Key Holder Rack Makeover Makeover

I found this magnetic memo board with hooks in the trash 3 years ago and made it over in black and red to go with our then color scheme. I have shared before that I changed the entire first floor color scheme last year. Before I had a light aqua on the walls with lots of black furniture and red for a pop color. I have loved that pallet for 7 years and it was time for a change. I was wanting to switch everything to light and airy. So I painted the walls a pale gray and kept a lot of the aqua color (I can’t get that color out of my system!) and then brought in pops of yellow.

DIY Mud & Plaster Vases | Pottery Barn Inspired

Are you loving the vintage clay pottery trend as much as I am lately?I must admit at first I wasn't too sure it was worth trying. But soon I realized how easy it could be with just a few things you can find in your garage or even right outside your house.Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel happen to be two of my favorite places to find high quality decor, and occasionally I get lucky and find things on sale but these vases or vintage clay looking vases do not come cheap. Honestly though these two retail home stores are great to walk through for home decor inspiration and so I'm that person just strolling the store for all the inspo.These DIY vases were in fact inspired by Pottery Barn this time around. And I gotta say I got lucky when I found these two second hand vases, because they were exactly what I was looking for in size even though at the time I didn't know it yet. Sometimes you just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Add Heat to Your Basement With a Vent “Jersey Girl Knows Best “

So I’ve been pondering this idea about adding a vent to my exposed duct work in the basement for additional heat. The next time you have your HVAC serviced ask your technician if you can add additional vents/registers to your existing system in the basement ducts. If the answer is yes, then you’re all set to start this project! I worked on this, its complete and I already feel the warmer temperature down there! This is a great alternative to an electric heater because it was getting pretty cold 🥶 and I don’t want to forget and leave one of those heaters turned on by accident. Most of the materials you will already have at home or you can borrow or rent them. I by no means have any HVAC experience, but I am pretty handy with tools and I watch YouTube videos🛠 🧰 Are you ready?! Let’s do this!
