<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Today was another snow day in Kansas City. We just got over an ice storm that left everything covered in ice for about a week and now we are getting 5 inches of snow. So while I am cooped up inside I decided to tackle a few small projects that I had wanted to do for a while now. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One of my projects is to do something with this tray that I got at the thrift store. I did not care for the winter bird scene, although the more I looked at it I didn't think it was THAT bad, but it definitely needed an update. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I toyed around with the idea of painting it, but I really liked the outer edges of the tray. The brown/gray color stain and distressing was just right but I wanted to do something about that bird scene and really didn't think painting it was something I wanted to do. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I remembered that I had this roll of wallpaper in my closet for about the past SEVEN years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have had it so long that I don't quite remember when I got it....and I had never even unrolled it to fully check it out so I was curious. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After I took it out of the plastic sleeve I was in for a big surprise!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Look at how pretty it is!!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And I let this sit around for SEVEN YEARS!!!! Oopsie! LOL</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You guys! This wallpaper is so nice and thick and in perfect condition!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is also not even a long ROLL of paper, it is several of these large sheets all rolled up...so it is also the perfect size to work with. I just LOVE it!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I turned over the tray and laid the wallpaper on top and cut around the perimeter of the tray with scissors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then I turned the tray back over and placed the wallpaper piece inside the tray and pushed down with my fingernails around the edges of the tray to create a crease, then cut along the crease to get a customized fit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once I had the right size cut out I simply rubbed a glue stick over the perimeter of the base of the tray and across the middle, then simply laid the wallpaper piece on top. The last step was to press around the edges and in the middle to rub out any air bubbles and make sure the wallpaper was sticking to the glue. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And that's it! The tray now looks totally different. It has a cottage feel and the colors will look great in my bedroom so I plan on putting this on my nightstand. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There were no tools involved, other than scissors and a glue stick of course, so this is the perfect type of project to tackle if you are beginner DIYer/decorater. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will eventually paint that nightstand and give my bedroom a complete makeover, but for now I will add simple updates like this to freshen it up. </span></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hi everyone! I have a fun project for you today! On one of my trips to the thrift store back around the holidays, I came across this guy. The best part he was 50% off so he only cost me $1.50 and I knew immediately I had to have him. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had been looking for wood pieces for a while because I knew I wanted to do this craft, and the fact that I found a heart wreath made it that much better!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I knew I wanted to give this a feminine look and I knew I wanted to use pink and purple tones so I headed to Joanns to look for scrapbook paper. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As you can see, there are a TON of options today in decorative paper so I played around with several different patterns then decided on two. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I picked a pink plaid and a purple and pink floral . </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To start this project pick your scrapbook paper, paint the entire wreath (front and sides) with white paint. I used white chalk paint. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then simply place one sheet of scrapbook paper over one of the hearts and use a pencil to trace the heart onto the paper. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Simply cut out the heart and use this as your template for the rest of your hearts. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5cPsjiPiT83Ive3EM1HD-ac8uT9lOy31bx7jiF6hhl_qzXwoaAAtSqi9OUMg0BweL5DZmJ7JcT7dNiENZUcaJ_xYFUcYJv6CeP6TYGPgZfZHlN1iSEHUrRfbzy-Xv4Ize4OoZBFk1jA/s1600/Valentines+Day+Wreath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5cPsjiPiT83Ive3EM1HD-ac8uT9lOy31bx7jiF6hhl_qzXwoaAAtSqi9OUMg0BweL5DZmJ7JcT7dNiENZUcaJ_xYFUcYJv6CeP6TYGPgZfZHlN1iSEHUrRfbzy-Xv4Ize4OoZBFk1jA/s640/Valentines+Day+Wreath.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once you have your hearts cut out (I alternated between patterns) then place them on each of the hearts around the wreath and trim with scissors for a good fit. The next step is to apply ModPodge to the wreath and add attach your heart to it, pushing out any air bubbles with your fingers or a scraper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then once all the hearts are dry, the last step is to gently sand around the edges of the hearts to lightly distress them. The more you sand, the heavier your distressing will be, so go slow until you find the level of distressing that you like. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And that's it!!!! You now have an adorable Valentines Day wreath! </span><br />

