, new desk setup, new art on the walls and new hardwood floor. Please be sure to check back as there are still curtains to go up as well as new area rug to replace the temporary piece of cut carpet. Hope you have a chance to go and visit our Hostess Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see all the other before/afters playing along.

One last note: Please take a few minutes to click on the button to the left to place a vote for Skidaddle Bags to help Maria with her new business. Also, if you can take a look by clicking on the Skidaddle Logo so you can go and check out the awesome bags that were inspired by her daughter who has diabetes. Hope you have a great Monday and hugs from Texas!

Metamorphosis Monday

Happy Monday! I'm off today, yeah! I came across a couple of great blogs this weekend and so I have decided to participate in a fun blog event. Each Monday the blog "Between Naps on the Porch" will be hosting Metamorphosis Monday. All you have to do to play along is post a before and after shot of a project you have taken on. I've decided to share the before/after of our bar, the before were colors chosen by the previous home owner. When my husband bought the house he purchased some art that would work with the colors. However, once I came into the picture I quickly suggested, OK, insisted that we put our own touches to it. I think we did pretty good, we replaced the cabinet doors with custom made doors. My DH took one of the doors off and built a wine bottle holder. My dad installed the HD Laminate counter and I did the faux treatment. The one thing that I need to change is the color of the ceiling, it is too white and stands out entirely too much. Also, the trim at the base of the bar is tiny, and we are slowly replacing it with a taller baseboard just haven't made it to the living room yet. You can see I painted the bottom of the small wall to the right of the bar to check the color. We still have to paint the entire livingroom so the color will change from the taupe like color you see.
