It's cheap and chic!

Carolyn Braden: Exposed Beams, Pinterest

I like this idea....exposed ceiling beams. With every ceiling in our house having to be re-done (we still have 4 more rooms to complete) I like the idea of keeping one exposed. I'd do it in our sitting room. Love it!

This idea was one I pinned from Kelly Wearstler.

Carolyn Braden's Retro Christmas

Why have one tree when you can have a menagerie? Here's my solution to the no fuss Christmas decor I wanted this year.

New, New, New, Tommy and Carolyn Braden: Sept. '12 House Update

Our second floor bathroom is complete! We've added a new door to the 1st floor bathroom and will begin construction on it soon.
Today we are having a new roof put on and will have some gutter work done soon.
We've really come a long way on this major home renovation project!

Carolyn Braden's Curtain Dilemma Solved With Pinterest

Our bathroom is functional after gutting and renovating it. Since we replaced a traditional tub with a claw foot tub, I had to choose a way to hang a shower curtain. After consulting a Google search and pinning all the ideas to Pinterest, I easily came to a resolution. I decided on buying two curtains and will hang them above the tub, splitting them open like regular curtains to display the tub. I chose a curtain from Amazon that has many colors. The photo is below. It is by Waverly. It gives me many options for towel colors and for artwork for the walls.
Follow me on Pinterest (carolynjbraden) to see the websites for the other photos. I especially love the ocean colored ruffle curtain. Believe it or not, it's a DIY curtain!

Our Upcoming Future: The Penny Floor

Our upstairs bathroom is almost complete. Following that project will be our downstairs bathroom. We will be installing a penny floor. It is a small space so it's not as ambitious of a project as it seems. This project photo is from http://www.designtrawler.com/2011/04/tread-softly-you-tread-on-my-dreams.html
