<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm still around but have been trying to find my grove with a six month old and working full time. This working mom thing isn't as easy as I had hoped it would be. I want to start blogging again, but I need to find/make the time for that. I have to show you how cute my little girls room is now, but it still has lots of work to be done too. I will post some updates soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm following </span><a href="http://maryorganizes.com/2013/09/91-day-de-clutter-challenge-week-1-kitchen-pantry-dining-area/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Mary Organizes</span></b></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> De-Cluttering challenge. I posted about it <a href="http://thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-newborn-and-joining-de-cluttering.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #134f5c;">here</span></b></a>. This week was the kitchen/pantry areas. I was able to get to the pantry so far. It feels really good to de-clutter/organize this pantry. It's been like this for months now and I needed something to kick me in the butt to make me finally do it. I have more areas to get to in the kitchen, but wasn't able to completely follow Mary's schedule 100%.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I even have extra room to put more stuff from the Kitchen if I need to. YAY!!! It feels so good that the Pantry was reorganized. I love opening the door now, because it makes me feel less stressed about one area in my home. I have a lot of other reorganizing to do in my home and I plan to follow Mary Organizes as much as I can each week so hopefully I can get it all done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">De-cluttered/reorganized my corner cabinet in the kitchen too. Sorry the before is blurry. I needed to make room for my newborns stuff so I could get it off of my counter. I will show you how I organized the rest of my counter in a future post. I threw away most of the stuff in this cabinet. There was some really old stuff in there. I really don't like this corner cabinet, but I think it works for right now for my baby's stuff and for my tea's. I'm sure it will change over time but for now this works for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We bought a dresser from Ikea for the nursery. I saw this dresser all over the internet in other nurseries and I knew I had to have it as well. It really is a great size dresser for any bedroom, but putting it in the nursery was perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We bought the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00067830/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">Hemnes</span></b></a> dresser from Ikea. It has lots of parts, but it was pretty easy for us to put this dresser together. I would like to change the drawer pulls but until I find something these are the ones that come with the dresser. I would like to find pink or turquoise pulls. Above the dresser I would like to put long mirror but haven't found anything I love yet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This dresser will also serve as our little ones changing table. I can't wait to put this all together. We have some shopping to do still.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well it's more like Before & During, not really "After" yet. But we are getting there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have gotten a lot done in the nursery. We took everything out of this room, fixed the walls a little, primed, painted, added crown molding, added a closet organizer and painted the inside of the closet. Now we are moving onto the furniture part of this make over. I will post about that soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is what the 2nd bedroom...aka nursery looked liked for the last 6 years we have lived in our house. It was a light sage green. I always thought it was going to be the perfect color to go with a boy or girl when the time came. Well 6 years later and my taste has changed. Heck it was only half a wall that we would have to paint anyway, so what was the big deal. ;) Well we painted the bottom half white again because it needed a new coat of paint. So all the trim and the wainscotting was repainted white. Valspar off the shelf Ultra White, no VOC, low order paint. Love it. It's actually a paint and primer in one. Did a pretty good job!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I wanted to go with a neutral color on the top half of the wall. I wanted this room to be able to grow with our little girl. So I was on the hunt for the perfect true grey. I found it really quickly too. I thought it was going to take weeks and I was going to drive my sweet husband crazy. But we went and picked up Valspar samples and by the time the colors all dried, I knew which one I wanted. The lighter grey on the left. Valspar Bay Waves. LOVE IT!!! It was the perfect true grey for me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So we painted all the walls and then started to put up the crown molding. We did the same molding in our <a href="http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2011/03/our-family-room-tour-part-6-moldings.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">Family Room</span></b></a>. It makes it so much easier with the "blocks" in the corners then trying to miter all the corners. At least for us, we think it's easier. Plus we like how the blocks look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then you just have to install the crown. Measure in between blocks and make straight cuts. Goes up a lot quicker. We love how it turned out. Now to get the rest of the rooms in our house done with crowning molding. We just had to caulk all the seams and do touch up painting. Then we were done. Caulk is always your best friend with projects like this. It fills in anything that is uneven or if you don't have straight walls. It gives your crown molding that professional look. I have some close up pictures of the caulking project, but I will save that for another post.