<span style="font-size: large;">'Cause I might be getting a new kitchen! My poor little brain cannot process this information and I am on complete overload because I have been glued to the computer for hours looking at a gazillion kitchen photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It all started last Monday when we had our annual termite inspection. Everything was great, no termites, woohoo. Then the guy tells me that there is standing water underneath the house and we should get it checked out. OK, no biggie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So the plumber came on Thursday and joyfully reported that we do indeed have a leak coming from a pipe at the kitchen sink. This pipe runs through the wall behind about 4ft of cabinetry. In order to fix the problem, this section of cabinetry along with the sink and counter top would need to be removed and then replaced.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, my first words to Tebe after this verdict was "WE NEED A NEW KITCHEN!!". He was not happy. At all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But with a little bit of coercion, I think he may be on board. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So far, I know that these things will happen in my kitchen: e</span><span style="font-size: large;">ncaustic tile, b</span><span style="font-size: large;">lue cabinets, rustic wood</span><span style="font-size: large;">, and b</span><span style="font-size: large;">rass. Here are all the images I am loving right now:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a Bama fan, so I was pretty excited this past weekend when we beat Texas A&M. Even some Auburn people were rooting for us in the wake of all the "Johnny Football" drama. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even so, I still have a soft spot for Texas A&M. You may remember I was working on a student housing project in College Station (see photos <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/02/work-stuff.html">here </a></span><span style="font-size: large;">and</span><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/04/clubbin.html">here</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">) right before I had to quit my job (insert sad face and tears here). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But my sweetest friend/former co-worker sent me some salvaged photos from the installation of the project (in my job we almost never had photos of a finished space because construction was rarely complete during installation). So, although these aren't magazine worthy, they give you a peek at what the finished project looks like.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the middle of writing this post I decided to Google The Cottages of College Station (I tried this before but no one had posted photos yet) and found a few more photos of the project. These were taken by <a href="http://writethroughthelens.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-cottages-of-college-station-college.html">Chris Luker</a>, a Birmingham based photographer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know if I shared this before, but the wallpaper in Savannah's room is by Designers Guild and comes from their Amalienborg collection. The pattern is "Sanssouci" and the colorway is "Heather". (If you aren't familiar with Designers Guild, check out their <a href="http://www.designersguild.com/fabric-and-wallpaper-showroom/wallpaper-and-wall-coverings/">website</a> because it is fabulous.) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Photos are great, but have you ever thought of commissioning a piece of art as a way to display special memories? I found a few great artists who offer commissioned portraits.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AllanSchuler?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Alan Schuler</a> features house portraits on Etsy. A custom watercolor will only set you back $45. This would be a great way to remember that first house or maybe your childhood home.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://susanwoodard.com/">Susan Woodard</a> does some amazing watercolors of children. She doesn't include facial features, so I think her best portraits show children engaged in a favorite activity. Her work is a bit more expensive, but a smaller watercolor is still pretty affordable for original art.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">How easy is this idea from the Ballard Designs catalog? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They simply hung a tie top curtain on some metal wall hooks. Although they show a headboard in the photo, the curtain itself would make a great instant headboard if you didn't have the money to purchase an actual piece of furniture. I love the drama the fabric panel adds to the space!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love it when people get creative with kids stuff because frankly my brain doesn't ever really get creative with kids stuff. I just don't think that way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this month's issue of Coastal Living, India Hicks elevates an ordinary child's building toy to high art by placing it inside an acrylic display box. Each time her daughter plays with the toy, the new creation goes on display for the family to enjoy. Pretty cool idea.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you're not a mommy, you may not be interested in this post so just check back with me later (I always hate it when decorating blogs feature other subjects and now I'm doing it)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are a mommy, you may already have yourself together, but as for me I have been struggling with Mommy Frump. You roll out of bed, feed your kids, get urped up on a few times, somehow manage to get into the shower, get yourself clean, pull your hair into a pony and throw on some old shorts and a t-shirt and you call that getting dressed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was sporting my Mommy Frump the other day as I dropped Savannah off at preschool. I thought "These people don't care what I look like, they only see me for a total of five minutes." But then I saw the working moms dropping off their kids and they were fashionably dressed for work and I realized that I had turned into one of those moms from "What Not to Wear" (you know, the ones who wear ratty old clothes from 1983 and never buy anything new for themselves and think that putting on a pair of jeans is dressing up). Probably one of my biggest fears in life. I had to remedy this situation ASAP.