</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Please note that I'm making up for my lack of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">post-frequency with post-size. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This one's long...here we go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So those posts I did about my 2012 Home Goals? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">That's going to be IT for goals for this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I figure just those goals give me PLENTY to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">do for at least the next few months </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(and I've already started on some of them...YAY ME!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So maybe I'll do mid-year resolutions for </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the rest of the house later. But we'll see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anywhoooo...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One BIG project I want to take on this year </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">is re-doing our kitchen. We can't afford a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">total reno at this time, but I figure with </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">some new <span style="font-size: x-small;">(not too expensive)</span> flooring, painted </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">cabinets and some detail work, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">we can get a lot of bang for our buck. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here are some kitchens that I love...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">That blue painted hutch? To die for!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The wall color in this kitchen is exactly like mine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I like the combo of the wall color, white </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">cabinets and dark wood (or laminate flooring).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love the look of a big bowl full of limes on the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">counter, but lord, who could ever eat that </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">many limes??? And plus, counter space is not </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">plentiful in my kitchen, so no limes for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My countertops are currently occupado with mountains </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">of homework and artwork and books and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">magazines and grocery lists and receipts and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">notes from teachers and goodness knows what else. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love to see photos of picture-perfect homes, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">but lordy, where is all their STUFF??? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They obviously have housekeepers and chauffeurs and nannies. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">But I digress.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">More counter-hogging citrus. Love the TV at the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">end of the island (though my kitchen is too </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">small for that). And again with the white </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">cabinets and dark-ish floors. Love.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you want to send me a stand mixer, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I will shamelessly promote you every day. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Love these light pendants. But my ceilings are </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">really low (like you can reach up and touch them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Really...it's like a cave in there) so pendant </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">lights would be impractical. These homeowners </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Much better, yes? Of course it is...this kitchen </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">is from one of the HGTV dream homes (or idea </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">homes, I don't remember which). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Apples, not citrus. I'll stop now. But it's lovely, yes?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">what do we do with all the <strike>crap</strike> treasures </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">that are stored there (i.e. lots and lots of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">glasses, coffee mugs, wine glasses, etc.)?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We use the space under the "breakfast bar," which </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">we never use anyway, and repurpose the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">overhead cabinets that we removed to create </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">some storage under the breakfast bar like this:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We know that the cabinets are exactly the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">same length as the breakfast bar, and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">almost the same height. We can either add </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">legs to the cabinets (to make it look more </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">like a piece of furniture) or set the cabinets </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">on the floor, leaving some space above them </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">for low baskets (like she's done above). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And then finish it all off with trim, beadboard, etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It will look like it was meant to be there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Has anyone had any experience with a project like this?</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I'm just on the verge of painting </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">my kitchen cabinets </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(probably white, not green) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and I'm mentally on to the next project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wouldn't white subway </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tiles be just lovely? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you think they </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">get dirty easily? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In our last house we had </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">white tiled countertops and white tile </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">on the floor, and the grout got grungy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wonder if the same happens to backsplash tiles?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Moxie Girl website suggests involving </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">your child in the cleaning/organizing process. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a nice idea, but one that will </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">make this </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1-2 hour project into a 1-2 day project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think I'll do it myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I'd like to make some </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">changes to T's room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His closet needs a little organizing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(with a backhoe), but this </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">time around I just want to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">focus on two things: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Getting his dresser painted, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and putting up some curtains.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He's got blinds on his window, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but it needs a little dressing up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some ideas:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From Kim at Too Much Time on My Hands...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I LOVE the stick/curtain rod idea, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but may not have the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">patience to pull it off. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really like the simplicity </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of the design though, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and this is what I'm going for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And check out her vintage "fly" letters. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, these may be lofty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And some may not get done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I find that I always accomplish more when</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've set goals for myself (duh).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Especially if those goals are made in public</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> - like on this blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, here are my room-by-room goals for 2012. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This will be the first of several posts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know...just to spread out the happiness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are the big ones...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">there are lots of little ones, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I'm not going to share them all with you just yet! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#1</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">make a headboard for our master bedroom</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are so many amazing examples out there of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">bloggers who've made their own headboards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I also have this generic hotel-room artwork...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can see it above...although this is a "before"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pic of my bathroom. There's a big mirror above</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the commode now, and the generic Asian artwork</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hangs on the wall just to the right.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's OK. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it's generic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surely I can whip up something</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">interesting to replace it, right? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So...cruising through Home Goods a few months ago I came across this clock (no, that's not Home Goods in the background...that's my store room),</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, despite the lack of high ceilings in my home - and the lack of hands on the clock - I thought seven dollars was a steal and snatched it up.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The clock face is made of a pretty thin sheet of plastic and is a little dinged up. So just adding hands and calling it a day probably won't work. The idea is to distress the clock face MORE so that the dings look intentional. And maybe like wood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I'm asking you...what do you think? Should I glaze the face a little? And how does one glaze plastic anyway? Should I even bother adding hands? Should I get rid of the clock face altogether and make it into a chalkboard? What would you do?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our daughter's kindergarten teacher sent this note - entitled "Thoughts on Report Cards" - home in her backpack today:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dear Mom and Dad,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a few days, I'm going to bring home a "snapshot" of myself. This picture will be a time exposure of me that's been developing during the past months. Considering my many likes and dislikes, my mood changes from day to day, I think it's a pretty good likeness of me.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you see my snapshot, remember this is a report of someone near and dear to you. So, please don't get too uptight if you see a blemish. I hope you will accept me as I am.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Please do not picture me as being better than all the other children. Remember that all children do not learn to talk or walk at the same time, nor do they learn math and reading at the same rate. I ask you not compare me with my brother, my sister, or the kid next door. You can set realistic goals for me, but please be careful not to push me to succeed at something that is beyond my ability.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want you to understand that my report card is a picture of my school progress. When you meet with my teacher, you will learn many things about my life at school, even some things that might surprise you.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My teacher knows me as I am at school. You know how I am at home. The "real" me is somewhere in between. When these to pictures become blended with acceptance and understanding, I hope my "snapshot" will be a shining portrait.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look what I whipped up on our Christmas road trip! I love crochet because it's so fast and forgiving. I would consider myself a beginner crocheter (is 'crocheter' even a word?) and I made this hat in about an hour without a pattern. It's not perfect...but I LOVE it!</span></div>
