<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not as hard as you think:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Buy molding from your local chain hardware store, as well as, a midor box kit (which comes with a saw). Cut to your specific size and use wood glue on the corners. The most important part is predrilling nail holes to hang it because the wood will split. Then choose the artsy picture you would like to display and any corner is complete.</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-size: large;">I didn't want too much uniformity so I tried to choose a mixture of sizes, painted the frames and mattes, and even added fabric for a little interest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>First: </strong>Remove the bulbs and unattach it from the ceiling.</span></span></div>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Part of me wanted to be able to reattach it and reuse in the dining room</span> </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> but the wires weren't long enough to hang it over the table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Next:</strong> Take apart the pieces and individually sand the metal so that the spray paint can be absorbed. Then spray Rust Oleum glossy (black in this case) evenly over the entire lamp. If you hang it to paint it is much easier to get an even look all the way around. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Using one of these is really handy for no getting paint all over you hands and cheap, $3!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Also, remember that if you want the chain to match to spray it hanging and then flip and do the same for no spots.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Finding candles that fit are more difficult because the holes are smaller, but we tried shaving a bit off the end and turning them upside down since the wick was on both sides. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">It is really easy and fun!</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">All you need is a couple packs of crayons, canvas, hairdryer, and electricity.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Make sure that you hold the hairdryer at a good distance away because if you are impatient then it could start to splatter. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>First:</strong> Gather a few things:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Plastic Spoons</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Candle and Lighter</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="fullpost"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Then: </strong>Carefully hold spoons over the candle for about 10 seconds and it begins to melt, but it you do it too long then the spoons burn black. The center pieces are held with the spoon down and the outer petals are done by holding the spoon normally. After all the petals are formed hot glue it together. I spray painted mine because I used clear spoons that we had laying around.</span></span></div>

I need to time device and I feel like I should stick with the music theme...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">After the dessert stand I had confidence that it could be molded enough to look like it is melting and here is how it went:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Gather the necessities:</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span>Neutral Milk Hotel Vinyl Record</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clock mechanism (comes with hands)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New clock hands if you prefer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>First: </strong>Attaining the materials were pretty easy this time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Micah already had the record and Hobby Lobby had the time pieces for a reasonable price so this project remained fairly cheap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Next: </strong>Heat the oven to 200 degrees and begin the slow process of pulling the record gently and slowly while wearing an oven mit. Do not pull to hard because towards the end it gets very easy to tear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Finally: </strong>Attach the clock hands, add a battery and place it on the correct time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>First:</strong> Gather the necessary pieces:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">two vinyl records </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">metal parts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Easy right?! Well the records were passed down from Samuel Denton who has a love for music so there were quite a few to pick from. Elton John had a great picture and Willie Nelson seemed fitting.</span></div>
<span class="fullpost">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The metal parts were not so simple. I searched all of the craft stores and even tried to make it work with random parts that I thought might fit together from Home Depot. So plan B was in effect, find a cheap dessert stand and use those pieces and that is exactly what we did. At Home Goods there was one dessert stand to choose from which had cute cupcakes with faces, no need to say but those plates were trashed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Next: </strong>Replace the bottom plate with a record. Then do the same with the top, but then the records would be the same size so it seems like they must have used a 45 vinyl instead (but that has a wider opening so there was a dilemma). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Solution</u>: Heat the oven to 200 degrees to get the record pliable and for the five seconds that it is hot cut the record with scissors and precision. This goes on for a while, but eventually it was even and we were able to attach it to the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Finally: </strong>Turn off the oven and place desserts on stand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted a purple color that would have the same feel as the living room since that was also the color of the hallway that leads to this room. We ended up choosing Behr Orchid Kiss. It was on the border of being too pink, but I thought that it might not be bad to open up a smaller space.</span></div>

We can easily achieve three coats and the trim by the time the weekend arrives... right?</span></div>

The Denton Family came into town just for the purpose of helping me transform my house into a home and the help was very appreciated! While Meg and I were painting the stripes in the dining room and kitchen the boys (Jim and Sammy) were painting my bedroom a softer color.. sweet rhapsody! In fact, they did the ceiling white, color on the wall and even completed the trim. I did not see it until it was basically finished and was blowN away when I did. Perfect for a bedroom! Now to get the bathroom prepped for painting, but I think there are a few projects to finish first.</div>

