I promise I will post some pics soon of the progress of that, but I wanted to pop in quickly and show you something that I had been wanting to try.<br />
You see, the house came with all those construction grade light fixtures. The ones we have all seen a million times....shiny gold and not so much my favorite. I thought immediately about just pulling everything out and getting all new. I'm drawn to all the exposed Edison bulbs and the industrial look and getting new would make life much easier, except I started adding up all the costs of the light fixtures and wow, I could easily spend over a thousand dollars replacing everything!! <br />
I saw this spray paint by Rust-Oleum called Forged Hammered Burnished Amber and thought, well why not try using what I already have. The only thing I had to lose was the $7 something I paid for the spray paint. Can I just make the light fixtures that are there look industrial and add those cool Edison Bulbs to them???<br />
<br />
Here is the result. I'm going to keep it until I move everything in and see how it looks with my furnishings. I'm also going to paint the shiny gold ceiling fans and I'll let you see how that goes.<br />

I'm pretty sure I have it all together and then I get out to the stores and bammm, there I am walking out of Home Goods with a red ceramic elephant that has nothing to do with where I was going in the first place!!! I mean Home Goods is one of the best stores on the planet, but again, I'm easily distracted.<br />
<br />
So when I'm working on a big project, like this new house, I have found putting together a design board works wonders and keeps me focused. Ya, sometimes I feel ridiculous walking around with it, but it saves me time & money (2 things I am fond of) when I'm out wandering.<br />

This house seems to be taking us the longest to get done, not because it's hard, it's just hard to find the time. The plan this weekend is to get a majority of it finished....floors, new base trim and painting....so we can at least start moving. </a></div>

My head is so full of new ideas and things I want to make for my Etsy Shop. I really miss doing the Kane County Market back in Illinois, so I guess filling the shop on-line with things will have to do until I find a place here in Texas to sell. <br />
While I'm trying to figure out the decorating plan in the new house, I knew I needed some basics for myself, like some fresh dish towels. Nothing was quite hitting the nail on the head and then I realized, HELLO, make some yourself!! <br />
So here they are with some of my favorite song lyrics..... They are also available in my<a href="http://www.jillianhaupt.etsy.com/"> Etsy Shop</a>!!<br />

I also grabbed a few of these wine totes from my distributor. I thought they would make great gifts for Bridesmaids, Maid of Honor, or even the wedding couple!<br />

And lastly, I absolutely LOVE these flowy tanks! I have plenty of the gold and silver glitter vinyl, so I thought they would make a cute addition to the shop. You can even add your wedding date if you like!</div>

Today we signed the papers on a tiny little house in Texas. We just couldn't stand renting because, well, it was making us crazy not having house projects!!! To be completely honest, it's nothing that we were necessarily looking for as far as houses go. If you know Kurt and I, then you know how much we love old, historical homes with quirky spaces and surprises around every corner. <br />
Well, you can't ALWAYS get what you want, so you just gotta make the best of it! We had a certain area we needed to stay in that was close to where Kurt is working and found this tiny, 900ish square foot home that is going to be perfect for the 2 of us and a visiting college student. <br />

<span style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It's about as basic as you can get, so you know I'm itching to get rid of all the "run of the mill" light fixtures and baseboards. The big bridge in the living room is interesting (haha) so I have a few ideas for changing that!We were in the place about 20 minutes after the closing and managed to get a few projects started. First was the awful carpet...bye bye!!</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are going to put hardwood flooring throughout the house. Hopefully all one flooring will make the space feel less chopped up. I don't know if you can tell, but the ceilings have a really obnoxious plaster stippling effect on them. Not looking forward to removing that, but not sure if I can handle the textured ceiling. My neck is hurting thinking about it...YUCK!!!!!!</div>

Next thing on the list was the fireplace. It's ok, but could be a lot better, especially with the high ceilings. I'm on Pinterest every night looking for ideas on that one. We knew we at least needed to get the tile up for the installation of the wood floors.</div>