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's take a look at the change the closet went through. We were using this closest for our winter coats, dresses, curtains & my extra shoes. There was also misc stuff up on the shelf above the rack of clothes. We had to find room in the rest of the house for all this stuff. So I purged first, made some donations and put the remainder in other closets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIR-PH8T0iAeaM9zkMO3KC0t1NE-bffq3bG0_himGpnOSTVOSJoX06ja9ZjuGpGZDINEMMsHd8-PsMYug0Al_EoUQqML30M9tE-xAwfL6Zj-5zbRMQfPj6oyTbipvETJDW2KxCWAf-Stmi/s1600/IMG_0746a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIR-PH8T0iAeaM9zkMO3KC0t1NE-bffq3bG0_himGpnOSTVOSJoX06ja9ZjuGpGZDINEMMsHd8-PsMYug0Al_EoUQqML30M9tE-xAwfL6Zj-5zbRMQfPj6oyTbipvETJDW2KxCWAf-Stmi/s640/IMG_0746a.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is the closet emptied of our stuff. We painted it a fun turquoise color on the inside. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Benjamin Moore "Spirit in the Sky" color matched to Valspar paint. I will be bringing in Pink & Turquoise into the nursery in other ways with decor and bedding.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> To make the closet organizer we purchased different pieces from two different stores. We bought the Ikea <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20116274/#/70116276" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">Expedit</span></b></a> for the main piece of the organizer. Then we went to Lowe's to buy one long metal clothes rod that my husband cut down to size for each four sections. We also bought one large prefinished white shelf and cut that into three pieces. One long shelf on top and two small shelves on the lower level of rods.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's see some before and afters next to each other. I love the grey instead of the green. I could have done a green & pink nursery, but I just love grey right now and I'm so glad I made the decision to repaint. The grey can be paired with any other color in the future as our little girl gets older and wants something different then pink or turquoise in her room. It will be fun to play around with different colors in the future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well it has been a crazy couple of weeks since I last wrote. Things are moving along, but not 100%, with the nursery and office makeovers. It's a lot of work and I can only help do so much around here lately. I'm getting tired quicker and sometimes I just have to sit down for awhile and relax. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took these two pictures with my cell phone, so I will have to get you better pictures and more pictures soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We used this bedroom as a storage room for the most part, so we had a lot of cleaning out to do. This closet was full of our winter coats and extra shoes. Plus a lot of other stuff. We had a lot to purge or to find other space for it in the house. So we have been hard at work for weeks now with this room and the office. Trying to figure out what can fit where. And we did it...well for the most part. The office is a little messy now, but I will get to that at some point and show you what we did in there. Hopefully before this baby is born. ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The closet is actually finished now, but I didn't have a picture of that on my phone. We did install a shelf on the top of the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20116274/#/70116276" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Expedit</span></b></a> for extra storage. Then we added four rods for clothes. Two rods on either side on top and two rods about half way down on either side.</span><br />

The line we used is a Paint & Primer in one. Two coats and everything looks great. We had to go over a green wall on the top half of the wall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will hopefully have crown molding going in this weekend, so I will have better pictures soon of the whole room. Then we can add in furniture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been hard at work at home trying to organize our 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. Bedroom #2 will be the nursery and bedroom #3 is already the office. I WILL have updates on both of these shortly. I'm at 23 weeks now and working full time. My weekends are full of cleaning, organizing, buying products we need to organize better and put those products together, and of course a lot of rest in between. I have been taking some pictures along the way, so I will be able to show you where we started in all of this. Sorry I just haven't had the time to post much lately. I miss this little old blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I will have updates about how we organized our office better. We worked with what we had and then had to buy some other products because we just had too. This is why I love Ikea. ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I will have updates about the nursery. That I should be able to take you week by week on. We haven't started doing any of the work in that room yet to change it over. We only have taken all of the stuff out of that room. We will be on vacation for a week working on the nursery, so I should have lots of updates along the way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some pretty pictures of some of the things that we have bought or order for the nursery and the office. I will review the homemade products after I have received them. All vendors have been great to work with so far. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a similar crib skirt to this one. I changed the fabrics around a little.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/006/0/6161379/il_570xN.376672094_lz3y.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/006/0/6161379/il_570xN.376672094_lz3y.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a similar crib rail cover to this one, but with fabric that matches the crib skirt. Can't wait to show you the whole thing together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img1.etsystatic.com/013/0/12955282/icm_fullxfull.25521897_miuitkanb2oc4ck0kg8o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://img1.etsystatic.com/013/0/12955282/icm_fullxfull.25521897_miuitkanb2oc4ck0kg8o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">via the same vendor as above</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are the fabrics that I chose for the skirt and the rail covers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the office we bought the following.