</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I attached a pink ribbon to mine and hung it from some hooks on my bead board entryway, but this can sit on a shelf or be hung almost anywhere around the house! The scrapbook paper was $0.99 cents each and the wreath was $1.50, so this project cost me less than $5 bucks!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So the next time you are thrifting and come across outdated wooden pieces, snatch them up and give them a scrapbook paper makeover!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I am so excited to share this simple Christmas décor makeover today! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It is amazing how the power of paint can drastically change your décor. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In fact, I always tell people when shopping clearance sales and thrift stores to keep an open mind and look for pieces that are the right shape and size because you can always change the color with new paint. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So this past Summer when I attended the Nell Hill's annual tent sale, I followed my own advice and picked up these awesome candlesticks for $8 bucks each. They even came WITH the glass hurricanes BUT my dog knocked them over and broke the glass. Sigh.....so I no longer have the glass pieces but that's ok. I actually prefer to use the candlesticks without them anyway. </span></div>

</div> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2016/01/and-new-paint-color-is.html">changed the paint color in the front room</a> I got a new Ektorp sofa from Ikea and purchased two slip covers. I picked out the charcoal gray slip cover and this one below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is an oatmeal color similar to drop cloth material, with gray stitching and gray buttons. It was on clearance so I decided instead of getting white I would get this color, and I love it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It has set the stage for the rest of the décor in the room, but one wall remained a challenge. The wall above the sofa. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For some reason this wall has been a huge challenge for me! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For the longest time I could not decide which direction to take this space. I had several difference ideas but none of them came to fruition. In fact, I had purchased a canvas picture of my family, several different pictures, candle holders, etc. and nothing seemed to work so I just gave up. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>What to look for in a thrifted basket:</u></span></b><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Color</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Quality material (cheap flimsy woven materials don't hold up and are not worth buying)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Price (I RARELY ever spend more than $10 dollars)</span></li>
</ul><div><br />

</div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I bought this large basket a while back. It is very similar to the one I recently bought BUT this one is not as clean. It has all the other elements I look for, but it was a tad more worn so I will probably either paint it and keep it in the living room, or use it outside next summer to hold a large potted plant on my patio. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It would also make a great base for a Christmas Tree! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I personally love seeing them displayed in almost all rooms in the house. In a room like the kitchen or bathroom, I will actually put them to use for storage, but in the living room, I am more apt to do something like this where I display the basket empty. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So don't be afraid to search thrift stores or garage sales for baskets. You'll be amazed at what is out there! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: large;">This could be done with pinecones, or even acorns from your yard! I love using these glass jar three wick candles too so the wax does not run everywhere when it burns. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">If you add a free standing candle, be sure your filler is something that's not flammable, or that can be ruined by the wax. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">More ideas for a filler are:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">River rock</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Acorns</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pinecones</span></li>

I know it has been forever since I posted a blog post.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a little disappointed that I left my blog fall to the side as life unfolded, but what can I do? It is what it is and as I am typing this I realize just how much I miss it! Sharing my life, my creative ideas, and my journey making my house into a home with YOU! I have been sharing with you since I published the first post in late 2011, and that's a LONG TIME!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So to bring you up to date on some of the changes I have made to the house, here are a few pics to refresh your memory!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I basically created a gray and beige color pallet with pops of green tones and white.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I added this bead board wall with hooks by the front door and LOVE it! It is one of my all time favorite projects to date. (Sorry this night time picture was all I could find at the moment).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are considering planking a wall or adding bead board I say just go for it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It will really change the feel of your room. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I also bought two Byholma wicker chairs from Ikea for the front room and I moved this sofa table from the kitchen to the corner in the front room. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE this table! It can go anywhere in the house! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sofa table used to be in this spot below for the longest time, then I decided to move it to the front room and add this piece here that I found at the thrift store. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was going to paint it but quite honestly it looks nice the way that it is with the wood tones. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My cabinets are painted a cream color and the floors are a light linoleum so the wood tones in this piece warms up the kitchen and contrasts nicely with my cabinets. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Today I wanted to share with you some updates I have made in the dining room. This room has gone through a few changes starting with <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-paint-color-in-dining-room-going.html">a new paint color</a>, new Ikea sideboard you can read about <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2016/10/new-hemnes-sideboard.html">HERE</a>, and I have finally broken down and added some new artwork on the walls.</span> </div>