The final project for the day was removing the island in the kitchen. The space is not that big to begin with and this island took up almost the whole entire room. Plus, it wasn't anything to write home about anyway. I'm sure I can come up with something cuter!!</div>

If you know me, then you know I LOVE the details!! Here is a project that will make you look like an absolute pro for your next event. It's the simplest of crafts, yet makes such a great impact when used for decorating a party or used in the background in a photo shoot. The basis for this one, coffee filters!! Yup, cheap ol coffee filters and few tea bags (if you want yours to have that soft cream color)</div>

The basic supplies needed are:<br />
Stapler<br />
Scissors<br />
Some ribbon (I make mine 10 feet long)<br />
5 tea bags (will make about 10 or more garlands)<br />
Glue gun<br />

Step 1: take 3 coffee filters and stack them up<br />
Step 2: Fold them in half<br />
Step 3: Fold over again into quarters<br />
Step 4: Fold one last time<br />

Step 5: You don't need to be perfect on this one, or even really draw the shape in. I just wanted you to see how the tops should to be cut off.<br />
Step 6: Showing what it looks like after the layers have been cut through.<br />
Step 7: Take the layers and separate them. You don't want to have the edges matched back perfectly. Stack them back up together.<br />
Step 8: Pinch the back together and staple it.<br />

Apply some glue and press another flower to it and VOILA, the start of your flower paper garland!!</a></div>
I use 12 full flowers for each garland....but of course you can make yours any size you like!<br />

It's no secret by now that I have a love affair with apothecary jars! They just come in so handy when you need a cute place to store things or want to show off a collection. I have purchased most of mine at Home Goods over the years. Kurt has gotten to the point that he knows if we're stopping, we will probably be coming home with a couple more that I couldn't resist! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here I have used them to store all of my supplies. It really helps to see what you have and because of that, I have found that I get inspired to create much more often!</div>

Oh and let me tell you, they are the BEST for parties. They will make you look like a pro without much work at all. I used them at my dear friends wedding shower and filled them with color coordinated candies. The labels I designed and printed myself, but you could easily use pre-cut tags from the scrapbook section and hand label them....I adore beautiful handwriting!!<br />

For this little gathering I had to be quick, so truth be told, I ran to Wal-Mart and purchased all pre-made goodies.....powdered doughnuts, rice crispie squares, vanilla oreos and cupcakes from the bakery section. The trick is to get them all in the same color scheme and VOILA...instant sweetness!!!<br />

You'll even find them looming in my bathroom filled with all the daily essentials...soap, cotton balls, Q-tips. They can make inexpensive items look so much more chic, plus you always know when you are running out!<br />

<br />
I'm sure I can find reasons to have more, like a friend had suggested to use them in the laundry room, or how about the pantry, or even some on my office desk with those everyday supplies. And of course filled with Christmas decor.....I could go on and on!!<br />

Since we are in a rental and not really sure how long we will stay, it's been just a tiny bit awkward for us. We aren't used to holding back and not being able to do whatever we want to do to our home. We did our best to make it feel cozy!<br />

I have to admit, I am jealous of all the snow falling up north and if you know me, you know how much I LOVE a beautiful snowfall! It is a strange feeling to walk outside in 65 degree weather a week before Christmas, but it is very beautiful here. It really looks more like fall outside right now and it's very nice opening the windows, so there are positives and negatives no matter where you go!<br />
<br />
We just added some snowflakes of our own....and no shoveling!<br />

Kurt and I have never had a fresh tree in the 21 years we have been married. Mostly because we have always had a cat and knew they would be obnoxious with it! Now we just have the 2 pups, so we thought it would be safe to give the real tree a try. <br />
Because of where we are now, the woodland Christmas theme seemed more appropriate and something new and fun. Kayla helped me make homemade ornaments, collect pinecones outside and add a few furry woodland animals in the tree.<br />

