<span style="font-size: large;">Hey everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hoping your having a wonderful week and enjoying your summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever have a project or idea in your head and look forward to making it happen. With Pinterest and blogging it seems it can be never ending and so inspiring at the same time. I have wanted to give my entryway a little sprucing up but didn't want to spend a ton of money, after looking through many blogs I decided board and batten would be a good fit. Big bang for a small buck. </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;">My son in law (whom I adore) volunteered to spend a Saturday helping make my vision a reality. </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;">These are some before pics..not bad, but looking in from the living room kinda bored me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After removing all the wall decor my son in law measured the length of the wall and determined how many battens we would use. Started at one end we measured, added liquid nails and used a nail gun to reinforce them. These are going nowhere!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My wall was just over 10ft so we used the same concept with the board (I used pine) across the battens. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been awhile hasn't it? Life is just busy. We are in the last stage of our first year of homeschooling and will be so thrilled when our summer begins. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you remember the post about whether to paint my kitchen cabinets or leave the bottom a dark stain? Many of you weighed in with your opinion on this and believe it or not it was very close both ways. In the end, I decided that since I was loving the farmhouse look I would take the plunge and paint them! Yep, I went all white and couldn't be happier with the results. It has made such a difference in the look of this space and it feels so much brighter and larger. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't you just love Pinterest!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could spend so much time just looking at boards, pinning, and drooling over the most creative ideas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of those ideas is chalkboards or chalkboard walls. I believe <a href="http://missmustardseed.com/" target="_blank">Miss Mustard Seed</a> and <a href="http://furniture-ology.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Furniture-olgy </a>have some of the prettiest I have ever seen and after staring at them for awhile I decided to take the plunge and create my own. With a little help from hubby we accomplished just that and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wanna see??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok..ok..here's the tutorial </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey ya'll, hope your having a beautiful week.</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 would ask if you have seen the Target Threshold Collection but I figured you would have to be under a rock somewhere to not know about it. The colors are fabulous and their patterns are just so fun! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had all white curtains hanging in my living room but was wanting something a little more vibrant, so when I spotted these at Target and found out I could get a longer length online I wasted no time putting in my order. I love the bold pattern and the change they made to this room.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey friends!</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;">Its been way to long since I stopped in to post anything. Life has a way of doing that to us I guess. We are eagerly awaiting the birth of our first grandchild any day now and would appreciate your prayers for an easy delivery. We are beyond excited, to say the least!</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;">About a month ago I mentioned that I wanted to take the plunge and paint my cabinets white. Well, I did just that and WOW I love the difference it makes in my kitchen! It took me two days to get the uppers and the cabinets around the refrigerator. I used ASCP in Old White and yes, I waxed them 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;">After finishing I decided to take a break for a few days and recover. So here is the dilemma...After living with them for about a month I can't decide if I should leave the bottoms "as is" or go ahead and paint them all white?? I am hoping you all can help me decide. I have asked family of course and its mostly split 50/50 so what do you think?? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Am I the only person who just got on the Downton Abbey bandwagon? I can't believe I have been missing this show. It took about two episodes and I was hooked and now I am in the second season and can't wait to get my hands on the third. Good stuff!</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 wanted to share a sweet gift my cousin brought me when they came to attend my daughters baby shower. She started a RAK (random act of kindness) at the first of the year and I was one of her recipients when they came to visit. I have a love for typography so this gift was so special to me. I am always humbled when I receive and unexpected gift from someone, but this brought tears to my eyes. </span></div>

Hello friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed your weekend. We spent ours moving our daughter and her hubby to a new apartment before that baby arrives. We got them all settled in and set up (decorated). Now we wait!</div>

I wanted to share some pictures from the shower I gave at our home a few weeks ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanted to do something that didn't involve a theme so I went with colors that made me happy. </div>

Here's what I ended up with..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Am I the only one that is ready for the weekend?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week seemed a little long for me so I am ready to relax and spend some time with the family.</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 have had this project done for awhile and I am just now getting around to sharing it with you. When we moved into our new home over a year ago I knew it was just a matter of time before I pulled out the paintbrush and gave this mantel a makeover. Don't get me wrong, its a beautiful mantel but with so much stained wood in the house it seemed a little heavy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every home we have been in has always had a dark wood mantel. It was time for something different.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh yeah..so much better!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I must admit I was a little nervous painting something that was permanent instead of something I could just move out of the house if I got tired of it but the end result was well worth the risk I took. </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;">How about you, do you take risks with cabinets and mantels and "permanent pieces"?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm about to take a very big risk on a larger scale and paint my kitchen cabinets in a few weeks..deep breaths..Can't wait to share it with you!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How was your weekend?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mine was quiet but I got a chance to work around the house and that is always a plus in my book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I got my younger sons room finished I thought my older sons room needed a little refreshing. Isn't that how it goes, you start one room and that leads to another and another...well you get it. This is my college students room and truth be known he's never here so I just wanted to give it a little more warmth but still keep a masculine feel on a budget of course. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only purchases for this room were the curtains and the clock. Everything else were things I had on hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry no before pics..</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The doors lead out to a small atrium that is never used so I hung curtains to bring some warmth and pattern to the room. The old shutters I distressed with some Old White ASCP and propped behind the dresser. My son is a huge music lover and his albums fit perfect in the slats of the shutters.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that was a long vacation...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope your all having a wonderful New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though I was absent from the blog, I did keep up with several of your blogs and have enjoyed seeing so many great ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as the tree was down, I couldn't wait to get started on my first project for the new year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bedroom makeover for my boys! We've only been in our home for just over a year and never really did much to their rooms. Mainly because I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go so that just sat..and sat..until a few weeks ago.</div>

