You know me, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you know one of the things I'd love</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about being in a new house, would be to see how </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it looked all dressed up for Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's fun to see how all our old decorations look in a new space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added two things this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

love. love. love. love. love.<br />
how it turned out<br />
We made it personal by adding our established date:<br />
'this house believing since 1993.'<br />
Twenty-five years.<br />

Moving on...</div>

And look forward to the experiences that this chapter will bring.</div>

If you are struggling with the experience you are having right now </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you will take courage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Open your heart to the possibility of making a change. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even if it scares you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Expect good.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I certainly don't want to offend anyone who might read this from the area that we recently moved from. Just different strokes for different folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to know many wonderful people and I understand why many of them love it there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I had grown up there and had family around me, I would love it too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My guess is that we felt about the way they would if they were asked to move to the suburbs of Seattle :) I hope everyone will understand and not take offense.</div>

it has been nearly one year exactly </div>

One: it seems like forever </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and at the same time just yesterday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since we moved to South Carolina.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is a spacious bathroom--lots of wall space for lots of--wallpaper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took us many tools and many hours to get that tub out that was secured remarkably well.</div>

Lots of brass--which I realize is coming back--but I had enough of it in the 80's.</div>

Did not redo the shower--the brass is still there if I ever change my mind (a hard no).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So grateful to have the huge projects done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kuddos to Doug for all his work, for this project he even had to do some plumbing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been nice to enjoy the house without something ripped up this past year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure what to do with myself without a project--maybe I'll take a bath;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved to our new home here in South Carolina</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we moved into a smaller house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With our daughter at college and our son soon to be on his way too,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we decided to downsize.<br />
(Well, inside anyway...our garage(s) and property are way more than we are used to!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNZ_BNJz-X3LRTjm6iE0C-0OYUnYekoUCfoQY3N4o1vW4D6HO87_JG2xpfh3nxDtC_ECumnI6qYQNS5QA4xiuUIhAfzoqo8qmxzt1-j7QYjtAcCz3tVe4-eKtKYNPhqx6GXGKOxeNToFw/s1600/Carson+Room+Beds1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNZ_BNJz-X3LRTjm6iE0C-0OYUnYekoUCfoQY3N4o1vW4D6HO87_JG2xpfh3nxDtC_ECumnI6qYQNS5QA4xiuUIhAfzoqo8qmxzt1-j7QYjtAcCz3tVe4-eKtKYNPhqx6GXGKOxeNToFw/s320/Carson+Room+Beds1.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So each of our sons left at home would have his own room.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I couldn't bear breaking up this bedroom set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I get a little attached to things I make with my own hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can read all about when I made these headboards <a href="http://mypineplace.blogspot.com/2014/03/boys-bedroom-update-to-jacksons.html">here.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went ahead and set up Jackson's bed in Carson's room, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even though he would have his own room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj17W1XYxMs5QPDeMLSkRA96mBAeAgpNn_u2_Hr77GSq1zaAH7oGhtIsmmQPcDOFu4_XAywWnDACEqn8AYXHtgOr1La6JalNYRpfh53SH5pxtG_0XczdqFd43vInW3UeBBbNpvpxU-2x1k/s1600/Carson+Room+Beds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj17W1XYxMs5QPDeMLSkRA96mBAeAgpNn_u2_Hr77GSq1zaAH7oGhtIsmmQPcDOFu4_XAywWnDACEqn8AYXHtgOr1La6JalNYRpfh53SH5pxtG_0XczdqFd43vInW3UeBBbNpvpxU-2x1k/s320/Carson+Room+Beds.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love the boys' rooms in our new home.<br />
The rooms are identical to each other and are separated by a bathroom.<br />
They sit at the top of the main staircase.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIR4An67KTK8ImItATgY6AoKD42hgMm9vrTr_93TCEf2XW4Y2yImPkoVTh0AUw4a2cEaCP8KvcNtVyjafWc8cCfvZ7jv47-pDHGQcp31Jr7wGz8gMKj2yIcqdv0uLfJKDhxq8NaZU1e9k/s1600/Carson+Room+Drums.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIR4An67KTK8ImItATgY6AoKD42hgMm9vrTr_93TCEf2XW4Y2yImPkoVTh0AUw4a2cEaCP8KvcNtVyjafWc8cCfvZ7jv47-pDHGQcp31Jr7wGz8gMKj2yIcqdv0uLfJKDhxq8NaZU1e9k/s320/Carson+Room+Drums.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
They each have this cute alcove.<br />
A mini hallway to the dormer window<br />
with a window seat and built in cabinet underneath.<br />
Perfect spot for Carson's drum set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3eEDHbjuLZZiOlYEyRy7TWmOTzscNII1FJ9AVP-KtzZcSHET4B0AAqQuC6Nif5c5H_HZYk61xR34F8ml6lEimssDn71dQbf8u8a3Q_lQxSKQoF0Pfv9OLXbVygmA8-OkhRIwEmg06X7U/s1600/Carson+Room+Closets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3eEDHbjuLZZiOlYEyRy7TWmOTzscNII1FJ9AVP-KtzZcSHET4B0AAqQuC6Nif5c5H_HZYk61xR34F8ml6lEimssDn71dQbf8u8a3Q_lQxSKQoF0Pfv9OLXbVygmA8-OkhRIwEmg06X7U/s320/Carson+Room+Closets.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
They also both have double closets.<br />
And they each have a huge storage closet that runs the whole length of their rooms.<br />
(You can see the door to it by the beds).<br />
I have more storage in this house than I know what to do with!<br />
Seriously, never had a home with so much.<br />
<br />
And as always, the before pictures:<br />