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It all started with this butterfly (or moth-you decide) picture that caught my eye. All of those rich saturated colors drew me in and I knew I had to have this picture. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So what's a girl to do with ONE picture? Hhhmm........decisions, decisions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I decided to go on a manhunt for a matching frame and try to create a grouping.</span> <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After searching high and low I found these frames at none other than Wal-Mart that look almost identical and they came with white matings too. Score! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All I had to do now was add these prints I purchased online from a daily deals sight and hang them up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Instant grouping! ....and I love it! It is just what this wall needed.</span> <br />

Today I wanted to show you my latest thrift store finds. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had a chance to run by the thrift store during the day....normally I go after work, so I was able to snag some things early before the crowd rushed in. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here you will see a small load I had in my card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love this black shirt with a heart. The heart is in animal print....super cute and I can't wait to wear it out.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><script>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also found a turquoise candle lantern, a couple baskets, and a small ironstone creamer/pitcher set.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then there were these two plant stands. My favorite thing to buy at the thrift store is outdoor décor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Outdoor décor can be so expensive and it is fully exposed to the elements so I don't like to spent a lot of money on it, so when I find good deals like these metal plant stands I snatch them up! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I actually bought both of these and gave one to my Mom.</span> <br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Spring time is such a great time to find deals at the thrift stores, and of course garage sales too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hope you have a chance to get out there and get some deals!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As far as my thrift store finds go, I am starting to post more of my thrifty finds on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/decorated_chaos/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCGk_nOP6jG2-s0eVQW6zyw">Youtube</a>, so hop on over to follow me there so you don't miss a beat! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now, back to that bench.......</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have been looking for pretty floral pieces to update my home but decent floral can be pricey, and rightfully so.

