Parade of Homes Feature






Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping by for the Parade of Homes blog hop!


House of Smith's is a fun new blog my husband, Cason and I started in order to track the cosmetic part of our families progress on our home remodel and design style, shift! As a full time stay at home Mom of three beautiful girls and running a small business from home, I have found a new appreciation for the beauty and upkeep of my house! And as each day goes by, and a new project gets done the phrase "Love the Space You're In" becomes more and more meaningful to me!


I often try to find new fun ways to update, change, and decorate our "space" on a budget. There's something to be said about finishing a great project in your home, looking back, and saying to each other... 


"WE did that !!!"


The House of Smiths blog is my way to share, inspire, and learn from our new attempts at tackling projects on our very long list of "things to do!"


At the Smith house, our motto is... "Making a house, our HOME... one space at a time!"





For my regular readers, some of this might be repeat.   But there's a lot of NEW fun projects that we have been working on, that I waited till NOW to reveal


The three spaces that I have chosen to show are:





The Laundry Room


and
Our Girly Bathroom
My third daughter, Aubrielle's, bedroom!

Here we go!










Ready more about our Laundry room transformation HERE and HERE
If you think we're done with this space... well... we're not. LOL
Just imagine walls coming down....... I'll leave you with  that thought


Additional project links for our Laundry Room...











This room still has a LONG way to go, but the progress, so far as been LOTS of fun!
I love the direction it's going.
and so does
this chick... I think :)
(Jumping on your new bed means... "I love it, Mom!"... Right?)

Read about our CRAZY up's and down's during this project HERE and HERE

Additional project links for our Baby's room

Tutorials to come SOON:
Pink pleated pillow tutorial
Headboard bench tutorial
Sheer beaded flower tutorial












Cason would KILL me if I didn't tell everyone to STOP... and LOOK UP!
This ceiling transformation was MY FAVORITE!
Cason did ALL the work on this one! with a little help from his brother and his soon to be wife!
I love to watch our "visions" come to life!
(especially when I don't have to paint with my arm straight up in the air. LOL.  Love you babe :)




This  bathroom has been BEYOND fun to transform!
I'm still working on decorating inside that little cabinet...is anything really... ever "done"??? ha!
Just for a little dramatic effect... here is a before and after... :)

    You've really added a handful of project to my "need to do" list. You have such great taste!! I love the pillows in your little girls room! The wall also looks fantastic! I had seen the wall in your bathroom, but I LOVED seeing the whole thing and the before and after shots!! They did a wonderful job with the ceiling. Who would have thought to do that, but it makes such a big difference!
    Thanks so much for the tour!

    Hey I hope you don't care if someday I copy all of your house! :) haha I really do love it. I can't get over the cuteness of the bathroom ceiling. And did you make the bench in Aubriele's room? I've been looking for one just like that for Sadie and the closest I've found so far is $99 at Ikea so if you have a good place to find on let me know.

    SHUT UP! You did not bead board your ceiling! I'm in love...LOVE I tell you...I am so going to have to do that...My husband might have to call Cason for some sympathy! We just put our house up for sale...so maybe if I give him just a little time...he'll forgive me! Aubrielle's room turned out so soft and feminine...funny now to see the befores! Love your house Shelley! You are amazing!

    Great displays girl!!! I almost jumped out of my seat with your chunky base board tutorial! I was just saying to my husband yesterday how badly I wanted to do new (BIG) base boards :)
    I'm not sure how I had never read that tutorial before, but it couldn't have been realized at a BETTER TIME!!! New stuff pops out at me every time I read! Thanks!!!

    I love your blog. I love your style and all your projects. And I really enjoyed your post about the negative comment. It's about time someone did more about it than just mention it. Your projects are always so inspiring. I'm trying to paint a kids entertainment center and I loved the color of your tin in your laundry room. Did you buy it with that blue aqua color or did u paint it? Just wondering if you have a specific color because it's perfect.

    Wow! Look at you girl. You are like famous. I am sure Jaman and I will be seeing you on HGTV soon. And I will be so lucky to know you and be able to call you my friend. You do fabulous work! Now go get studying religion, and get a job for spending all that money! Thrift stores aren't cheap you know. :) People are ridiculous. They really need to worry about their own life. Love ya! Hope all is well. I about called you when I was making Bridger his canvas blocks. I didn't have yellow or green vinyl and didn't really want to order two whole rolls for this little project. So lets just say I did a ghetto move and I painted the vinyl. Yep that is right I painted the vinyl and it still turned out cute. Ha Ha!

    My ironing board is tucked into the same place as yours, but looks sloppier without the darling holder. So I'm going to copy your great idea. I hope you don't mind.
