A Little Bit of This a Little Bit of That

This here is a very random post.  I just have a couple quick things that we have done lately that I have not shared.  What better time then now?  Am I right?

First up the fan in my art room has changed again.  We now went from this…

To this…

The white fan just fits better in this room.  The brown fan was nice, but it was too dark.

Want a side by side?  Finnnne…

I just think it fits better in this space.  This room has a lot further to go, slowly but surely were making our way.

One other quick thing I did was move the guest room around a bit, before it was looking like this…

Now here is it’s new set up…

Basically, I just added our TV stand and TV, and moved the bed to the center of the room.  I put the two stools on each side of the bed to be used as night stands.  This room now feels more balanced to me.  Eventually I would like to get a nice antique dresser to put across from the bed instead of our old TV stand, for now it works though.

So these are couple little things I wanted to share.  Thanks for reading folks!

A Few Quickies

I will start by saying when Justin goes to Lowes he comes back with all sorts of stuff.  This past weekend I woke up and this was on the table…

A new thermostat with some crazy instructions.  Before I even got outta bed(it was 7:30am), this kid was already installing a new thermostat!  Anyway our original thermostat looked like this…

Not horrible, just a little dated and it of course has a beautiful yellow stain where it has been touched a lot(yuck).

Here is the new one Justin picked out at Lowes…

It is a 7 Day Touch Screen Programmable Thermostat.  Basically, Justin wanted to get something that would allow us to program the temperature in our house according to each day of the week.  We really do not want to be cooling the house to 76 degrees when we are not here(sorry dogs).  At first we were interested in getting the new Nest thermostat that we have heard so much about, but Justin was not sure it would be compatible in our home and at $249 we didn’t wanna break the bank either.  Here is our new thermostat on the wall…

Oh and it lights up…

BOOM! Aren’t we fancy? No more burning your eyes out from turning on the lights in the middle of the night, just to change the thermostat. A little dramatic?  I think not.

Justin was not done there, oh no.  He also picked up 5 of these…

They are trim for our recessed lighting that we have in our kitchen.

This is what we started with…

They’re suppose to be white, not yellow.  As you can tell they are looking pretty rough.

Here are the new ones that Justin installed…

Don’t the lights actually look like they fit now?  The bronze also matches the fan in our living room, also the one in the hall and all of the light fixtures.  Ah, consistency.

Lastly, remember this guy?

Sorry this is the only before photo I could find of this fan. It is the fan that was in our master bedroom.  Justin decided that he liked the fan that we put in the living room so much that he got another for the bedroom…

He purchased the same exact fan as the living room, but left the light off of this one.

So now we have a nice big fan in our bedroom.  Woot woot more air flow baby!

Wanna guess where the other fan went?

Yup, in my new art room.  I am not sure if I am diggin it though.  It’s kinda dark toned to be in this room, we shall see if it stays.

Not a bad looking fan though.  I think it is better than what we had…

I don’t know at this point.  I am torn. What do you think?

So that completes Justin’s crazy day of updates.  I am pretty sure this all happened before noon.  He sure is a go getter.