While this room was cute for a girl, it wasn't going to work for either of my boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
The only updating that was done was having the floor redone and a paint job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">

I found a great website called Decor Steals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been selfish not sharing with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their model is a 'deal of the day' type site.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They offer up one product a day and when it is gone, it's gone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, in reality the less people that know about it the better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that wasn't nice of me...<br />

Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas from South Carolina.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wreath in every window is the way in the South and we were happy to oblige the trandition.</div>

I may paint it again someday.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, before you say, 'hello, it was white'...it wasn't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a super light mint green.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, so light you can't detect it in the pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just going to have to take my word for it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Updates here were the aforementioned paint job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Added a lush area rug from Costco.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Removed window coverings and roller blinds to uncover beautiful plantation shutters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Added my favorite curtains from IKEA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Seriously, I have them in 9, N-I-N-E, windows in my house).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Join me on Friday when I reveal the outside of our house all dressed for Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that, I will take a break to enjoy Christmas with my family...so excited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meet me back here after Christmas to see my boys' rooms and our master bathroom redo!</div>

The one I'm revealing today is the upstairs bathroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sits right at the top of the stairs and in between my boys' bedrooms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to give a shout out to my husband...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We removed layers of wallpaper, ripped out the vanity, replaced light fixtures...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the roadblocks I ran into was the awkward spacing of this room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The vanity is shifted all the way to the left in the room, leaving a large open spot to the right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In an effort to save some cash but still fill the space, I decided to re-purpose the large mirror we had just taken down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some old fence wood I whitewashed and glued it to the glass giving it a rustic border.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And being as I don't have a full length mirror anywhere else in my house...I've found it very useful as well. </div>

Updates: the floors of course, which were done throughout the house.<br />
The wall color: I found a paint color called MT. RAINIER!<br />
For those of you who know me well, you know I had to.<br />

I did not want a TV in the family eating area and that created an unusable awkward corner built in (it's not a shelf, just a flat place for a wall mount TV). <br />
I made a simple cover for it out of feedsack fabric.<br />
We replaced the heavy light fixture with a simple (and inexpensive: $20 IKEA) light fixture.<br />
The rug is also from IKEA and I LOVE IT.<br />
Perfect texture and color for under a table. Vacuums easily and doesn't show spills.<br />
We found the blueprints for the house in a cupboard and I framed them in simple white IKEA frames on the opposite wall.<br />
Love how they turned out!<br />