I alway say "Who needs a ladder when there is a perfectly good counter to stand on", but it turns out that socks and a water/soap mixture on the counter can become quite slippery. In turn I "slightly" slip and bring down the towel rack that was obviously not secured very well lol. It actually was plastered into the wall so left there was a couple gaping holes.. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Jan. 17: </span><span style="font-size: small;">Well to say the least it has been slow going on the bathroom and it had not been touched until Micah bought the bathroom paint, taped the perimeter and began the first of many coats of paint. That is what the paint expert at our Home Improvement Store warned. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jan. 19: </span><span style="font-size: small;">I get home from work to see the light to a very bright bathroom beaming out the window of the back of the house, to my surprise Micah was finishing a second coat, which was great to come home to since I was feeling like things were not getting done around the house at all.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jan. 26: </span><span style="font-size: small;">This project is lingering and I would love to have two toilets that are hooked up so the last coat must be put on. I am slightly unsure about the color... it is even a little bright for me which is saying something. While I was doing this Andrew was checking on the patch and making sure that it is going to be able to paint (soon?!).</span></div>

<br />
The plan is to attach the toilet and then add a cabinet over the top of the toilet to add convienence for guests to find what they need instead of searching through the closets and under the sink.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
This will also bring a little more white into the room to hopefully balance out the stunning Macaw yellow/orange color that I have chosen. These cabinets are actually fairly cheap and I think that it will be better than adding a family portait because that is the only other option.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Mar. 28: </span><span style="font-size: small;">The walls are finally dry enough to sand and prime (we learned from the last room). Hopefully getting those patches ready to paint will not hold us back too much, but never say never - especially when it comes to handy work. I also want to undertake trying to redo that light fixture, but I do not necessarily have the experience to say it will go off without a hitch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 9:</span> Finally we get to start working on the kitchen! Even though it is late we have to get the first coat of Kilz on the pretty blue border that wraps around the ceiling, it will probably take a few coats because there are also leaves stenciled. I don't know that it was ever in style, but who knows if what I am going to do is either... probably is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 10:</span> Put the second coat of Kilz on the border since they did such a great job. And we decided to go ahead and remove the cabinet doors and handles which is more time consuming that expected, but what hasn't been. The question to replace or reuse hardware?!</span></div>

Two hours for it to dry, then sanding and painting begins. Also, thanks to Savannah for painting the pantry! We even added the pot rack today and I had pots and pans to hang on it... looks classy.</span></div>

Before Mr. Denton left, our last task was to hang the cabinets. Well it turns out that the doors had very specific spots that we did not anticipate, but this was discovered after we had already attached the handles so more work for ourselves. (At least we have a very convenient foot cabinet lol) Next time he comes we are going to shave the edges so that they doors can close properly and possibly even fix the one handle. </span></span></div>

We started in Hermitage: going to Tuesday Morning, Goodwill, and and an Antique shop but came up empty handed. Then on to Donelson to Southern Thrift which was not as nice as it used to be so that was a disappointment. Finally, we went to Green Hills to the Container Store which I have been wanting to go to since I realized it existed, and of course I bought a few things: Sink Saddle, cutting board with a built in colander, wine glass hanger, and an under cabinet paper towel holder. Good thing she was there because I might have bought one of everything. </span></span></div>

That same night we took it apart and attached a Willie Nelson record on the bottom and Elton John on top courtesy of Sam Denton. </span></span> </div>

Since we have an extra set of silverware the attempts could have been endless, but Micah managed to get both done with only one trial run. We then spray painted them to match out decor and below is the finished product, now to add a candle and a picture.</span></span></div>

