Master Bedroom Makeover


Master Bedroom is now complete! Our master isn't very large according to modern standards but it fits our King-sized bed comfortably and has his-and-hers closets. When we purchased our home, the master was blah. White walls, old chain plug-in light, frilly curtains.


At least these pics were taken with a nice wide angle lens. You're able to see the majority of the room here.

And looking from the opposite side.


Here's our room now from the same angle! It's looking a lot more up-to-date!


And from the door looking in...


We painted the walls with Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray  The trim is painted with Behr Silver Dust.

We installed the same 3 light fixture that's in the Guest Room. We bought it from Home Depot. It provides a lot of light and so do the windows!

Speaking of windows, Ben designed and installed our window boxes and trim. It's gorgeous painted white! I love craftsman style details and it's been fun adding them to our home.


Everything else in this room is staging! The red pillows are actually from our couch but I love the contrast with the blue bedding. They are from IKEA, but not available for purchase. We've had the red vases on our dresser for-ev-er! They're from IKEA and from what I can tell they don't carry them anymore either.

The greenery I bought on Amazon and put it in a glass jar I already had with dollar tree decorative rocks. The greenery is only $10 for 4 sticks. Which is really good even compared to Hobby Lobby at 50% off prices! The sticks are really full. I have two in this jar and two in another jar in the dining room. 

The red throw...is actually my red maxi dress! I got it at Costco! ðŸ˜œ

Isn't staging amazing?! If you're trying to make your pictures look great; think outside the box, borrow from other areas in your house, and don't spend more than you have to!

I wish I had a wide angle lens and not just my phone camera for pictures so I could show you the whole room at once rather than in snippets. When it's time for us to sell, we will most likely borrow a wide angle lens to have better pictures. I did take a panoramic though so you can see the room in its entirety!


Final question for you guys! We have removed the closet sliding doors from our closets because our children literally knocked them off and almost got crushed within the first hour of moving in. We still have the doors though. If you were looking through a home, as a buyer, would you rather have the doors on or off? Personally, I think doors off makes the room feel larger. But when you're selling it's not about what we like, it's about being appealing to the masses!

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

We've been trying to cut costs and save money ever since I got  laid off way back in 2009;  this has led me to couponing, thrift store shopping, and making homemade versions of store bought foods. Lately, my newest money saving tactic is making household cleaning products. It's simple to do and kinda fun too! I use  Happy Money Saver's recipe , but I don't shape it into tabs, even though hers look gorgeous! When I tried they didn't hold their shape, and since it's not necessary for them to work - why bother?  Here's what you need: 1 Cup Washing Soda (cleaner)  In the laundry aisle, usually on a bottom or top shelf. 1 Cup Baking Soda (cuts out grease) 3 packages unsweetened lemonade drink mix (added cleaning power, antibacterial and it smells good) 1 Cup of Kosher Salt (reduces hard water build up - you might be able to reduce this amount if you have soft water) Combine all the ingredients and mix well. I do this in a se...

Kid's Summer Movie Clubs

We're down to the last month of the school year! This is when I start looking for free or cheap, activities for the kids. Now that my youngest is 3, I think I'm ready to brave the theaters with my 4 kids in tow! 😉 There are several Summer Movie Programs showing already released children's movies, rated G or PG, for $1 per show OR LESS! One theater in our area is actually offering the kid movies for FREE! AMC Theaters This is the pricier of the bunch at $4+tax per ticket, but you not only get admission to the movie, but a kid's popcorn, drink, and fruit snack. Scroll down to the bottom of the web-page to see if your theater is participating. CineMark Theaters The 2018 program hasn't been released yet. In previous years you could purchase tickets for all 10 movies online for $5 or at the theater for $1 per show. I'll update this post once Cinemark has released their program. Kaysville Theatre Here's one ...

5 Months In....

We've been working on our debt snowball for a total of 5 months now! We've had some ups and downs but overall we are on track to have it all paid off in 15 months!!!! Here's how our debt thermometer is looking now: January : We had just started so our motivation was high! We made a list of our  essentials and non-essentials  to help keep us in check. We also went through the budget line items and brainstormed ways to cut costs more. Some ideas: get Comcast to lower our internet bill, get PMI removed, cancel 401k temporarily, change state tax withholding.  February : Tax return month! We've changed our tax withholding so we only pay like $5 a paycheck to federal tax. But we still get a decent return between federal and state. Tax returns combined with staying on track with our budget, meant we were able to put just shy of $5,000 towards the snowball!  Check your paycheck to see what your withholding level is at. If you get a large tax r...