One of the first rooms we updated was the formal dining room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how it looked when we walked through:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5z0hDQiBmg-N5nQ2JHBelYX5wlxlWYfEVARkC_MdkJ08ynD8Rl6u2pC6-6ogDvdWgc-hKjsjZilfQ4LNt-cRo8Ablt5oTW3yATTY9ag_XHfLtrc8XXKmn0JowuKy1EB51DZFchIHXoFk/s1600/Before+Diningroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5z0hDQiBmg-N5nQ2JHBelYX5wlxlWYfEVARkC_MdkJ08ynD8Rl6u2pC6-6ogDvdWgc-hKjsjZilfQ4LNt-cRo8Ablt5oTW3yATTY9ag_XHfLtrc8XXKmn0JowuKy1EB51DZFchIHXoFk/s1600/Before+Diningroom.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, with just a few changes, this is how it looks now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFE3mkuvNwDL2wJfroQEZszWpwxJAb1_G8dInPkkhOHtylPtCISZzwHLxciRleNShyHaU1KX05S3aPB2QathBnYjJlQlIkRoeYxAumnjBDeuAyLeV3ef8mJN4-JRKW4iXQtp3WMfvzGys/s1600/Dining+Room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFE3mkuvNwDL2wJfroQEZszWpwxJAb1_G8dInPkkhOHtylPtCISZzwHLxciRleNShyHaU1KX05S3aPB2QathBnYjJlQlIkRoeYxAumnjBDeuAyLeV3ef8mJN4-JRKW4iXQtp3WMfvzGys/s320/Dining+Room.jpg" width="257" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Formal dining rooms really are in many ways a waste of space these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm secretly tickled to have somewhere to display the farm table I made.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was amazing the difference a few simple changes made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply took the shades off of the light fixture and wall sconces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And light, airy curtains change the whole feel of the room.<br />
That was it, not even new paint!<br />
It was great to have one room done so easily! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sure appreciate it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From now on, it will be back to my original format.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Beginning the official home tour of our new home in South Carolina...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Living Room <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our 'new' home is almost 20 years old.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is very little new construction in the little country town we live in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most homes are about 15 years old or older. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We picked the home that we felt had the best 'bones' but knew we would have work to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The previous owners were the original owners...</div>
this is what it looked like when we toured it during our house hunting trip:</div>

Hard to believe my last post was in January 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will blink and it will be January 2017.<br />
Not going to lie, on New Year's Eve I will probably be bidding 'good riddance' to 2016.<br />
It was quite a year.<br />
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What did not happen in the blink of an eye has been the last 9 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At times it clipped along and at others it crawled at a snails' pace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you come here mostly to see pictures and maybe glean an idea or two for your own space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you will indulge me for a minute, or two, so I can explain how my space has changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And by space, I mean ALL my space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My city.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't write much about my personal life on this blog. Again, I know why you come here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An idea or two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sorry you might have come here over the last 9 months and not found much of either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our life was a little crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now you'll understand why.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A job loss for me in July 2015 meant major problems for the family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought in about 40% of our household income and carried the family's medical insurance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were in a bit of a pickle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up a new gig but it was not a good fit and I was struggling...and I mean struggling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I missed my work with non-profits, schools and children.<br />
I was not making what I was making before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We still did not have health insurance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a daughter in college.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A son beginning his senior year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And two more guys depending on my husband and I to figure this out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband's employer had been struggling for years and those struggles continued.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing the writing on the wall, my husband had actually been looking for another job for about 3 1/2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hundreds of applications.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dozens of interviews.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flights to various locations around the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The summer came and went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fall came.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
School started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daughter went back to college.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Son's senior year started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas was just around the corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Years of job searching had taken its toll, the roller-coaster ride was beyond nauseating. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We needed to get off. Get centered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more applying for jobs we decided.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't working.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We needed to just enjoy Christmas. Regroup in the New Year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⇄</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Christmas 2015 was pure magic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We woke up to a snowstorm on Christmas Eve and a closed mountain pass laid between my parents' cabin and us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cabin where we were supposed to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We drove around the mountain instead of through it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A trip that usually takes 1 hour and 10 minutes took 7 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something about almost missing it, made it so much more special.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe, it was that we knew deep in our hearts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
things were about to change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Change.<br />
Such a simple word for not so simple things.</div>

