Making Your Home Sing Monday September 5, 2011

 Making Your Home Sing! Monday is hosted by Mom's The Word I love to hear

I haven't participated in this meme for a while but it seems I picked a good week to start again :-)  I purchased a 4 pack of vinyl decals. I thought I ordered them from Collections Etc. but I can't find a picture on their site.

"Home is where your story begins" - this one is over the doorway between the living room & kitchen, you can see it as soon as you walk in the front door.

"A family is a little world that is created by love"- above my kitchen sink window

"When I count my blessings I count you twice" - on the inside of my sons door :-) He's too young to read but I like it there anyway.

"We may not have it all together but together we have it all" - I had trouble placing this one. I finally put it over our bed & it's the last thing I see before I get into bed every night.

I took a toothbrush to my bathroom grout yesterday. About a month ago I told hubby it was starting to bug me that it looked so grubby; I asked how I could clean it he said re-grouting would be best. Yesterday it finally got to me. I started with a Mr Clean eraser which worked pretty good but it made little lumps as it disintegrated. Then I put some vinegar  baking powder in a cup & went to town with my (old) toothbrush. 

This is a perfect example of how thankless being a housewife is & how not to clean for other people. The only reason hubby noticed is cause he happened to come up as I was doing the last 2 tiles. While he was teasing me I got to tease him since we redid his bathroom a few weeks before we did mine so his grout is older :-P Is anyone going to come over & say "wow, look at your grout!" no, but I don't care, it looks good to me!

I got a few house things last week...

My new shower curtain. (now I new different curtains LOL)

 

This toilet paper holder is in hubby's bathroom -

The lazy suan I'm still iffy about. It's on my table but it's a little darker looking in person & it's putting a curve on my napkins.

Bleh, I'm a little behind. Last Monday I began to fallify my house. This is a word I made up for fall decorating. I had my new pumpkin candle burning while I changed my outdoor flag, bathroom carpets, tablecloth, oven mitts & all my towels. Fall is my favorite season & I probably have more fall themed stuff than any other.

Tomorrow I'm planning to make some apple things. So far on my list is Apple Spice bread, I'll add the recipe some other time. I'm thinking of applesauce too, we'll see. When I went shopping Friday I misread the supermarket flyer & thought the bags of apples were 99 cents so I grabbed one. They were actually 99 cents a pound so thank goodness I only grabbed one bag that was close to 7 pounds.

Besides the basic tidying...today I made my house sing by boxing up some knick knacks & books which I'll be dropping off at the Salvation Army tomorrow, maybe they can make someone else's house sing by having them.