<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here are my top four tips for picking out inexpensive faux floral:</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>1. Shape & Size:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Faux flowers should be shaped in the same manner as the real flower. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Normally manufacturers of the mass retail version have the petals too widely spaced and the stems and leaves are usually not shaped correctly either, and the worst is if size is not quite right. Often times bulkier flowers like hydrangeas or lilacs will not be as full as the real deal simply because they are cheaper and the manufacturer is trying to keep costs down, and when they do that.....boy does it show!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>2. Color:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Faux flowers should be the same color as the actual flowers. I can't stand when I go shopping for faux flowers and see a flower in several different colors that is not natural to the real flower, or they use one color and there is no variation. In nature, real flowers have dimension and light or dark spaces on them. They are not one flat color so your faux version shouldn't be either! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>3. Texture:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Faux flowers should have the same texture as the real thing. For instance, lets talk faux tulips. The stem and foliage on a real tulip is thick and kind of waxy or rubbery feeling. Faux tulips should be the same, but most of the times the cheaper versions feel nothing like the real thing. The cheaper retailers use a standard material for the foliage as they use on other flowers and it is nothing like the real thing. Often times it feels like fabric and is matte with no sheen. The foliage on a real tulip is thick and waxy thus reflects light, and so should the faux version. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>4. Movement:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I bet this is one tip you weren't expecting. Movement! Real flowers droop a little, have irregular petal shapes and move with the wind. Many cheap faux flowers are stiff and do not lean or hold themselves like their real versions do. A qualify faux flower should react similarly as the real flower when put in a vase or laid on a table. The petals should droop or land accordingly and not look stiff or posed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here is a floral piece I picked up a WM for $3 dollars. I separated it and made two arrangements with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Not bad for $3 bucks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I cut three stems and put them in a flower frog I bought from a thrift store a long time ago.</span> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlUuKIq7iELgQHRXxfJNF4zLZndf2mvk5Vwu1VYlRS4PGhZwvNXBqHQamr9t46MsRab8jVxceFfbJbk5aYK5m2KEm7AvDwJbNEx3fVv0PB1h5dgM25-lkU9WkUhJ5hbjUvb8JeAUNpQ/s1600/Flowers1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlUuKIq7iELgQHRXxfJNF4zLZndf2mvk5Vwu1VYlRS4PGhZwvNXBqHQamr9t46MsRab8jVxceFfbJbk5aYK5m2KEm7AvDwJbNEx3fVv0PB1h5dgM25-lkU9WkUhJ5hbjUvb8JeAUNpQ/s640/Flowers1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And then took the other three stems and put them in this cute mini-hanging basket by my front door.</span> <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You may remember last year I started transforming my front room from yellow to gray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can read about it and see the before and after </span><a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2016/01/and-new-paint-color-is.html"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After changing out the wall color I refreshed the space with new accessories and moved some things around. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm still playing with the space above the couch, but this space right as you walk in from the mudroom adorns two shelves and a sofa table I have had for about eight years. I have used this table in my kitchen and in the entry way at the other house, and really enjoy it here on this wall.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On the bottom shelf I added a new Spring print I bought for a couple bucks from a daily deals website. I framed it in a white distressed frame with burlap matting I found on clearance at Target recently.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to add a mirror somewhere on this wall but didn't want to take up too much shelf space so I added a mirrored star. I use this star all year round and love it how it looks with the mixed metal too. Not too brassy and not to silvery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Its just right!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">She's a little warped, but I hardly notice it and she still has a lot of life to live, so I brought her home with me and added some thrifted white plates. The two smaller plates are ironstone pieces I picked up over the years, and the wooden star I found at Nell Hills at Christmas time. It is actually a Christmas ornament but I like to use stars throughout the entire year around the house and I thought this added a nice touch.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All she needed was a good cleaning, some light sanding, and new coat of bright white spray paint to do the trick, and now she is the focal point of a farmhouse vignette in my kitchen.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The other day when I was Christmas shopping I ran by our local Nebraska Furniture Mart to pick something up for someone. If you are in Kansas City you have to go by there. They are massive home décor and furniture store, and they are a retailer of the Magnolia Home line by Chip and Jo. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was there shopping for others but could not help myself!!! I had to take several pictures of all the farmhouse goodies to share with you so you can see just how gorgeous the line is.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We had an exceptionally warm Fall and in fact up until this weekend we were averaging in the upper 60s and mid 70s throughout most of October and November here in the mid-west. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did decorate a little for the season and before I packed it up and started hauling out Christmas totes I wanted to share with you one last look of my Fall décor.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I haven't posted much this year due to some family health issues that required my attention.

