I love my Samsung Smart TV. No need for a box as all the apps are available on the tv itself. One less piece of hardware too!

Other than the dresser in the bedroom, I can't really spot any Ikea items!

Mine is totally "sentimental items" that I have cleared from other rooms (So those rooms don't look cluttered) I can't bear to part with them and can't find a home for them elsewhere so they have managed to take over my bedroom. It's terrible. I really just need to get a box and some tissue paper and just store them away!

Ive been wanting to paint my basement concrete floor blue/aqua but I haven't done a lot of research on the process yet. But I think it would look awesome.

Glad you kept the existing cabinets. They have a lot of charm.

Sarah's New Look for the New Year

My small basement laundry was partially dry-walled when I moved in 5 years ago. I would like to tackle it this year because it's so dark and depressing down there.

Challenges:

1)The previous owners stuck linoleum straight down on the concrete, no subfloor. I'm thinking of pulling it all up, cleaning and painting the concrete floor a nice colour. Maybe throw a couple of rugs down where I stand.

2) Lighting sucks. One light on a pull string and another light near the stairs. One small basement window facing north with no sunlight. Not sure how to tackle this one cheaply and easily

3) Ceiling is exposed with all the electrical, beams etc. I was hoping to avoid doing any drywall but it is pretty ugly

4) Exposed crawl space, exposed water heater, furnace. Not sure how to pretty that up.

These pictures are all my dream spaces, if only I had the money to do it!

A previous house tour (I think it was from October or November) showed a corner fireplace mantel displaying a potted plant and cactus collection. It looked pretty awesome. If I can find it on AT, I'll post again.
