Friday Five

-
Another work week down.  You got anything fun planned for the weekend?  It's supposed to warm up here to 70 so we'll see.  The weather has been crazy...40 one day and 70 the next.

There are a lot of pretty things that have caught my eye this week.

1) This girl's bedroom is beautiful!  I love the pink and white stripes.  My daughter would absolutely love it but I know hubby ain't painting her room again anytime soon.

 

2) Target is stepping their pouf game up this season.  I've been peeping these Threshold Lattice ones.  I love me a graphic print.


3) I'm still searching for dining chairs and came across these from Overstock.  I like the tufting and neutral color.

 

4) West Elm has their coffee and side tables on sale for 20% off right now.  I've been drawn to this style for a while.  It's a simple box with a mix of metal and wood.  Very classic but modern all in one.  Even on sale I feel like the price is still too high for me to pull the trigger.  I've seen several DIY versions just as nice.  We probably won't have a hard coffee table for a while though with two small ones running around.  I'd be fearful of someone bumping their head.


This little guy would be perfect for a corner or under a console table.


5) Jen over at I Heart Organizing is re-organizing doing her office.  She has done away with a dark accent wall and removed some of the busyness that was going on.  The room is already brighter and looks more open.  Makes me want to get my own office done yesterday.

  

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Wall Mounted TV and Hiding The Cords

-

We mounted the loft TV on the wall last week.  We knew we didn't want those ugly cords connected to the TV to be seen.  I had done a few searches to see what our options were for hiding them.  Turns out, there are several.  My least favorite was the cord cover and I knew that wasn't going to work for me. Here are the pieces we bought from Home Depot.  They are wall plates that allow you to pull the cords through but keep them hidden in the wall. After we figured out where we wanted the holes, using the template in the package, we cut a hole right under the TV mount for the cords coming from the TV.  It made me a little nervous cutting a hole in the wall.  The cords also needed a place to exit at the bottom.  We cut the second hole straight down from the top one, right next to the outlet where the cords would be plugged in. To make it easier to get the dropped cords, we installed the top plate first.  It just goes into the hole and the screws tighten it against

Gray Bathroom Cabinets

From the start, I wanted all the bathroom cabinets to be dark like the master bathroom .  I began my usual search online for more ideas. As I was searching, I came across bathrooms with gray cabinets.  I must say, I love the look. I have seen plenty of gray kitchens but never thought to have the bathroom cabinets gray as well. source   source source   I'm a little torn now.  I like the gray cabinets but with all things, my tastes change, so not sure if I would still like them in a couple years.  If I go this route, it would totally throw a curve into the plan since the walls are already painted.  Gray walls and cabinets would be overload. What do you think about gray cabinets?  Are your cabinets a color you don't see often?

Installing Ikea Lack Shelves

I have wanted built-ins somewhere in my home for forever. They look so classic and they are extra spot to house beautiful home decor pieces. I have seen many a hack for turning the Ikea Billy bookcase into built-ins but I kept debating whether I was up for the challenge. Were built-ins too much for me? In my head I wanted something simpler too.  In my searches for DIY built-ins I kept coming across floating shelves. I love the modernness of them. The clean lines. The way they just seem to be coming out of the wall. There were times where I would browse Homegoods and Target seeing all the pretty things I could put on shelves. Alright done. Floating shelves it was. Once I decided on floating shelves, the debate was whether I wanted to build them or just buy them. Building them meant I could make them the exact size I wanted them to be. Buying them meant I would have to just settle for the size they came in. My wall is 90 inches wide and the shelves are only about 75 inches wide so I