On February 19, 2016 my husband was called into his boss' office.<br />
You guessed it.<br />
Laid off.<br />
Two week's severance.<br />
Seventeen years with the same company and it came down to two weeks severance.<br />
⇄<br />
Good thing my husband had been offered a job. <br />
The day before.<br />
In South Carolina.<br />
No, he had not started looking for jobs again, they had called him.<br />
But...<br />
<i>IT WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. </i><br />
⇄<br />
If you look at a map do you know what are almost exactly kitty-corner from each other?<br />
With a whole country in between them? <br />
Seattle, WA and South Carolina.<br />
⇄<br />
I'll spare you the details of what transpired between February and May.<br />
The top level:<br />
Get house ready for real estate market.<br />
Give away about half of our stuff.<br />
Open houses.<br />
Showings.<br />
House hunting trips to South Carolina.<br />
Husband drives across the country to start job.<br />
Sending senior year son on airplane to finish senior year in South Carolina.<br />

This might be a good place for a little history.<br />
We had lived in the Seattle area for 19 years.<br />
We had lived in the school district and city we currently lived in for 18 years.<br />
Almost our whole married life.<br />
Our children's whole lives.<br />
As a family, we had known nothing else.<br />
My parents were just over the mountains.<br />
My sisters lived just 3 hours away.<br />
One brother 30 minutes away.<br />
Two other brother's less than a day's drive. <br />
⇄<br />
The last day of April, 2016 we moved into our new house in South Carolina.<br />
Unfortunately, the struggles of a major move were not over.<br />
In many ways they were just beginning.<br />

We had lots of work to do to make our house a home.<br />
To make this new place our home. <br />
And things did not start well.<br />
A botched hardwood floor job.<br />
My kids could have done a better job then the company we hired. <br />

Dealing with serious bouts of homesickness.<br />
Missing not just family and friends, but the West in general.<br />
Memories of the past 19 years of vacations, holidays, and simple moments flooding my mind daily.<br />
My children missing former teachers, classmates and schools. <br />
Days rolled together as I struggled to just get out of bed most mornings.<br />
⇄<br />
Time moved on.<br />
We got to take some family weekend trips.<br />
Our backyard pool felt really good in the heat and humidity.<br />
The boys made friends. <br />
Autumn came.<br />
School started.<br />
Little by little it was easier to get out of bed.<br />
The house finally started to come together.<br />
And now<br />
the holiday season is upon us.<br />
⇍<br />
I get to see my older kids in a matter of hours.<br />
I will get to see extended family and my beloved Seattle for Christmas.<br />
I know hard days and times are still ahead.<br />
But for now I am grateful.<br />
And I am <i>finally</i> able to share with you our new house, that we hope soon will feel like<i> home.</i><br />

Christmas came early this year when we had our carpet in the front room and dining room replaced with hardwood. Original honey oak (eww) hardwood throughout the entry, hallway, kitchen and powder room was sanded down and all the hardwood was refinished in ebony with a matte finish. I am IN LOVE with my new floors, I could not be happier with how they turned out. And it made dressing the house for Christmas oh, so fun.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You will notice there are no area rugs yet. Two reasons for this, I heard you should wait 6 months to put down area rugs after having hardwoods done or refinished. This will not happen folks, can't wait that long, but I promised myself I could wait a couple months at least. Secondly, I have to be patient because I asked the big guy in the red suit for a beautiful rug for the front room and I've tried to be extra good so fingers crossed for Christmas morning...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like a VERY neutral palette. I am all about whites, grays, and beige
that I can add pops of color to. Simple white couches from IKEA do the
trick and adding pops of red and nature's green are set off against the neutral
background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of my finds are from vintage shops and shows around my Pacific Northwest home. My favorite finds this year: the vintage gray toboggan that brings back childhood memories of my dad taking me and my siblings down the snowy hills and the amazing vintage trophy I found for a steal ($12!) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dining Room still holds my favorite piece of all time. The table I created from an old crate my dad has had lying around for nearly 20 years. He had a large machine shipped from Germany and it came in a crate that weathered nicely over the years. I sanded and cleaned up a piece of it, added legs and I absolutely never get tired of looking at it, or dressing it for holidays. My favorite new finds: the rustic, chunky Christmas tree I found recently at Home Goods, and the church pew I found at a vintage show. It was a nasty green but with lots of sanding and white paint I made it mine. <br />