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We needed more storage to accommodate all of our stuff. Believe me, we purged hard too and we still needed extra storage. We actually really love how our office looks right now. We are questioning why we didn't do this years ago. We finally feel like we have a proper office and proper storage.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We needed, well mostly I needed, extra shoe storage space. All of my extra off season shoes were in the closet in the nursery, so I purged and then we found this lovely at Ikea and it fit where we wanted to put it and it fit all of our extra shoes. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OK so hopefully this weekend I will finish up making the office look pretty so I can take all of my "after" pictures so I can show off this room to all of you. There will still be work to be done in the office, but we need to move on to the nursery and start fixing walls, priming and painting already. Lots to do and I hope you will come back for the journey!!! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well at least in this household girls out number the boys. Yup we are having a <b><span style="color: magenta;">GIRL!</span></b>!! We are so excited. My due date is July 25th, so we have lots to do to get ready for this little bundle of joy. We have been cleaning out our 2nd and 3rd bedrooms to make room for everything in our house now. So there has been a lot of purging and organizing going on in our home because of this little one. All good though. But as usual things are taking longer then I would like, but we are almost to the point of the nursery {2nd bedroom} being ready for us to start to make it a nursery. So I will be sharing lots of painting, storage and cute stuff over the next few months. I have lots of ideas in my mind and I hope to get to a lot of them before the little one is born. But there will be projects that will have to wait until after she is born. It's going to be a fun road for us and I will be more then happy to share it all with all of you. I miss this blog and I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. I'll have updates in our 3rd bedroom, aka "our office" soon as well. There is lots of organization going on in that room. And right now we are working with what we have and it seems to be working out great for us right now. Still have more cleaning and purging to do...then I will have some pictures to put up. Hope you will stop back soon to see what we have been up to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm so sorry for being MIA for so long, but I had a lot of things going on before the holidays and I needed to take a break from blogging. BUT I'm back and I'm back with some great news. We are expecting our first baby!!! :) YAY!!!! We had a very long road {2 years} of trying and finally with some help we were able to finally conceive!!! Our little miracle for sure. We feel very blessed and we are super excited. I'm 13 weeks right now and after my 12 week sono was clear and I could stop worrying so much, I thought "finally it's time to go back to blogging and to share the next part of my journey in life with all of you."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course you know this means that there will be a nursery to decorate and I am extremely excited to finally be able to put a nursery together in our home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So until we find out if we are having a girl or a boy, I thought I would show you some ideas that I have been pinning into a "secret board" on Pinterest. Sorry, but I couldn't let certain people know yet. But I'll show you some of my ideas now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really love gray right now, so we will paint the walls a light to medium gray. We already have wainscotting in the room because the previous owners put it there. So we only have to paint the upper half of the walls gray. YAY!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So gray is neutral and can go with anything, the room will either be gray, pink, turquoise and white OR gray, turquoise, {maybe green too, like a lime green but not so bright} and white.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's take a look at the eye candy now. I can't wait to make some decisions about the colors in a few weeks. :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wouldn't use the turquoise on the wall. The bottom half would be white where the wainscotting is and the upper half would be gray. Then I would bring in the pink & turquoise as pops of color. The furniture would be white and hopefully a gray rocker/glider.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love how gray, turquoise and white look together. If we had a little boy, I could always go with gray and navy for a big boy room and add in darker grays too and take away the turquoise.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the dresser I'm getting either way. It's from Ikea. The link is below. I have seen this dresser in sooooo many nursery pictures and it really seems like the perfect piece to put in the nursery for a girl or boy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ikea also sells these great boxes. They come in a set of 6 with 3 different sizes to fit into your dresser drawers. I'm definitely getting 1 or 2 sets of these boxes. And at $7.99 a set, who can resist some good organization.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Same dresser with the same set of boxes I was just referring to from Ikea. I love how organized the dresser/changing table is. I will use mine for a changing table as well. Our nursery is on about a 10x9 foot room, so space is an issue and organization and lots of storage will be key for this room and for my sanity I'm sure. ;-) Check out how big those drawers look. I'm going to check out the dresser in person in a few weeks and make sure I love it in person as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the closet I want to do something like this with shelves on one side and double hanging clothes rods on the other side. The shelves might have to be a little smaller but this is the look I want. I can always take out the shelves down the road to use for longer pieces of clothing if it's a girl. I would probably keep the shelves though if it's a boy.</span></div>