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I started thinking, what would make a great Mommy outfit? It would need to be simple, easy, comfy, and appropriate for a range of activities. It would also need to look pulled together with a minimum of effort. Here's what I came up with for summer:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">#1 - The Uniform</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A dress is best. Comfortable enough for me to roll around in the floor playing with the kids, but polished enough to look good in public. It also makes getting dressed quicker because its only one piece, no worries about coordinating tops and pants. I snagged a couple of cute ones at Target this week on sale for $20 each. (Tip: make sure to check the weekly ads for sales and the online coupons for extra savings).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">#2 - The Kicks</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I live in sandals during the summer, and I've found that gold ones or silver ones pretty much go with anything, so I have a pair of both. I love how the metallic is subtle and blends in with my skin so that my short, stubby legs look a wee bit longer. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Limiting your options to a few classic items is key. Since I have a baby, I really only wear earrings (everything else gets pulled and chewed on). My favorites are gold or silver hoops or diamond studs.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">#4 - The 'Do</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have long hair, but in the summer it's impossible to wear it down. It's just too hot and the baby yanks on it all the time, so I've started pulling it up in a topknot. Not sure if mine looks as good as this, but its quick and easy and looks better than wearing a ball cap.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">#5 - The Makeup</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although I'm at home all day, I still need some makeup (I'm so envious of those women who don't need foundation to look good). I'm usually able to put on some foundation, powder, blush, and fill in my eyebrows. Eye shadow is out, it just takes too long. A great way to look finished is with a vibrant lipstick color. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the past I would have never considered making such a bold statement, but when the rest of your makeup is pared down you can afford to be a little more daring with your lip color. MAC has some great colors like <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl">"Lady at Play" and "Candy Yum Yum"</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know how I've missed these people considering the fact that I have an abiding love for this type of tile and I used it in my <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-house-tour-master-bathroom.html">bathroom renovation</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">The bonus room. It's basically been a junk room for the past five years. When we first bought the house, we thought we might convert it into a large master bedroom with a bath. But then we realized we didn't really need a large bedroom and bath and that this space was more valuable as a home gym/playroom. So then we had grand plans of totally renovating the room. This would involve ripping down paneling, putting up sheetrock, moving lighting, installing new flooring, etc. At this point we just really couldn't afford to spend the money to make all that happen but we wanted to make the room more user friendly. So we decided that a small cosmetic reno was the easiest way to make this a usable space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the inspiration board:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The jumping off point for the design is the striped chair. I have a pair of these left over from the living room in our first house. They are in great shape, I'm just not super in love with them anymore but they will be fine to be used in the kid's playroom. The color scheme is cream and black with a dash of coral. Can't wait to see this space come together!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes its just fun to look at super fabulous stuff that you could never in a million gazillion years afford. And even if I could afford it, my conscience wouldn't let me pay that much for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I spied these wall sconces on <a href="http://www.bijouandboheme.blogspot.com/2013/07/jaspers-nursery-reveal-in-style-at-home.html">Bijou and Boheme</a> and couldn't stop thinking about them.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thought about how gorgeous they would be in the bonus room with my striped chairs and mid-century chest (after it gets a new coat of paint).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Our long neglected bonus room/workout space/furniture graveyard/toy dump needs a complete makeover. This will require lots of brain power and probably will not occur until mid-year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been working on the dining room for a couple of years now and each piece has been added as I've been able to afford it, which makes for a long decorating process. This means that I have looked at this partially finished room a bazillion times over the past few years and am never sure if its coming together or if I like the things I've chosen for it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While staring at it the other day, I almost decided to ditch my dining room drapes. I had them custom made a couple of years ago and loved them then, but as I looked at them I thought maybe it was time to move on. I thought the </span><span style="font-size: large;">room was looking a little too country/granny/conservative for me and I was positive that the drapes were the culprit (ignore the chandy, its long gone).