Finally starting to feel settled in our new location, The Woodlands, TEXAS and we LOVE it so far. Southern hospitality does exist! In fact, I have noticed that when folks say "how are you doing?" here in Texas, they ACTUALLY want to know HOW YOU ARE DOING! That being said, it can take an extra 15 minutes in line at the grocery store!!! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now on to the fun stuff, decorating!!!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is going to be a bit challenging for me since we will be renting a house for the next year. Kurt and I haven't rented a place since the first year we were married, 21 years ago, so it's hard for us to not knock walls down and tear up flooring. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first place to get put together is my work space so I can, well, GET TO WORK! The only furniture we brought from the old house was a huge antique store hutch and a large, square table...that's it! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There wasn't much to do to the hutch except fill it with all my materials.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfteZaNnC1xw6_DiQWDlrWMkGwFP248raR3y0-KA70QYgvnHxs91T_40LH1UTjUDtHsC8S7TlDHkX1-P1Zok-9KE69_MrjQXJGqqQcGLUJoJR2HZ3ZcRmy8GVJKBZ8aaNIQHtm08c16fvu/s1600/office1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfteZaNnC1xw6_DiQWDlrWMkGwFP248raR3y0-KA70QYgvnHxs91T_40LH1UTjUDtHsC8S7TlDHkX1-P1Zok-9KE69_MrjQXJGqqQcGLUJoJR2HZ3ZcRmy8GVJKBZ8aaNIQHtm08c16fvu/s640/office1.jpg" height="640" width="430" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I was having such an issue with finding stools for my table. Nothing I was seeing for sale was getting me too excited. When I did see something I liked, the price tag was wayyyyyy out of what I wanted to spend. I love pottery barn, but come on, $299.00 per chair? Not happening with me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I stumbled upon these 4 chairs at a antique/resale shop I thought they would work just fine. They were solid wood at least, pretty sturdy and actually a do-able color. The price was just right too, $120.00 for all 4. Of course the sales girl was all over us on how great they were and what a nice antique set....I didn't have the heart to tell her there was a Target sales tag on the bottom of each of them, lol! I didn't really care much that they were antique or not, just that they would work.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon we got them in the truck, I turned to Kurt and when I went to open my mouth he said, "yes, just paint them or do whatever you are going top do to them." He KNOWS ME!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been inspired by all the natural wood out there lately, like in Restoration Hardware. It is very unlike me to not paint something, but I'm giving this a shot. The chairs were painted black with a faux suede seat cover, not awful but could be better.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sanded off almost all of the paint. The first chair was actually fun to sand, the second I could have done without the chair back....the third, "why the hell did I decide to do this!!!", the fourth, thanks Kurty for helping me :) </div>

Once they were all sanded and the wood was just raw, I really liked them. I'm not going to put any finish on them at all.</div>

Now the cushions needed some work. I love all the flour sack covered furniture, so I did my own spin on it. Since there were no flour sacks immediatly available, and I wanted to finish this project in a weekend, I made due with what I could find. <br />
A canvas drop cloth from the hardware store. Its very durable and very affordable material...$9.00, plus plenty of extra material. <br />

I decided to be extra clever and print Kurt, Kayla and my birthdays on each of the cushions and then the extra one has our wedding day. I know, corny, but hey it works!<br />

I'm in love with how they turned out! In fact, I may have to go online and order a couple more "antique" stools from Target so that I can have a couple more in the kitchen. <br />

Oh, I had every intention of being such a good blogger! I was going to write wonderful ideas and show you all the things I was up to on a regular basis....and then life happened! Kurt and I have decided to put our house up for sale, so we have been busy painting, scrubbing, drywalling the basement, adding another bathroom and did I mention painting?!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am EXHAUSTED!! But it's all ready for showings and we can't wait to get the ball rolling! Here are just a few shots of the house, enjoy!!</div>

The railings, trims, stained glass windows, front door and wood floors are all original to the house. We had the floors restored about 5 years ago and didn't realize until they were refinished, how amazing the borders were.</div>

