I love to decorate and cut corners. The rectangular pillows are actually $2 (on sale) placemats that I stuffed. The long pillow is a valance ($5 on clearance) that I stuffed.
The wainscoting is actually textured wallpaper. You can get it here. It is less expensive than wainscoting. You don't need power tools to apply it. It is paintable and only took me two hours to apply. To finish it off, I added a chair rail. You honestly can't tell that it isn't the real thing unless you touch it.
My daughters love the window seat and have spent hours playing there. Ironically, I still prefer using the kitchen counter.
Do you have any projects that you are currently working on? Please share!

I LOVE it! You are very talented. I really love the colors. IMPRESSED!
One of my favorite things to watch is HGTV! It's awesome! I don't love to decorate, because it is so dang hard for me. I just don't have the knack, but you certainly do!
You are amazing! I wish that I had half your decorative flair. Oh well...
Please...Come to my house! I'm cheap without the talent.
Come help decorate my house? Please, please, please? You are so talented, and way to think outside the box by stuffing the placemats and valance. Great idea!
Wow! You're amazing. Everything looks great. I am not really into decorating....I wish I was. I just don't have the eye for it. I don't have any channels to watch to teach me either. I hear lots of people say they love HGTV---but I've never had it. Also, I don't thrive on doing projects--they stress me out and make me cranky.
Projects!! I am always in an uncompleted stage of a project!! We just tiled our upstairs livingroom and hallway. Now I am trying to touch up baseboards and then paint. Then I will have to add something to the wall. I will find something I am sure.
Your project turned out great!!
Wow! That looks really cool. What a great trick on the wainscotting.
It looks great! You are so talented!!
I had a window seat installed in my bathroom - the neighbors complained. When I got out of jail, the police made me remove it. :(
Willy....a window seat in the bathroom? I am going to tell MOM!
Willy, we, the neighbors, were not complaining about the window seat - it was the curtains we wanted removed!!!
Just kidding - I am not even your neighbor.
Okay - I need a decor-doer because - well, I don't do it. So tell your other friends that you are busy and get over here STAT!
I could paint and redo forever...but Jeff hates my projects and we argue about what to watch...I want HGTV, he wants something less offensive like professional poker, you know, cause it's a sport and all. Maybe not, but still. Right now I think, since he hates me decorating, I am going to redo our window treatments in our bedroom... not sure, have to find the perfect fabric...then maybe I can tackle painting the upstairs or maybe finish cleaning out my closet and organizing my craft room.