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I found this little vignette from Teryn on </span><a href="http://www.isuwannee.com/2013/08/one-chair-eighty-bajillion-ways.html" style="font-size: x-large;">I Suwannee</a><span style="font-size: large;"> and it is pretty much the inspiration board that I neglected to put together for myself. Definitely captures the vibe I was trying to create in this space.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I found these pillows from Etsy shop </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/orientaltribe11?ref=seller_info" style="font-size: x-large;">Oriental Tribe 11</a><span style="font-size: large;"> via </span><a href="http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/2013/07/etsy-shop-find-oriental-tribe.html" style="font-size: x-large;">Elements of Style</a><span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been looking for pillows for the chairs in front of my fireplace for a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These pillows might just be the thing to make the whole room come together. Kinda traditional, kinda tribal, but cool and edgy all at the same time. I think this is gonna work. And I'm sticking with the drapes.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now that Savannah's room is finished (for now at least) let's take a look at the small changes that made a big difference in pulling this room together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#1 - Art</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will say that selecting art to coordinate with a heavily patterned wallpaper was a bit of a challenge. Although you have wallpaper, you still need art. The trick here was to frame the art with wide white mats to give the eye a place to "rest" from all of the pattern and color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Above the bed I used Ikea's <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80243537/#/40101040">Ribba</a> frames to display some of my favorite photos of my girl in action. She's so vibrant and playful and these images capture her personality perfectly.</span></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/AVvXsEhHEiNgRWd8qEFHPhsGPAHMUUFfUYpA7lwVsmyYE2_dtRiA6TPYa8LOMw28ifwAQg8gmdMY0xSnBaZ46Wzus67GhuiXEcjN5_v-N3dep4uCBc9PWUFvyNee520lxFhE-vUnnUljk1bYxtH6/s1600/DSC05272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHEiNgRWd8qEFHPhsGPAHMUUFfUYpA7lwVsmyYE2_dtRiA6TPYa8LOMw28ifwAQg8gmdMY0xSnBaZ46Wzus67GhuiXEcjN5_v-N3dep4uCBc9PWUFvyNee520lxFhE-vUnnUljk1bYxtH6/s640/DSC05272.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i>The art on the chest was sourced from Etsy and Society 6. The large abstract is <i><a href="http://society6.com/product/Colors-209_Print">Colors 209</a> </i>by Jen Ramos. I framed it myself by purchasing a ready made frame which I painted gold. Since the print was not a standard size, I had the craft store cut a mat to fit. Much cheaper that having it custom framed. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The </span><i style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/102871797/small-gold-love-print?ref=usr_faveitems">Love</a> </i><span style="font-size: large;">print is also by Jen Ramos. Finally, the woman with the flowers is by </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/98199240/eve-print?ref=usr_faveitems" style="font-size: x-large;">Susan Brown</a><span style="font-size: large;">. Savannah initially thought she looked mean, but I told her that the woman looks fierce 'cause she is rocking that crazy flower bouquet on her head!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this antique mirror at a local interiors shop.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The lamp was originally purchased on Ebay for Madeline's nursery, but really didn't work with the wood tones of her chest. So, in an effort to find a home for the lamp, I stuck it in Savannah's room and it worked. I love the juxtaposition between the modern lamp and the ornate chest.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe my last post was back in March. So what have I been up to? Just spending some time with my sweet baby girls. We celebrated Easter, went to the beach, attended Savannah's first dance recital, and enjoyed the outdoors!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now that you've seen Madeline's nursery (click <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-house-tour-madelines-nursery.html">here</a> if you missed it yesterday), let's get to all the details of this design.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">#1 - Inspiration</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me just say this isn't your typical nursery. The starting point for this room was the <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/08/madelines-nursery-part-1.html">Chinese Art Deco rug</a> we inherited from my husband's grandmother. This rug had been in storage for several years and the only place I could really use it was in the nursery.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhniUilbPC5zcHfr25IJR2YFAM0s6eaqXtXeuyD9ucdAgECucGvoo2uT3w9ZkQaUqOVUWbb9pmh4E5rrZ2IUz79l9wBfUxiTO7Rijp_XZIEg5KYTR8gCCPYyHx94_EUMPZCfQZC8z8ApbKS/s1600/DSC04295.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhniUilbPC5zcHfr25IJR2YFAM0s6eaqXtXeuyD9ucdAgECucGvoo2uT3w9ZkQaUqOVUWbb9pmh4E5rrZ2IUz79l9wBfUxiTO7Rijp_XZIEg5KYTR8gCCPYyHx94_EUMPZCfQZC8z8ApbKS/s640/DSC04295.