Our family room is the heart of our home so decorations have to stay a bit more relaxed here. This is where Christmas morning will happen. We kept the room cozy and didn't take up the carpet, too much wrestling and playing goes on here, hardwood would be rough on little knees. Loads of burlap and simple nature greens give it a homey feel. The laurel leaf wreath stayed...I have challenged myself to do year around mantel decor without removing it. Adding my daughter's old skates gave it the Christmas pop it needed. Christmases that hail back to a simpler, more humble time is what speaks Christmas to my heart and my decor in this room is intended to reflect that. Homemade stockings, natural fibers and fabrics, brown paper packaging, tubs and crates from days gone by.</div>

It's so funny when we look back and see how things used to be in our home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have that 'what was I thinking' moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our bedroom when we <a href="http://mypineplace.blogspot.com/2011/04/so-i-told-you-i-would-show-you-what-i.html">first moved in</a> was nothing like what I would do now.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted my bed white. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been well established how I feel about this color, or lack of...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like I tend to do, I spent hours pouring through websites and actual store isles looking for a white bedroom set. Almost bought a full bedroom set, <i>on two different occasions</i>...would have been out a few thousand dollars...do you feel a theme here...this is definitely my mode of operation. As evidenced by my<a href="http://mypineplace.blogspot.com/2013/02/office.html"> experience creating our office</a> and <a href="http://mypineplace.blogspot.com/2014/03/boys-bedroom-update-to-jacksons.html">redoing the boys room</a>. When will I learn to skip the hours of internet searching and walking the isles of brick and mortar stores?<br />

A couple weeks ago when I revealed the boy's new room, I told you I couldn't wait to tell you what was in this cabinet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this cabinet, we bought it years ago at a discount store. I didn't think it would last (<i>discount store</i>) but I loved how it looked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has actually held up very well over the years and has been used all over the house. But what we have done with it lately is my favorite!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Over Christmas break, my husband and I endured a true labor of love....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found all the Lego's in the house, dumped them all in the living room (oh how I wish I had taken a picture of that!!) and spent hours every day putting together hundreds of dollars worth of Lego sets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was that or I was going to lose my mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the Lego mommies out there know what I am talking about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My boys have received Lego sets for almost every Christmas and birthday for years and the same thing always happens. They are thrilled, they spend several hours putting it together, they play with it for a few days, a week at the most...and then it starts to fall apart as they play with it around the house and they never. play. with. it. again. Once they are all mixed together with other sets, it is too hard for the kids to search for the pieces they need for a particular set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzvBQXPzOaHNvxki-0CfYgzSzDOp_pz5TBo3HlFr4apM5kKlliVOrCJZgvAslmR9ay5wRvP2c9w9P2hDxMR3wHZp-aSC3wLi3RSVmU2fXifIIUH89VXzOCcoszmY_aFsF3pckF5bronc/s1600/Lego+Closet2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzvBQXPzOaHNvxki-0CfYgzSzDOp_pz5TBo3HlFr4apM5kKlliVOrCJZgvAslmR9ay5wRvP2c9w9P2hDxMR3wHZp-aSC3wLi3RSVmU2fXifIIUH89VXzOCcoszmY_aFsF3pckF5bronc/s1600/Lego+Closet2.jpg" height="320" width="205" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now each set has it's own container and its instruction booklet. Now the boys can actually PLAY with their Legos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put them together over and over again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll see how it goes...see if it was a labor of love or a practice in futility...</div>