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have a 1940's cape cod that does not have a lot of storage space so as I makeover and redecorate I promised myself I would also tackle the storage issue in each room too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You may remember I gave my dining room a makeover a few years back when I switched from green to gray.....you can see the transformation <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-paint-color-in-dining-room-going.html">HERE</a>, and I love it!</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It came in two boxes and both boxes fit in my car too....we didn't even need to get a truck. .......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I always worry about that when I shop at Ikea but with two people we were able to fit this in my car and put it together in a few hours on a Friday night. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The sideboard top can double duty as decorative AND functional. It is wide enough and the perfect height to actually clear the top off and use it for holding all those side dishes during our holiday dinner. I used to set up folding tables for our side dishes but now I don't have to do that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also liked that it has a combination of drawers AND doors with hidden storage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There are other side boards that Ikea sells that have glass front doors. I really liked these too but knew I wanted to have closed storage to hide all of my stuff!!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hi friends! Today I thought I would take you on a mini-yard tour of the landscaping around my back patio. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have a huge patio that I love to use for entertaining in the Summertime and every year I rearrange, or add different flowers to, the landscaping around it, so I thought I would take you around and show you what I have planted this year. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For starters, as you walk out the back door you will see a well established pink Spirea. </span><script>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is such a fun little plant to have in your garden. They bloom little stalks with purple flowers and the leaves are green and fuzzy just like a lambs ear, hence the name. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Below is the landscaping in the early Spring before everything was in bloom. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I first bought the house years ago there was a privacy fence around the entire patio so those posts you see use to be the fence posts. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The trees were over grown and hung over the patio and the fence closed everything in making it damp and shady, so I decide to open things up by knocking down the fence and adding landscaping around. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I dug up two posts and that was plenty! I almost broke my back in the process as they are two to three feed down under the ground in cement!!! So after all that I decided to work with what I had so I left the rest of the posts in place and simply cut them down and capped them off with solar lights. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also stained them with outdoor spray stain which you can read about <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2014/06/staining-wood-posts-easy-way.html">HERE</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">That is some awesome stuff if you've got posts and vertical space to stain! I highly recommend it!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Back in 2011 I decided I wanted to plant a hydrangea. I have always loved them but heard they could be temperamental so I shied away from them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I finally broke down and wanted to get one that would bloom all Summer so for my first hydrangea I chose the Endless Summer variety. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The color, pink or blue, will depend on the ph of your soil which you can read about </span><a href="http://hydrangeashydrangeas.com/colorchange.html"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">, but mine is Blue and I love it like this! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Back in 2011 (pre-blogging) when I planted mine it bloomed nicely but after a few years I got nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Not ONE bloom!!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On the bright side, the day before the rain started I was able to tackle two small projects related to my patio and I can't wait to show you once the rain subsides!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Every Spring I always look forward to getting creative with my black urn. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The urn is usually a focal point on my porch so I try to do something different with it each year. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Over the years there have been many different things I have planted...some survived and some didn't, but here are some of my favorite looks for my urn. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This was back in 2013 and I went with darker purple tones using various styles of coleus mixed with a potato vine and purple fountain grass of some sort. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I really like how rich this mixture of color looks against a beige house. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I stayed away from "flowery" and went with more foliage and it turned out to be one of my favorite designs. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The following year I was back at the Cape Code house, which is a white house with green shutters, so I chose to plant something bolder with more color that would stand out against a white house. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The lime green an hot pink colors were perfect and they lasted all the way into fall!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I chose coleus for this again, but this time I only used coleus and I loved it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Funny thing, coleus is supposed to be a partial shade plant but this area gets full sun. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As you can see the coleus did't mind it and filled in nicely to create a very colorful focal point for my porch. .....this too is another one of my favorite styles. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ok, so I love this urn so much that I bought another one for my side yard where I get more shade. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is a really lush space, and until buying my house I never realized how much color you can get in a shaded area. You just have to know which plants work best for shade. </span></div>

I started back in January with a new paint color, then gave my mirror above my fireplace a makeover, and since then I have been shopping around for accessories. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Spring is here and that means refreshing our outdoor spaces. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I don't know about you, but I do not like spending a lot of money out outdoor décor because I do not have a covered porch and the sun, wind, and rain tend to ruin everything. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I was cleaning out my garage to go through all of my outdoor items I saw these two copper lanterns that I had shoved to the back of a shelf and forgotten all about. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I remember buying them at a thrift store and they were on dirt cheap Christmas clearance after the holidays. They were $1.98 each! I thought I would paint them or perhaps clean them up and use them in my Christmas décor and I never got around to working with them,<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span> so when I rediscovered them on the back of my shelf in the garage, I did the happy dance.</span> </div>

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now, these lanterns are not pretty as they are with that metal ribbon do-hickey attached to them so I decided to try to remove this piece without damaging the lanterns.</span> <br />

