One of our outside spaces



Welcome to our home in Arizona... 
I am sharing one of our outdoor spaces with you today.




Above is the card table and chairs I have recovered with a fabric from IKEA. I love the way it turned out and it adds colour and interest to our space.
























I hope you enjoyed a small glimpse into our sitting area...
Have a wonderful week ahead...

Chalkboard Pantry



Welcome to sunny Arizona!
As you may have seen in an older post we had replaced the gold leaded glass in our cabinets with clear glass and Brushed nickel pulls. This particular cabinet has another access door on the other side and it is used as our pantry. 
I realized last winter that I did not want to sit on the sofa in the living area and look into the glass pantry. 
Michaels craft store sold this adhesive chalk board panel and instantly I knew this is what I needed to do to fix my problem.
We added a vintage style cabinet pull placing it upside down to hold the chalk and we love the look. 
Now I just have to learn some nice writing skills and write something profound. ;  )









Thank you for stopping in today I hope that I inspired you to be creative as well. 

Blessings...

We replaced the Mini Blinds


Welcome to another day in sunny Arizona. We have finished with the replacement of all of the metal mini blinds in our winter home. These photos are the after pictures and the before are below. We went with Levolor 2" sandblasted white blinds throughout from Lowes and we are loving the new look. 



As you will notice we removed the side curtains as well and the rooms seem so much brighter.




Below we have the old blinds removed and just waiting for the installer to arrive with the new blinds...




I had leftover fabric from recovering the dining chairs so I was thankful I brought my sewing machine with us so I could make the little valances in the dining room and kitchen area.









These are shots of the before... the mini blinds were looking wore and bent so time for an update.




Here is the same fabric on the dining chairs I had recovered last winter. Of course they are painted with Annie Sloan Old white chalk paint...
Thank you for stopping in!

Changes in the Washroom



Welcome
Before we left Arizona in May we had removed the glass shower doors and added a curved curtain rod. It provides us more elbow room in the shower/bathtub so we are happy we went ahead and changed it out.


Our taps in the bathroom had fallen apart on my hand when getting a deep cleaning so the taps were changed from a shiny silver finish to a brushed nickel to match the new cabinet handles and hinges.







We added a few pictures and a bamboo blind to smarten up the small area. 




I am not actually minding the wallpaper and the artwork I found seems to coordinate nicely. 



Unfortunately the shower curtain is not presenting very well in photos but it has the blue and taupe colours of the wallpaper as well. We have a skylight in the room and it make the room bright and cheery.



I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Thank you for stopping in. We have replaced all the window blinds in the trailer so I will share that with you in a future post.