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">#2 - Wall Color</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I liked the pastel wall color in this <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/08/madelines-nursery-part-1.html">Tyler Dawson room</a>, so I chose <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2012/09/madelines-nursery-part-2.html">Benjamin Moore's Rose Silk</a> for the nursery walls. It's a light pink that's in the same color family as the red in the rug.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'm excited to share a project of my own, the gallery wall I hung in my daughter Madeline's nursery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are several reasons why I'm a big fan of the gallery wall:</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">- If you can't afford or don't want to commit to a large piece of artwork, a gallery wall of smaller pieces is a good solution</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">- You can incorporate lots of different things into a gallery wall: photographs, paintings, objects, silhouettes, postcards, really anything that you can hang on the wall</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">-The frames don't have to be expensive, the same size or match, which means you can buy them as you go and you don't have to spend lots of money up front</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">-You can easily update the wall and change the feeling of the room by adding or swapping out the art</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">- You can add to the wall over time, allowing you to collect things you love</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Since most of the pieces are relatively small, they can be easily moved to another spot if you decide to change up your gallery wall</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">But gallery walls can be intimidating, so I'm gonna share some tips to help you create your own gallery wall. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><strong>Selecting Art and Frames</strong></u></span></div>
<div align="center">
<u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Variety and unity are the two keys here. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">The art on my gallery wall features a<strong> <em><u>variety</u></em></strong> of subjects, mediums, and sizes. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Subjects include abstracts, florals, and an elephant. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Mediums are photography, watercolor painting, oil painting, fine art prints and magic marker. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Sizes range from 5x7 to 24x27. Notice the pieces are framed with and without mats. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em><u>Unity</u></em></strong> is achieved through the repetition of colors. The art is composed of a pink and green color palette that visually links all the pieces together. I started with the largest piece of art from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?q=kerry%20steele&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US&ref=auto3">Kerry Steele</a> and chose the rest to coordinate with it. Although the frames are all different, the repetition of gold frames and white frames creates a cohesive grouping. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64m3XPQFsRiXtiP3cLG6dDrlDZpTR2x5_f9p_wVZ-Fdtk_8xyN2ASi8sX7K2fG1ynAWuwoFSFLaeYLehxyPwXfOUDpVTQwhG7dlGUFe9l3-kV4IrnJvtt9In63sobNwYFltRDLG_CXs7g/s1600/DSC03857.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64m3XPQFsRiXtiP3cLG6dDrlDZpTR2x5_f9p_wVZ-Fdtk_8xyN2ASi8sX7K2fG1ynAWuwoFSFLaeYLehxyPwXfOUDpVTQwhG7dlGUFe9l3-kV4IrnJvtt9In63sobNwYFltRDLG_CXs7g/s640/DSC03857.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Arranging the Art</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There aren't really any rules to arranging the art, just play with it until you come up with an arrangement that pleases you. I laid all the art on the floor and took photos of the different arrangements to help me decide on the best one. The photo is also a good reference for placement when you begin to hang the art on the wall. </span></div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Hanging the Art</span></u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The best way to get the art hung on the wall is to make templates from paper. These templates will allow you to play with the arrangement on the wall before you drive in any nails. You can use any type of paper to make a template. I used the paper that the store wrapped around my frames (only problem here was that it was a little crumpled). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Trace your frame size onto the paper and cut it out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, you want to mark the location of the picture hangers on your template. Flip the frame over and line up the paper with the frame.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Use a sharpie to mark the location of the hanger so you will know where to place your nail.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Label each of your templates so that they won't get mixed up if you decide to move them around on the wall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now you are ready to transfer the templates to the wall. Refer back to your photograph of your arrangement to help you. Tape each template to the wall and adjust to get the correct placement.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When you are happy with the arrangement, you're ready to hang. Using the mark denoting the location of the picture hanger, drive in your nail through the template.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hang your art on top of the template. This way if you decide that a piece should be moved after all of them are hung, you can easily take it down and move the template to help you re-hang the piece. Once you decide all the pieces are in the correct locations, you can then tear the template out from under the art without removing the art from the wall.