The ceiling was painted along with the living room. Also, all of the wallpaper was removed thanks the recommendation of a blue product called DIF. Unfortunately it appears that there are other layers of unknown material to remove, but that will require more powerful tools than a scorer, scrapper, and elbow grease.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is getting complicated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 26</span><span style="font-size: small;">: Meg and I started and completed the striping process which took a little bit of tweeking. The original idea was to have a </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">flat and gloss of the exact same color, but it turned out that there was basically no difference when painted on the walls. Trip two to the Home Depot proved to be pointless because adding a tint changed the color to a brownish grossness. I was becoming discouraged, but as a last attempt bought a slightly darker green and as soon as we put it on the walls we knew that it was perfect. The </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">green against the white really looks better than I could have imagined.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This project began on moving day!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 4:</span> First, we took the lovely drapes down and placed them in a special area for safe keeping. Then it was down to business: taped drop cloths to the base boards, started to spackle the screw holes in the walls, and even painted a portion of the wood detail. My first home improvement!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 5:</span> The following day the ceiling was painted with Behr white ceiling paint (Thanks J</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ohnny Petersen!), as well as, the trim with Behr ultra white trim paint. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 6:</span> Sanded and touched up spackle work to prep for painting. Started on the second coat on trim.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Painting trim is tedious on its own, but to make matters more complicated it is dentil crown molding (shown below) which has basically the most grooves possible, but looks classy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 8:</span> Micah kindly finished the second coat of trim and detemined with much hesitation that the trim would need a third coat to get the crisp ultra white look. Who puts dark beige walls and light beige trim in a house?! Dull, get a personality!</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 9:</span> Finally the trim is complete and the brightness of the white burns my eyes.. perfect! The room is completely prepped for painting the walls, wish it wasn't so late because something on the walls is all we have been talking about.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 10:</span> Unfortunately, we are both working doubles today so there isn't much progress we can get done, but heroicly the Trim-Master himself (Sam Denton for those who don't know him for his reputation) shows up in his paint clothes and ready to work! With precision he cut this large room with two coats of the blue paint without using painters tape, daring. There were a lot of trips to the local Home Depot for necessities.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We got off work and he had already turned in for the night, but that paint bug was still itching at us so we stayed up and painted the first coat of blue on the walls... but the product left us feeling skeptical about the color choice. </span></div>

Luckily, Raechel Rich saved the day and picked up my morning </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">shift, which I didn't know about until I was leaving last </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">night, THANKS! Now for a productive day. Anxiously I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">painted the second coat of blue on the walls and after it </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">dried I felt very relieved. It it bright, not too dark, and it will </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">be a great canvas for the black and white accents that I am going to create.</span></div>

Not too much admiring went on since plenty more work to be done. </span></div>

Thanks for Ruth, Jean, Meg, Jim, and of course Mr. Denton himself for all the help!! On this day in the living room in particular a crucial piece was added, the tv mount. (It was purchased at Best Buy for a discounted $62 since they price matched Amazon.com - steal of a DEAL! - Thanks to Micah's iphone) </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dec. 27: </span>Let the projects begin: Today I took the brass chandelier from the dining room to repurpose into a candleabra that will hang from the ceiling by the fireplace. First, Savannah sanded all the pieces. Then, I spray painted it with two coats of Rust O'leum black satin and then glossy; watch out for the glossy paint because it has a tendency to run. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jan. 18: </span>I found a wall mounted tv wire concealer that organize cords for the tv at Home Depot for under $20. Micah painted it brillian sea blue to match the walls in the living room and without using the instructions attached it to the wall. After installation it looks sleek and really cleans up the messy look of cords. That isn't the actual stand we are using underneath the tv but it works for now</span></div>

I had bought a cheap bookshelf at target and wanted to fancy it up so that it would match the living room a bit better... by adding the shelf liner that is close to the pattern on the settee I have tied in the piece, but the hard part was finding more shelf liner that matched. Four targets later I came out with the last three rolls that I think that have in the state so I am going to use it wisely. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Also, it is purposely put to the side to add interest to a possibly drap area. Above it I plan on putting a sunburst mirror (that I have already bought the supplies for) in order to reflect some of that light from the large front window.</span><br />

So many ways to store cans. A magazine rack or used 12-pack seem the cheapest. I really want to have the one that comes out beside the fridge so that it saves cabinet and pantry space. Definitely going to measure the area and price the necessary makings. </div>