We are trying to reorganize all three bedrooms that we have taken over for the last 5 years we have lived in the house. Yup we spread out and now we need to purge, donate and organize everything better in our bedroom and in our office room. We already started to purge the office and purge and reorganize, so I will be sharing my office with you finally as well. We have a lot to do before July 2013!!! But it's all good and we feel great to finally get the house organized better. I'm sure there will be lots to throw away and lots to donate to GoodWill. I can't wait. Our home feels heavy and we need to feel not so weighed down anymore. It feels good with what we did so far. Can't wait to share pictures with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry I haven't been around for awhile now. But I will be back soon with new posts in 2013. I had a lot of personal things going on towards the end of the year and I needed to step away from blogging for a little while to take care of me. Can't wait to share new posts and new ideas with all of you. Lots of updates, lots of organization and lots of eye candy.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Note: Sorry I haven't been around a lot. Trying to help out in our community and with some very good friends that lost everything in their home after SuperStorm Sandy. New York will come back stronger, but it's going to be a long road. But good community, good family & friends will make that all easier on some I hope. It's amazing to see so many people come together from all over the USA to help those in need at this time. xoxo</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm turning to you, my lovely followers, for some opinions about my kitchen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below is our kitchen and I need to make some changes. I need to brighten it up. This will be a process over time, but I want to get a to-do list put together so the project runs smoothly.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u>Options</u></b></span></span></div>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Paint the whole island white and leave the rest of the cabinets the cherry wood. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Add white wood planking on the outside of the island horizontally. I would end the planking on the sides of the island. So the doors and the inner side of the island would still be cherry wood.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are your thoughts? I would love to hear someone else opinion on this one. My hubby didn't seem to mind either way. Though we both thought that doing the horizontal plank wood, would be a lot easier then having to paint everything. haha. I would love to hear your thoughts and what you might do to brighten things up in our kitchen. One day I might actually talk my hubby into changing out the backsplash. We loved it at the time, but we just choose everything very dark and now of course my taste has changed. I still love the kitchen, but I need it brighter in some way.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Sorry for the older pictures, but I already had these to use. There is only a few changes to the area anyway.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is our Dining Room which is right next to the kitchen. Again this room is too dark. But I think I'm going to paint the mirrors white and the inner piece will stay brown like the Ballard Design ones. But that is a whole other project.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Want to see a look at the original kitchen from the previous owners? Oh I know you do. I will say one thing, it wasn't that bad looking in pictures, that is why we went and looked at the house in the first place. But the kitchen was really gross and there were flaws in it that I didn't like. So I talked the hubby into redoing the kitchen completely before we moved into our home. Best decision we ever made. You have to understand that the previous owners were not that clean and they had lots of animals {which I'm allergic to}, and the counters were in pretty bad condition. Plus those upper cabinets had to go that were over the island. The footprint of the inside part of the kitchen was very small for two people to walk around in. It had to go.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5qxJtecqnOuysXNC0_nMzL8KL2iLUQssrOMRVxXZUYkQzS83z__WftOTamY98smp1CSolWMKhzmoqWFhif8uBnnaks4gJ7Wxp5nozIJr9WLhD8D6BI-zBgeTxp4OXpTzrj9hYPyL4KYy/s400/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5qxJtecqnOuysXNC0_nMzL8KL2iLUQssrOMRVxXZUYkQzS83z__WftOTamY98smp1CSolWMKhzmoqWFhif8uBnnaks4gJ7Wxp5nozIJr9WLhD8D6BI-zBgeTxp4OXpTzrj9hYPyL4KYy/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looks like a whole new house right? Painting our walls and adding in cherry wood cabinets made all the difference in the world for this kitchen. It really warmed things up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can take a look at the whole process with our kitchen and see a lot more pictures of the kitchen. Yet again, sorry for the bad pictures. I really need to take all new pictures and put a "house tour" tab together for all of you. I'm putting that on my "to-do-list" right now.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this island. Not sure about doing ours in turquoise, I think I will stick with white for this project.</span><br />

</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I guess this would be closer to the look, but I want more of a cottage look, so that is why I think I will go with horizontal planks in white.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally found an island with horizontal planks. What do you think? I think I might be in love. Those look like 6 or 8 inch planks. Oh yes please!!! My biggest worry is that our island is not flat and has odd angles. I'm sure we can figure out the angles, but I just hope it will look good. Maybe we can play around with some scrape wood first but not nail or glue anything yet.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is our island again so you don't have to go to the top. See all those angles. Yikes. What were we thinking? Right we had just bought a house and we didn't know anything, that is what happened. ;) But this is how you "live" in your home and make changes over time. :)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OK, so seriously I would love to here your opinions. Do you like option 1 or 2? Do you like this last picture with the wide planks? Do you think I'm out of my mind? It's ok, you can tell me the truth. Please by all means, if you have any other ideas or come across other pictures for me, I would love to see and hear all about them. Thank you so much everyone!