Happy Friday!

Thank you, Jerome's Furniture in Corona for my Christmas present.  I love it!

Our old couch had HAD it.  It was leather and one little split turned into a shredded mess.  I forgot to take pics before it went to the dump. :(  Used to have to sweep pieces of leather up twice daily.  So annoying.

To give you some perspective of our formal living room a couple years ago...

Blah!  That's the table I used to make my ottoman, btw.

And today...


 Color! Texture! Yay!

And the family room now...


Got the blinds a few months ago.  They sure beat the off-white ones from 1992...

We got the lamp for this room the next day:


It's a fillable jar so we're gonna start collecting stuff at the beach to put inside. :)

That's all for now!  Someday I'll remember to take pics of our master bath to share.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy December to y'all!    ******SEE UPDATE VIDEO BELOW******

Daniel finished the counter top to our "coffee bar" and I'm so excited about it!  Especially because we've been living with a piece of plywood for our counter top for at least 6 months...

Wood-look tile

I'm in love!!!  We got the tiles at Home Depot and they're only $1.49 each.  It's about $16 for a box which is all we needed for this one counter top.  The edge tiles are from the sheets (like below) they make for back splashes and stuff.  Those are more like $5 each but we only needed 2.  
  I couldn't find ours on the website but you get what I'm talking about from the above pic.  

I can't wait for the rest to be done!  We're in that mode now, so we'll continue to work on the counters.  Our goal is to be done with all of them by Christmas since everyone will be coming to our place.  

Have a wonderful week guys!

UPDATE VIDEO All the countertops are done, just waiting for the back splash now:
