We have lived in our house for 11 years, and I have not changed very much in the house nor decorated that much. I have gotten to the point that I want to start to make my house look better and have some sense of what I want to do. Most of the interior of the house has been repainted except for the bathrooms, the small hallway that connects the bedrooms, and the master bedroom.
I now have a real itch to paint the bathrooms and apply the mirror frame tutorial from Impatiently Praying for Patience to the mirror in the bathrooms. It looks really cool even though it may not be easy. I was wondering at first if I would be able to do it because the mirror in the master bathroom is so close to the wall, but then I realized that the frame is actually applied to the mirror. I would not mind a smaller mirror with a bolder impact. We actually already own a miter box, and I know how to use it from when we finished the basement. I don't want to spend a great deal of money or put up with taking the old mirror down, looking for a whole new mirror that would fit the space, fixing the holes in the wall, etc. So, adding to the old mirror sounds like a wonderful solution!

Decluttering
For me, the significance of being able to park in the garage is huge. It represents hard work that has paid off. I keep seeing a few ideas on Pinterest that have really interested me. One is from The Family Handyman that shows a way to store bins on the ceiling of the garage. This idea appeals to me because we have a really tall ceiling in our garage and with two bigger vehicles, we need to minimize the things that are on the ground on the sides of the garage.
Another idea that I have gotten from Pinterest is how to store LEGOs. We sat around one Saturday morning and organized all of our LEGOs by color, but the bins were different sizes and not easy to put back where they belong. In fact, my son has not been able to play with them since we have separated them. I want him to be able to play with them, but also put them away in an organized fashion. This is the idea that I copied from Heather J's Life. I would like to add this idea from Better Homes & Gardens and make a LEGOmobile for the LEGO plastic shoe boxes.