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My heart is very heavy right now after Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island hard. Over 900,000 homes were out of power and there are still over 600,000 out of power. Trees are down everywhere, homes were destroyed and lives have been changed forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First I want to let all of you know that we are ok, our home has no damage and our cars have no damage. We only lost power for 20 hours, so we were one of the lucky ones to get our power back up so quickly. But it truly is a war zone here. The National Guard and FEMA are here on Long Island already helping out. Plus Red Cross is here too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But some of my friends and local neighborhoods have been devasted. People's homes exploded, house fires that couldn't be put out because fireman were standing 5 feet in water to fight them and just couldn't put them out with the winds. Fireman that had to walk away from homes and watch them burn. Our neighbor and very good friends across the street, the husband is a fireman and the stories are hard to hear. There is so much sadness, so much loss. My friend that lost everything, they have triplets and a 5 year old and they have nothing now. Thankfully they have lots of friends and family to lean on and stay with right now until they figure things out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gas Stations are running out of gas and a lot of food stores aren't up and running yet. It is crazy to think this happened to Long Island. We all know that we always think, "this will never happen to me", well it did happen now. We all have to learn to be more prepared for the long haul. Stock those pantries with dry goods, have ice in the freezer, get propane for your BBQ, get extra gasoline for your vehicles, etc. So many things we all could have done differently. And most of all listen to what officials are telling you to do please. The media was telling everyone the right thing. If they tell you to leave your home, please leave. Don't make fireman or others come and get you now in flooded areas that they might not be able to get to for days. We truly had no idea how bad this storm was going to be. But next time I know I will be even more prepared then I already was. We had gas and food and ice, but we could have had more in place just in case we needed it. We were lucky this time, maybe next time we wouldn't be as lucky. God forbid of course.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New Jersey got hit soooo much harder then Long Island. This just doesn't seem like reality at all. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that was affected by this storm from the start of it in the south to the end of it up north. We will rebuild, we will!!! Lots of hugs to everyone out there that was affected. Thanks for listening to me today everyone. I'll be back next week with some decorating posts hopefully. I have to put some posts together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This time today, 6 years ago I married the man of my dreams. He truly is my soulmate. I can't believe it's been 6 years since we said "</span><i><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I Do</b></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">". We have been together for almost 9 years come January 2013. It has been an amazing 6 years being married to my hubby. Enough with the mushy words....do you all want to see some pictures from our wedding. I have never shared out wedding pictures on this blog yet. I will also show you some of the DIY projects that my hubby and I did for our wedding day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WOW, right!!! Some really great inspiration. I have so many ideas going through my head now for my next tablescape, but probably for Christmas. I might play around with something else in between for the Fall Season and of course I will share that with you if I do something new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So which tablescape caught your eye? Do you like the more traditional tables or the more modern with pops of color and pattern? I really liked each of these in their own way and I took a little inspiration from each that I would love to use in one of my tablescapes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I only put a touch of Fall into our master bedroom.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I Googled the term "fall vocabulary word list". It gives you lots of words to choice from. I just deleted the words I really didn't want. You can use as many words as you want or as little as you want. Have fun with it. Or just come up with your own words.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought the frame at HomeGoods. It's a blue/green color with a dark glaze like affect over it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added a burnt orange runner to my dresser to add to the Fall feel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I added a few pieces to my nightstand and I was done. Yeah I didn't even realize the frame match the Fall pieces. haha!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you like my "Touch of Fall" that I added to my bedroom. Decorating doesn't have to be over the top to bring in a little feel of a holiday or season. For me when it comes to Fall I like the burnt oranges and the greens, but I like the pop of white with it. Then when it comes to Spring/Summer I like more whites with pops of blues. Winter is usually silver, white & blues.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well the tablescape is probably more Autumn Coastal then it is Cottage, but I tried to get that feeling. I've been trying to get more Coastal Cottage in my home, so that my style then would be Transitional Coastal Cottage, but I'm still working on that. I'll get there at some point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I already had the wire basket with the Japanese glass fishing floats, that I bought at</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> HomeGoods over the summer. So I decided I wanted to incorporate the Coastal part into my Autumn tablescape this year. You can check out last years <a href="http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2011/10/fall-dining-room-tablescape.