I could put the flowers up high where the cats can’t reach them, but that’s not where I want to enjoy them.

All the walls are now light and bright, except for that fun brick wall that we exposed last year.. Yup, that’s a sign leftover from Christmas still up there.Still haven’t been able to fight my way into the garage to find a crow bar to take it down.

It’s really stuck on there.. It’s such a blank canvas!All that empty space to work with is making me nervous, but I’m slowly gathering my thoughts about how I want it to feel in here..Most of the furniture (except for that exercise bike!)

will be staying for now, but we’ll be adding some curtains, a rug, new bedding, a new light fixture, and some other fun things to make it feel extra comfortable for the next little while until we’re ready to start tearing down (more) walls..In the future, we’re going to do some built-in storage on this wall with some open shelving exposing the brick, but for now just some trim around rough edges of the door way will do the trick..

I started gathering a few supplies recently and I’m pretty excited about where this is going..

I have a few different fabrics that I’m considering too for pillows and stuff like that.It’s totally not meant for this at all.

You’re supposed to spray it on the back side of clear glass to create a mirror-like finish, but I thought the worst that could happen is that it would look terrible and then I would just spray some glossy white over top and everything would be fine.It didn’t look terrible though!

It looked amazing!It looks just as good or, dare I say, better than the store bought silver things and for just pennies!
