How to Update a Brass Fireplace

Happy Friday, friends! I’m so happy it’s Friday! We all have today off {even my hubby, because, you know, it’s Arbor Day. Wait, you’re not all celebrating Arbor Day?!? ;) That’s another unique to Nebraska thing!} I’ve been working a little bit on our master bedroom, trying to finalize the window treatments. I just ordered […]

A Progress Update ~ Our Great Room

A Progress Update ~ Our Great Room

I thought because it’s been 2+ months since we moved into our home, it was time to share a little progress update. I’m wanting our house to be completely finished like last week, and at the same time, I know how long it takes to figure out a home, to see how you live in […]

Just a Few Projects

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! We had a pretty low key 3 days. We were going to have friends over for a BBQ, but my younger son was sick, so the four of us just hung out. And with not a whole lot on the agenda, I got to accomplish or […]

Just some randomness on a Saturday

March 10, 2012 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Happy Saturday! I know we’ve been MIA this week…This past week flew by! And I don’t feel like I got too much accomplished. Maybe it’s because the bees are back :( We have been having fires around here to try to get them out before we call the exterminator. Getting rid of bees is no […]

Fireplace Update

October 20, 2011 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Yesterday I was able to go visit our master bedroom fireplace surround that is in the works. I mentioned finalizing the style and design in this post, as well as posting a few inspirational ideas that we were using.  It still is waiting to be sanded and painted in a white lacquer, but isn’t it […]

Fireplaces

September 27, 2011 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Hope you all had a great weekend! This weekend we finalized our master bedroom fireplace surround and mantle. This is what it looked like when we bought the house.    Interesting, right?  I’ve been looking through Pinterest a ton lately, trying to find inspiration for my home, my clients’ homes, and just for pure fun!