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Autumn tablescape here</b></span></a>. Last years was much more casual and simple and just straight up Autumn. I like changing it up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took out all of my melamine dinnerware that I bought a couple of years ago from Target. I have used some of it in different tablescapes I have done, like our <a href="http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2011/11/tablescape-101-how-to-layer-table-for.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Christmas tablescape</b></span></a> from 2011.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to show you the napkin rings that I made. Just some thin wire and jewelry beads. I love how they turned out. They aren't too big and bulky, so it's easy to store them. And I guess I could always take them apart down the road and make something else with them or change them up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely love the Fall season. We were even married in the Fall...October. Next month I will share our Fall wedding, even though we will be married for 6 years. I can show you all of the DIY projects we did for our wedding to save money. So stay tuned for that post around October 22nd. Anyway, back to my Fall living room decor. I have been itching to change over the house to my Fall colors. I was sort of done with the Summer a few weeks ago. Fall in New York starts on September 22nd this year, so I am just in time to have the house ready. I will have a few more posts about the rest of the house and how I added Fall all around. Let's take a look around the living room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to add in some subtle touches of Fall into our home.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is the breakdown of the new stuff I bought for this room. I already had a lot of the littler stuff...the filler pieces, but I wanted to add more to my Fall decor. It's great to be able to buy stuff over time and not spend a ton of money all at once. Plus your taste changes from year to year and the styles change as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wood pumpkin - Kohl's = $4.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pear - HomeGoods = $7.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mercury Glass Votives - Kohl's = $4.99 each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bean Bag Pear - HomeGoods = $12.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Decorative Woven Balls - HomeGoods = $9.99 for bag</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Small Orange Pumpkins - HomeGoods = $7.99 for bag</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Purple Throw - Kohl's = $19.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I already had some of the decor from past years. Plus I already had the pillows and the curtains.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I needed some new Fall bedding because last year I bought a new king size duvet, which meant I needed to buy new king size duvet covers as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been looking for months for a duvet cover and I finally found one that I loved. Since I love Bed Bath and Beyond so much for their coupons, it was great to use my 20% off coupons for this new purchase. The duvet cover is sold separate from the shams, so I was able to use three 20% off coupons to buy all three pieces. SCORE!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have been following me for awhile, you might notice something different about the room. Can you see what changed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">{don't mind the ugly lighting, I've learned to use my DSLR a lot better now with no lights}</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yup we moved the bed to the longer wall. Our bedroom is only 13x11 feet. When we were shopping for furniture for this room we thought this was the only way we would fit everything into the room and still have room to walk around the bed and be able to get past the dressers. We don't have a very large closet, so we needed two dressers. Last weekend I woke up with this thought of finally just moving the bed to the longer wall and seeing if we had enough room or not. We have hardwoods and all the furniture has felt on the legs, so we just had to "push" everything around the room. And IT WORKED!!! I'm so excited. We actually had more room then we thought we would have and we both love the room in the new layout.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the duvet cover online at <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=128312" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Bed Bath and Beyond</b></span></a>. This was the look I fell in love with in the store. They actually had a bed made up just like this. I fell in love right away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I knew I wanted it for the Fall/Winter months, so I had to find some dark moody sheets to go with the new duvet cover.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually love them on this wall so much better. The frame has a Hawaiian marriage prayer that we received as a gift for our wedding. The plaque we bought when we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Our friend didn't even know we were going to Hawaii for our honeymoon when we received the gift. They go together so nicely, no?</span></div>

Now we don't have a problem with this mirror. We were able to lower it and center it on this wall now and it's a center piece all by itself. We love it. And I also don't have to wonder now what else to do to this wall to balance out the window. The picture frame ledges are centered on the new wall that the bed is on, so I don't have to figure anything new out. Lovin' that!!! :)</div>

I "adore" the design on this duvet cover. The color is light beige with a darker gray/beige {greige}. I'm lovin' greige right now, so this was perfect. I can also have this duvet cover on at any time of the year. I really need some new pillows, but that will have to wait for a little while.</div>

I know that this look might not be for everyone, because the bed isn't lined up with the shelves. But they are centered on the wall between the window and the right wall, so they stayed. I wasn't moving the shelves around and making new holes. If I ever get knew shelves, they I will probably change the look around some, but for now, it works for us.</div>

