Foyer Refresh

Oh yes, is finally here !! imagine my joy when all this was done . It totally needed an updated look ..like I said here ..this where my main inspiration for this new refresh.


It all stared with a must needed declutter and paint job .!!

And here is the after math ... enjoy ..

{So I'm trying this new camera and lens out honestly not my favorite so I think I'm going back to my old one or getting a whole new set.}




This is the new from top of the stairs{living room area}

To me it just seem more airy yes I still have almost the same amount of stuff but the more neutral colors give it the appearance of being a bigger space .

Disclaimer: the pops of pink is because summer is here and I wanted to give it a bit of color . I do change colors within each specific season just to be a bit on the festive side and also because I do still really love a pop of color 

When my previous post about my foyer I had a few people asking about that "how do you have space to walk through with a bench on the to of the stairs blocking the way " My answer to that is that we have way more thank plenty of space I still haven't touch the bench or the wall once since I've had this bench in here . I don't really know why it looks so narrow but it honestly not at all I'm not saying the two people can go though at the same time unless your kids but I can go up with both hands full of shopping bags and not touch the bench or wall without twisting or adjusting my position . So to answer that question there is way enough space and this are the dimensions  {the space there is 44 inches wide and the bench only takes 13in of it so with that said there is enough space .I Hope that helps =).

Oh im so in love with this knobs they are this crystal mercury glass knobs with a vintage Crome design . I wish I could find more but I haven't been that lucky yet , since this a found at HomeGoods one day and I graved them thinking I'm going to need them some day and well I did .I love how different look it gives to a plain dresser it gives it a more expensive look to a pice that it is not . I get so giddy with the small changes that makes a big difference , don't you ??

I love this print my sister got them for me because she saw them on a website and she immediately taught of me . Thank you sis your the best I love them as well they bring also that settle pop of color I wanted in this space.

The bench !! umm do you remember the black and white stripe bench I had well this is it with a new more settle look I still wanted to have a bit of print and fun and I found this amazing curtains at Kohls  a few years back and I had them in storage since I didn't know where to put them so I found a great way to use them by making once of the panel my new bench fabric {the fabric is a a thick durable fabric is also water resistant }.

I stared with wanting this Caitlin Wilson pillows but I as surprise to found out that they discontinue them so after searching high and low with no luck my mum came to the rescue with 4 yards of this beautiful fabric that honestly didn't have a name on she got it from a discount fabric store so I asked her if she count possibly make me some pillows out of them and she happily agreed and made me 2 pillows and my sister the other two . Thank you mum I love my pillows !!

 The pink pillow I found at HomeGoods .

So I hope you like the new change I surely do and everyone in our home does as well .

Until next time =)

Annaliah’s DIY Xmas present.

Every year is a tradition we have since our first bundle of joy to make something that we DIYed for our kids .. this year my parents joined us  in Annaliah’s gift..



It all stared with the stroller and the kitchen and all that we figure she really likes to play home soo why not buy her a baby crib .. we looked out for many weeks and nothing stood out for us until one day we decided to pass by our local thrift store and buallaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  there it was a perfect little crib for our little Fairy princess dolls  ..


Yeah everything was going good until I saw the ridiculous price tag of $300.00 !!! whattttttt .. im sorry but it was to much for us at the moment with Christmas coming and hers and Charlie's birthday and our vacation way to much on our plate .. so we kept looking at it for about 10 more more minutes and my adorable and amazing husband said  “ oh I can make that “ !!…


I honestly had a lot of confident on that he could make it since he has made many beautiful things before even a home just by himself and well this is not our first rodeo ..
So we came home made a replica of the crib …. But of course me thinking ahead like always and making the hubs do more and just piling things up on his plate I said oh I think she needs somewhere to put all the dolls things clothes and what not .. and next thing I know we are making a little storage bench ..



I'm very sorry to inform you that I would not give the details for this DIY because ………..
Thanks to Instagram and Facebook many people have contact me via them and email to see if we can make some for their little princesses .. I want sure until my friend Tannia  pushed us out there to make a store on Etsy ,, but  that’s another story …



So here comes my mother …and Father
I order the fabric from one of my favorite fabric stores and and my mum bough the other items at one of my favorite craft stores .. and she made magic !!…And of Course my Daddy did the painting.




With no further due I give you what I consider to be our best project under 24 hours {to  be the first time and because my parents made it with us} yet..
















well enough about the storage bench now to the crib part..





Yes she also made a pillow with a separately pillow case and a blanket for the dolly..isnt this sooo cute??






Also the mattress is a a very confortable peace of foam that she covered with another fabric and then made a fitted sheet for it..






















She Really loves and enjoys her gift and she kisses her baby good night every night as well as tuck her in .. I have big hopes for this little girl some day she will be a great woman and what's better yet a great mother,.!!



Ps :IN ANOTHER POST I WOULD BE TALKING OUR UP COMING STORE AND WHAT WE WILL OFFER  ..THANK YOU ..


PPs :We also made something for the boys but we will not be showing that until the playroom is done ..thank you ..


Update ** online fabric store contacted me to ask if they can feature this on their blog!!… how exiting is that??