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first looked at this house, I saw the potential in this kitchen. For a house built in 1969, the kitchen was large and had a good layout with lots of storage and counter space. I also loved the built in double ovens and the large double windows over the sink. The things I didn't love: the dark cabinetry, awful wallpaper backsplash and border, and the track lighting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So let's talk about my design decisions.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#1 - Design Direction</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You gotta work with what you've got. The detailing on the cabinet doors had a country feel to me, so I embraced this and designed around it. I also had the farm table from our previous home and it was the perfect size to use as an island. The deal was sealed when I saw these <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-kitchen-style-is.html">inspiration kitchens</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#2 - Painted Cabinets</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The kitchen was just too dark, so one way to lighten it up and change the whole feel of the space was to paint the cabinets. White was my first choice to help brighten the space, but I felt that painting all of the cabinets white might be a bit boring. I also had to deal with the mismatched appliances (notice that the refrigerator is white, while the dishwasher and ovens are black). If I painted the bottom cabinets white, the black appliances would have stuck out like a sore thumb. That's when I decided to paint the upper cabinets white (Benjamin Moore's Vanilla Milkshake) and the lower cabinets a dark blue/gray (Benjamin Moore's Ocean Floor). This way the upper cabinets would reflect the light and the lower cabinets would camouflage the black appliances. Also, since I didn't have the money to replace the existing white Formica countertops, the white cabinets help tie them into the color scheme.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">#3 - New Hardware</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Updating cabinet hardware is one of the easiest ways to make your cabinetry look like new. I chose pewter colored hardware because I liked how it blended with the dark blue/gray cabinets.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#4 - Glass Panel Cabinet Doors</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The expanse of upper cabinets made the kitchen seem closed in, so I replaced the wooden door panels of the cabinets flanking the sink with seeded glass. This helps open up the space a bit and allows me to show off pretty dishes. I lined the backs of these cabinets with beadboard painted to match the lower cabinets.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The molding at the top of the cabinets was a little wimpy, so we added some thicker molding to give the soffit a little more interest.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">#7 - New Lighting</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't live with the track lighting, so I ripped it down and replaced it with a pretty chandelier. Although the room has two large windows, they look out onto the screened in porch making the kitchen pretty dark. So I added some recessed lights with halogen bulbs. The trick was to place them close to the upper cabinets so that the light would bounce off the white cabinets and fill up the room. I can see everything now!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">#8 - Patterned Tile Backsplash</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the design element that really defines the kitchen. I wanted reclaimed tile from Chateau Domingue, but since that wasn't in my budget, I sourced some terra cotta tiles that had an old world feel. They are handpainted, so no two are alike and each one is a little different in size. They also have a crackle glaze on top which gives them an aged look. You can find more info on them <a href="http://www.meaningfulhome.blogspot.com/2011/06/exotic-tile.html">here</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Art and accessories are always the finishing touches that bring a space to life. Since I didn't have any wallspace, I hung my art in an unconventional place, the middle of my windows. Earthenware bowls, wooden utensils, cutting boards, an antique coffee grinder and an industrial stool add personality to the room.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My kitchen is not a newly finished project (I actually completed it in 2008) but it was finally clean long enough for me to snap some photos. Actually, the hubs interrupted my little photo session to ask if he could make a sandwich for lunch.

<span style="font-size: large;">Think art has no place in the kitchen? Think art in the kitchen should only be still lives of fruit? Think art can only hang on the wall? Think again. Here are a few ideas to spice up the art in your kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No subject is out of place in the kitchen. Portraits, modern art, utilitarian art can all make themselves at home here.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">... country. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I never would have thought that this would be the case, but when I was looking for a design direction for my kitchen makeover, I kept thinking about these two country kitchen designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first was this kitchen by Hilary Musser. I couldn't get those blue/gray cabinets out of my mind and I was convinced that mine needed to be painted this color. I also loved the wood tones of the massive island.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next design is by Shannon Bowers. I was drawn to the patterned back splash tile and the worn farm table in the center of the room.</span></div>