I love Fall. All the dark muted colors makes everything feel so warm and cozy. What colors do you use for the Fall season? Have you charged over to Fall colors yet or are you still waiting for September 22, 2012 for the 1st official day of Fall?<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by everyone!!! Have a great day!!! :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I received a nice email the other day from someone at HomeGoods talking about there new "Stylescope" personalities. Want to take the quiz? It's super easy and it was my style 100% right now. Loved that. I always have fun taking these kind of quizzes. They asked me to spread the love, so let's check out what my Stylescope is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My style is "Set Sail" with a touch of BOHO. This is my style right now. I would say that my style is Transitional Coastal Cottage. Well I'm mostly Transitional right now, but I am trying to change it slowly to Transitional Coastal Cottage. Our Family room is already this style and now I'm trying to add the "Coastal Cottage" part into the rest of our home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The funny thing is that I already have that white vase at the bottom right corner of the above picture, I have star fish, driftwood, coral, seashells, seaglass and even some of those glass fishing buoys. So I guess I already have a lot of "coastal cottage" in my home already, but I know I need more in each room. Just bringing in a little bit into each room will make me very happy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I so have to try the centerpiece for the dining table. Check out under "how does set sail entertain?". If you can't read it, it says "display a collection of seashells and smooth stones in an ombre pattern as a centerpiece for your dining table". Oh yes please!!! Ombre and seashells and seaglass...I'll take it. I think it would be fun to make this happen. Now I will have to find pieces to use that I already have and I might have to buy some new pieces. Such a fun idea on a table. I will have to find a cute little tray for it as well. Oh I guess I'll be off to HomeGoods yet again for some more decor. ;-)</span></div>

And they even throw in a blog that has the same style as you. Great inspiration!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had to declutter my kitchen counter. There was just way too much on it and I had to figure something out to get some of it off the counter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the before. Yup every inch of the counter was taken up by coffee supplies of sorts.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The biggest problem was were will the K-cups go. I loved this little holder, that I believe I picked up at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20 a few years ago. But as cute and functional as it was, I had to find some place else for them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">YAY, I was able to clear the counter. Now it looked sad and boring. So I shopped my house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I found this basket. It was a little too tall, but it served it's purpose until I found something else I liked more. The white canister, from HomeGoods, is used for our used k-cups and we just empty it once a week or as needed. We also put egg shells and scraps in it so we don't stink up our garage pail. We are only a household of two, so we only throw the garage out once a week. If you put all of those things in the garage pail, then there is this horrible smell by mid week. The canister is probably really for a cookie jar and seals well, so we don't have any problems with it. It works for us. We throw it out once a week and wash it also. So where did those K-cups go? Do you see them?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There they are. I know you can see them even from across the room, but I can live with it like this since it's OFF my counter. Introducing the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005F0JM7W/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Under Cabinet K-Cup Holder</span></b></a> for $29.95. It was so worth the money I spent on this product. We love it. It has strips of double sided tape and screws to install this. We used both just in case. The screws are very short, so they will not go through the bottom of the cabinet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see from the first picture I did find a better tray. Of course I found it at HomeGoods for $19.95. I love it. It's just the right size for the canister and 4 cups. The rest of the cups went into our coffee mug cabinet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's check out all of the trays prettiness. I love the darker knots in the wood and it's rustic feel. They made it look like a freight box that was cut down to size.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of our kitchen cabinets were completely out of hand and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to find something to make things easier to find when I opened those doors. I looked at Target's $1 section first and didn't find anything that would work for my cabinets and I also checked out a bunch of different Dollar Stores in my area and nothing yet again. So I went to Google, because Google is our friend that helps us find great deals when we can't find them in the box stores.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's take a look at what I found to organize my cabinets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtRVP3-orV4um05CIEQaO-Sy6Cx21FE6s0VfviuDcQLommOJQPJ2Da8GjR0bpHQNyg8ZqibimE3gyco1TDQmMcecs8i4HUNi8CNDFQcLjmeX2QUBgwAJCUg-aC8Kk6oNnVFosfpBBnQlX9/s1600/IMG_1965a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtRVP3-orV4um05CIEQaO-Sy6Cx21FE6s0VfviuDcQLommOJQPJ2Da8GjR0bpHQNyg8ZqibimE3gyco1TDQmMcecs8i4HUNi8CNDFQcLjmeX2QUBgwAJCUg-aC8Kk6oNnVFosfpBBnQlX9/s640/IMG_1965a.jpg" width="425" /></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the "Before" of these two cabinets. Yes the one on the right really isn't that messy I know, but I did fix it up a little bit. I also add two containers to it. I thought I was going to use them in the left cabinet, but they didn't fit on the bottom shelf and I couldn't move the shelf any higher, so I had to use them for something else. Of course now, I will have to make another trip to Ikea to get three more on those tall containers to finish off the look I started.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what I bought from Ikea.