I found the medallion on the ceiling at a garage sale. It was originally white and it's made out of foam. I painted it to match the finish on the original chandellier. Most people assume it's quite heavy and made of tin.<br />

This was the original back staircase to the house. When we moved in, it had been converted into a bathroom...well, I hesitate to say "bathroom", it was just a toilet in the closet...so weird!!!<br />
We were going to turn it back into the staircase, but then decided we needed more storage for the kitchen, and created a pantry.<br />

A lot of love and work went into this kitchen. Kurt made the cabinets and I painted the finish, as well as adding the marble backsplash and painting the faux finish around the stove area. The light fixture was another garage sale find and only cost me $5.00!!<br />

A spare bedroom that I covered in old book pages of poems. It's really a fun process and doesn't take that long. It's great for covering beat up walls!!<br />

It was a great house to raise a kid in, have Christmas parties, hang on the porch during parades and festivals, walk into town for a bite to eat, visit with neighbors....but it's time now for a new adventure, so if you are looking for a house in Morris, IL, come check ours out!! </div>

I've been hunting around the thrift shops in town for something fun and unique to hang all the charm necklaces I have for sale. It wasn't turning out to be any easy task because I thought I wanted something that was already made for jewelry....but everything was too short or too much work to make into a jewelry holder or just too boring.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bummed that I didn't find that "unique piece", I decided to take one last look in my collection of treasures (or as Kurt would call it, my hoarding problem!) and low and behold...could I make this lamp work?!!!</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS6n9LKis8QWxkF7qWked-BgtpjE2CMqM5z113F-iWsT-Y1pZsr8_NTh6dIOCT44S2tKP_mlSED-YQvLW_cxk74DgoIUgB54eKd8tHDOhxJt5174ZzKFSQo0_vDR5r9jGoH3EKXxZtMouy/s1600/lamp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS6n9LKis8QWxkF7qWked-BgtpjE2CMqM5z113F-iWsT-Y1pZsr8_NTh6dIOCT44S2tKP_mlSED-YQvLW_cxk74DgoIUgB54eKd8tHDOhxJt5174ZzKFSQo0_vDR5r9jGoH3EKXxZtMouy/s640/lamp1.jpg" width="380" /></a><br />

It was kinda busted up anyway, so I stripped off the cheap plastic faux leather shade and spray painted the whole thing with my favorite chocolate metallic spray paint and voila, a neclace holder with TONS of room for every charm necklace that I had! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9l5KSW9p4F4h3YheAln_fedYaiUB3uoWbB8u6MuBYaRW3she_nJ3wX6Suo-JUctBLCAtVnV81RBLBOnEhdB5dDFKXUT1LEoGFY1hZEYnyXMdU4IMh2BhyYFe-yzssCNWjiVhG-3wl9n5/s1600/lamp2+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9l5KSW9p4F4h3YheAln_fedYaiUB3uoWbB8u6MuBYaRW3she_nJ3wX6Suo-JUctBLCAtVnV81RBLBOnEhdB5dDFKXUT1LEoGFY1hZEYnyXMdU4IMh2BhyYFe-yzssCNWjiVhG-3wl9n5/s640/lamp2+copy.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>

I like it so much, I may need one on my dresser now. I could see all kinds of flower clips on it and I could hang bracelets and necklaces...maybe even a couple photos pinned on it.