Of course my number one source for home décor inspiration is from you guys....my fellow bloggers. I surround myself with all of your beautiful décor daily as I open up all those emails and visit my social media sites to see what you are working on. You are my number one resource for inspiration, but I also find inspiration in other ways beyond blogging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My next favorite resource for home décor inspiration is magazines. Even as a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s I would read my Mom's Better Homes and Gardens magazines and ooohhh and awweeee over all the gorgeous home décor trends and landscape designs and dreamed of having my own home someday so I could make it beautiful just like the pages of the magazine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So needless to say, I have always been a home décor/style junkie and I have always been drawn to all those pretty pictures in the magazines/catalogs and these are some of my favorites:</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I know, I know, it has been weeks since I last posted. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Quite frankly, life hit me hard in late February. I was juggling some family issues, I got sick around the end of February, and then I have been super busy at work, so I just needed a short break. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But never fear, things have started to settle down and I am getting back into my normal routine. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So lets see.....I last left you at the tail end of my bead board entry way wall. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had put up the bead board, installed a shelf/ledge, and now I need to update you on how we finished it off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You may remember, I gave my front <a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-front-landscape-reveal.html">landscaping a makeover</a> last Summer and I am happy to report that it appears I did not kill anything! So far most of my landscaping looks like it survived as almost everything has buds on it. Woot! Woot!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As for my Spring mantel, I did not dedicate an entire post to my Spring mantel this year, but I did pick up a few pieces and freshened up my mantel. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My favorite piece is this galvanized flower vase that I got at the Target dollar spot for $5 bucks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am really looking forward to picking back up on my blog posts over the next week and getting back into the swing of my regular daily activities. Its amazing how much more you appreciate your "boring" daily routine when it is ripped out from under you. I had been so stressed out lately that having my so called "boring" daily routine back is a major blessing!!!!</span> <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My goal is to create an entryway and I wanted the space to be functional. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is a small space at the bottom of the staircase and next to the front door so I wanted to build a shelf/ledge, and install hooks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Before I can put up either I needed to decide how wide I wanted the ledge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I decided to make it wide enough for a picture ledge that can also hold a small candle and other décor, so I chose to use a 1x4. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also decided on a wide header that would hold hooks so I chose a 1x6 for the header. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I knew my wall was 36 and 3/4 inches but ding dong me decided to have HD cut the board to 37 inches thinking I didn't want it to be too short. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since it did not fit I have to cut a little off so I marked the boards with my cut line using a pencil and then used my hand saw to cut it. </span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Man, what a workout for your arms! I really need to get a miter saw at some point. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After finishing this project I would like to tell you to NOT do it this way! LOL </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My board shifted and some four letter words were expelled from my mouth and I had to improvise, so if you decide to do it this way make SURE you secure the two pieces with clamps so they do not move on you.</span> <br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can do this by yourself like I did, but I suggest having someone hold it while you level and use the nail gun.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I started by painting the room a </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2016/01/and-new-paint-color-is.html">new color</a></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> and </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com/2016/01/what-do-you-do-when-you-dont-have-chalk.html">updating the accessories</a></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And for those of you who follow me on Twitter and Instagram have caught a glimpse of my final project in the living room but I will give everyone a hint...it involves creating an entryway space by the front door. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The space is tiled already and the tile kind of marks off what would be an entry way area so I have a good spot to start with, but in order to fully create a usable entryway I need to do something with the walls so I decided on doing a bead board wall treatment. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I purchased a style</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><i> </i></b>of bead board <b><i>similar</i></b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> to this that had winder planks than the traditional bead board. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unfortunately, I thought I also too a picture of the ACTUAL one I purchased and I must have forgotten, but this is very similar to the one I got.</span> </div>

</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Use a template. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is how I did it and it worked great for me so I am passing the tip on to you with a step by step tutorial:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Before doing <u>anything</u> I measured the length and width of the space I wanted to cover with the bead board and had the guys at HD cut it to my exact measurements. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After that my bead board is the right size, I turned it over and rolled out a piece of wrapping paper to the same size as my bead board and then taped it to my wall.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What I have now is a piece of wrapping paper that meets the exact measurements of my bead board and my space, so all I have to do is take scissors and score/cut around the outlet and light holes. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To do this just simply use your hands to feel around the space and score with your scissors accordingly, then cut your scored lines. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once the template was ready with the holes cut out I took it off the wall, flipped my bead board over and taped it to the front of my bead board to secure it for my next step. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Next, just take a pencil and trace around where the outlet and light switch holes, then use your tools to cut them out. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">That's me tracing the holes for the light switches and wall socket onto the bead board. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We used a Dremel to cut out the holes but you can use whatever cutting tool you chose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once the holes are cut out its time to nail the bead board in place.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Many people will tell you to use liquid nails on the back of your bead board so its completely secure to the wall with no warps, BUT my space is fairly small AND I want the flexibility of being able to remove it later down the road without tearing into my sheet rock. so I opted for simply nailing it with a nail gun and I did <b>NOT use ANY</b> adhesive on the back. </span></div>