It only comes in these three different sizes in New York. Tall=$3.99, Medium=$2.99 and Small=$1.99. I spent $23.00 on the 8 pieces that I bought.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OK, first I wanted this set from Bed, Bath & Beyond, <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=112110&RN=204&" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">OXO Good Grip Square Food Storage Pop Containers</span></b></a>. They range from $19.99 to $7.99. So if I had bought one of each from this container line it would have cost me $101.93 for 7 pieces. YIKES!!! Now don't get me wrong, they might be better for freshness, but I was not willing to spend over $100.00 on containers. I think Ikea really came through with their containers and I couldn't be happier right now. I only spent $23, so I saved myself $77.00 for this cabinet.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now let's take a look at what I bought to organize my pots and pans. Look at this crazy mess I had going on. I have paper towels in between everything not to scratch them. I don't have really high end pots and pans, but I still want them to last as long as possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Check out what it looks like afterwards. I can pull everything out a lot easier now. I can see what I'm looking for too. Oh wait....what is missing...YES the paper towels are now gone. YAY!!! I hated how that looked. Now everything is much cleaner looking. I also put the large pots on the shelf and a few other pieces I don't use that often. The bottom shelf is what gets used the most now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This cabinet I only go into when we have company for the most part. There are a ton of Pyrex, platters and serving bowls. I even purged a couple of things out of this cabinet a few months ago, so it was actually worse then this. But seriously, every time I wanted something I had to almost take everything out just to get to it. So I had to come up with something to make things a little easier.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljrbOFlPE9NeapSgUlOgG5HMOyE1gNJPH8IZPp9lSFYaD_lpOmmUcF7LyaLSNNWykCXTCziz3iOfkGxGPt5rQK4V7PDhLRxApHrdkZgOq6imzS4qR9t1BCxwFYRRa3uTm0PlnI6XId4ko/s1600/IMG_1920a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljrbOFlPE9NeapSgUlOgG5HMOyE1gNJPH8IZPp9lSFYaD_lpOmmUcF7LyaLSNNWykCXTCziz3iOfkGxGPt5rQK4V7PDhLRxApHrdkZgOq6imzS4qR9t1BCxwFYRRa3uTm0PlnI6XId4ko/s640/IMG_1920a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought 3 of these. Two of them went in this cabinet and I still have another cabinet to clean out and organize, but I ran out of steam over the weekend. I have three other organizational projects that I need to do and hopefully I can get to them this weekend. Then the kitchen with almost be completely organized. I'm so proud of myself for finally moving my butt to do all of this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well one last thing I want to show you is this part of my counter in the <a href="http://www.thedecorscene.blogspot.com/2011/02/house-tour-how-my-kitchen-was-born_25.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Kitchen</span></b></a>. I just never liked this corner. I never know what to do with a corner like this. So I played around with a couple of trays that I had in other rooms to make it look nicer and make it look like there's not as much stuff.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now it looks like this. I like it a little bit better now, but I have to look around for another tray. Too much wood now in one corner. Plus I want to get that block of knives into a drawer. I'm going to buy one of those drawer knife blocks and get this off the counter once and for all. Then I will play around with things again for this corner and see what I can come up with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely love how aqua & orange look together. I hope one day soon to have those colors in my Sunroom...when we finally get to the full project of the Sunroom of course. So today I wanted to put out there some great inspiration for this color scheme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's check out all of the different places we could use this color scheme and even some inspiration from other then home decor. I just feel so happy to look at these color together. It's like sunshine with water mixed in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
This color scheme can be bright and fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
And this color scheme can also be moody or muted in color. Love that. So you could have this color in the Spring/Summer when you want things to be brighter and then in the Fall/Winter when you want those more muted warm colors. Love it!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I figured since I style so many things around my home it was time to re-style the blog. So I decided to hire my friend Latoya. She runs the blog <a href="http://www.apeacefulcrib.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">A Peaceful Crib</span></b></a> and she also runs <a href="http://www.moniquedesigns.net/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Monique Designs</span></b></a> where she does blog designs, invitations, announcements and more. Please stop on over and check out Latoya's Blog, Design website and her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignedByMonique" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Etsy</span></b></a> shop as well. Don't forget to show her some love when you are over there too. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just couldn't take it anymore. Our large bathroom cabinet just wasn't cutting it anymore. Everything was all over the place and both mine and my husbands stuff was all over the place. I mean we knew where everything was that we needed, but it was a mess and there was a lot of stuff that needed to be purged. So I completely cleared our counter top and took everything out and organized it on the counter. Anything that we didn't use anymore or was expired went into the recycle bin or the garbage. It felt so good to get rid of things in there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago I found these cute little 2 packs of long thin trays at Target. I love you Target for always having the right things at the right time for me. These were in the $1 section, so since they were a pack, they were really 50 cents each. SCORE!!! So for $3, I had 6 trays to work some magic with. I'll be honest, everything doesn't fit perfectly inside of them because they are thin, but it works so much better then the way we had it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh yeah, this is so much better. So I have 5 trays and the hubby has 1 tray. He shaves his head, so he doesn't have much stuff. ;) {teehee}</span></div>