The only things I purchased was the new bedding and lamp (Target) and paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything else I had around the house. I wanted to give the room more of an industrial feel and something a little more grown up. We are both very happy with the results. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Still need to replace pictures with some black and white updated and get a new clock (it decided to stop working). I used drop cloths for the curtains and all the accessories were from around the house. Pillow covers from Pottery Barn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope some of you are still with me after that long hiatus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be sharing my older sons room update next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a blessed day!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are having a beautiful week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you still decking the halls and making your home warm and welcoming for Christmas?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done about as much as I am gonna do this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some touches in the kitchen and always enjoy creating a small cocoa/coffee station bar for my family. I don't have a large kitchen, more of a galley style, so it limits my use of space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a look at my cute little station and a few more pics of my Christmas in the Kitchen.</div>

Sorry it has taken me so long to post, I was having problems with my Picassa Albums. It seems as if I have to now pay for more space if I want pictures on my blog..ugh.. yes please. Got it taken care of and I now have plenty of space. Moving on...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am now in full mode for Christmas decorating. We left town the day after Thanksgiving and didn't return till Sunday so I didn't get my tree up till Monday. I have been digging through my boxes and decided their were some things I didn't really care to use anymore. Trying to decorate with things I use everyday and add a little color with vintage ornaments and greenery.<br />

Do you have your tree finished yet? Have you got your shopping done?<br />
I love this season, don't you? I also know that the best gift I ever received is the love and grace of my Savior Jesus Christ. That gift can't be found under a tree but it changed my life forever.<br />
<br />
Hope your having a great weekend!<br />
I will be back to share my cocoa station with you. These are so fun!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello my friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The weeks pass so quickly don't they? Cannot believe next week is Thanksgiving already..are you ready? I am looking forward to slowing down a bit and spending some time with my family. I am hosting this year and going out of town so it should be a fast and furious holiday.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have I mentioned before, that on occasion I get to decorate homes for some pretty great people. No, I am not a professional but I have a love and desire to make things more beautiful so as the Lord provides me with new clients I get the chance to transform some pretty great spaces from a house to a home. This is a work in progress because its a new home and I am doing every room from scratch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sorry I have been slow to post these days. I have been resting and recouping after the sale and my creative juju just seems to be at a stand still for now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe its the fact that I am tired and have a few new things on my plate or the anticipation of getting things ready for the holidays coming up. Either way its been nice to just relax for a week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Barn Sale of 2012 was a huge success and I heard about 2000 people made their way through the doors last weekend. It was great to see so many old faces and even greater to meet new ones. I enjoy this show every year and look forward to another great show in 2013!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(I apologize for not getting other peoples spaces photographed. I'm never sure how others feel about that so I tend to play it safe..I should have asked.)</span></div>

Well, if you have been following my last post I shared with everyone that my daughter and her sweet husband are expecting their first baby in April. We had a fun gender reveal party tonight with family and friends and WOW was it fun!! If you are expecting, I highly recommend doing this. Thanks Pinterest!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't shared this on my blog yet but wanted you all to know that in about six months I will become a HONEY (grandma)!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are extremely excited and welcome this blessing with much anticipation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to wait and make sure she passed the first trimester before sharing with everyone. We will having a gender reveal party on Friday to find out what she is having so I am preparing a cute little party for family that I will share with all of you. I would appreciate all your prayers for a healthy and safe pregnancy for my baby girl (and her hubby).</span></div>

Fall is definately in the air this evening in Texas..finally! We are expected to wake up with temps in the low 50's. That's pretty chilly for us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Last week I did a little fall decorating on the porch. I don't live in a large house or have a big porch but added a few fall touches in my small space. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you Pinterest?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think you would have to be hiding under a rock for awhile if you haven't heard of this addicting, fun and creative site. I have been inspired and awed by so many of your projects!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out my Pinterest boards <a href="http://pinterest.com/tiffboren/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my very favorite projects is this adorable<a href="http://bulbtoblossom.com/2012/05/30/vintage/door/decorative/functional/illuminating/" target="_blank"> door</a> with a light fixture and shelves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I saw this I knew I wanted this in my bedroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a door I already had in the garage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The light fixture (purchased at Lowe's) was wired for a wall mount so hubby and I had to convert it to a plug in. After talking to the guy at Lowes we decided to use a extension cord we already had (saving money). We cut it and joined the wires, covered with those small orange caps and some electrical tape and plugged it in...IT WORKED! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We drilled a small hole in the door to run the wire through and attached it to the door with some screws. That was it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(sorry no pics of the process but you get the idea..right?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is all finished..<br />

Hey friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know we just got into the fall season and decorating in everything orange and I have to go and bring up Christmas. Please don't think I'm crazy. I am preparing for the annual <a href="http://rustedgingham.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Barn Sale</a> in Gonzalez Tx on November 2 and 3. If you are local I sure hope you can make it.<br />
<br />
Here is a sampling of some of the things I have made that I will be taking with me.<br />
These heart ornaments were made from an old sack I found at an estate sale. I added lace, ribbon and vintage jewelry and stamped each one with some of my favorite words.<br />

These stockings were also made from the same sack material. I added lace, burlap rosettes and a few pearls to embellish them. Love that the material is not perfect and has many imperfections.<br />

These ornaments are a little brighter. I added some German glass glitter, a ribbon and a bell to each one.<br />

Planning ahead is a must when I'm getting ready for this show. Last year I sold out of almost everything and pray I have another great year. I hope you are all enjoying your fall days and the change of weather. It won't be long and the Christmas season will be upon us.<br />
<br />
Have a beautiful Monday!<br />