The great thing about finding small pieces is that you can have them done in such a short amount of time. </span></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I started by giving each ladder a couple coats of paint.</div>

<br />
Once the ladders had dried (with a little help from a blow dryer), I took a little fine grit sanding paper just to "rough" them up a bit. They will end up getting knocked around when I travel with them from show to show, so why not help them along....it adds character!<br />

The best part is that they work so well for displaying other items. <br />

The challenge: turning a 12' X 24' garage addition into a workspace that doesn't feel like you are stuck out in the garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><b>Oh and did I mention, on a budget?! </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">After the installation of the insulation, drywall and wiring ($560.00), it was time to get started</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been shopping a ton at our local "Re-Store" in hopes of finding items that would work. One of the first treasures we stumbled upon were these old french doors that were $130.00 for the set. We fell in love with them instantly and we're going to make them work, no matter what.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so lucky to have Kurt, he can really turn any idea into reality!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz-KL45v6CIPsw4EDf0lwmBl6kfdpwCZcmQ_fE1V2XD4w9XVFbxlW7K10kNt8YaaFRjutbHKpjU5sK6JaG-53KUMDHoP-pXjB0kqC7-XggNRdInexZsndz85NIkQLN9pWFR_eHj0_8f3IX/s1600/manspace1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz-KL45v6CIPsw4EDf0lwmBl6kfdpwCZcmQ_fE1V2XD4w9XVFbxlW7K10kNt8YaaFRjutbHKpjU5sK6JaG-53KUMDHoP-pXjB0kqC7-XggNRdInexZsndz85NIkQLN9pWFR_eHj0_8f3IX/s640/manspace1.jpg" width="484" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since this will be where Kurt spends most of his time working, we are going for a more masculine feel. The ceiling is being painted Sharkskin (sounds scary and man-ly!!))</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kurt was pumped when he found the 9 recessed can lights at Re-Store for just $4.00 each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The exterior door, another Re-Store purchase, was only $50.00. We had purchased a door exactly like it just a few months prior for our basement and it was over $200.00...grrrr!</div>

The crown molding was $32.00 and the 2 hanging lights were $30.00 each.<br />
The lights were from a Red Lobster restaurant. (Fitting for the Sharkskin ceiling, right?!!)<br />

And here's Kurt, sealing the cement floor. We decided to keep it simple with the flooring, since paint may spaltter here and there. Plus, it keeps the expenses down.<br />
Next up, the machines, furniture and DECORATING...the fun stuff!!!Jillian Haupthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07695698997312096747noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424091664261651633.post-53345612762644491962013-04-11T13:44:00.001-07:002013-04-11T13:44:34.724-07:00A Love/Hate Relationship<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does anyone else out there share my pain? I'm not sure half the time if I love having my windows free from coverings, or if they should be draped in layers. My ultimate fear is that once I have spent the money on yards of beautiful fabric and all the expensive hardware needed to make a proper curtain, that it will just end up looking like a obnoxious prom gown that I will hate within a month or 2. Not to mention, I will have to make it as well! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I talk like this has happened before.....YES, it has!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNoTfjVtk7bobY40Tf8Vioi6DX8DyUgqUsnP73HnlsU9WBrp3oiifPC94ooFge6pgCICfMj_jRGHT_-dc82dfpX1tF-KpUCG0Qvi0_xf9g2tltjF1ATkVanILxlooqsX8emz0uLRJoGEtY/s1600/window1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNoTfjVtk7bobY40Tf8Vioi6DX8DyUgqUsnP73HnlsU9WBrp3oiifPC94ooFge6pgCICfMj_jRGHT_-dc82dfpX1tF-KpUCG0Qvi0_xf9g2tltjF1ATkVanILxlooqsX8emz0uLRJoGEtY/s640/window1.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
So I go through all the pros and cons:<br />
PRO - I love letting the light in<br />
CON - I hate letting the neighbors in on what I'm watching for my late night "guilty pleasure" television show. Yes, I'm addicted to Project Runway and Dance Moms!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PRO - I love the trim moldings and architecture around old windows, so I don't want to cover it up<br />
CON - I don't love that anyone can see me changing in my bedroom!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PRO - Open windows allow me to watch the world around me, enjoy nature every once in awhile.<br />
CON - Did I mention that our neighbors can see EVERY move we make?!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I have basically settled for simple gathered curtains that hang from a tension rod in most of the private rooms. I'm not sure they are my ultimate fave, but they serve their purpose and will get me by until I can find something that will suit my needs. <br />
