A tour from "dear mom"!

 ..Happy Saturday Everyone!

Hope this Saturday is finding you feeling energized and well!

(Now that I have a 16 year old, I am never energized or well...I am hoping that subsides soon!)
Most parents say it really doesn't...

Speaking of Parents...

The other day I stopped over at "dear mom's" house

she had just finished decorating her mantel for Fall..

~The light bulb went off and I thought...

this has to be shared with you guys because my mom has a very unique and fun style!

It's cool how everyone has their own taste...
That's what makes decorating so fun!

With "dear mom's" permission...

I snuck some shots!

...Come Along on the "dear mom" Tour!

The wall hanging is from Firelight Galleries in Virginia, MN.

The Autumn garland, my mom purchased at an estate sale..

she did say Ben Franklin carries something similar.

It also looks like she added some small pumpkins to put the finishing touches on.

I hope you enjoy the "mantel tour"....I hope my mom inspired you!
If you see her..Don't Tell Her..
(ha, ha, ha)

In all reality, I hope you have a Great Saturday!!

~Buy a mum and put it in a crate.

~Get a hay bail and set some pumpkins on it..

and

Lastly,

Put a cute pillow on our wicker furniture and there we go!

We don't have to be "super decorator"

Add caption

 I am fairly confident mine won't turn out anything like this..

But,

You Just Never Know...

I also found a fun throw back Thursday for you...

So much has changed since then!

We now have a daughter

New home

Happy Fall Y'all!

Putting the Mud in Mudroom. Come along on our mudroom tour!

Happy Wet Wednesday Everyone!

I thought since it was rainy and gloomy, let's do a gloomy & spooooky post.

You know what is spooky about our mudroom right now?

Two things:

#1. It's super clean

and

#2. It's super clean

In all reality it never ever looks this clean.

There is actually usually MUD in our MUDROOM!

but, today is different

it is clean , so come along on a Tour!

Don't kill me...

 but

 I have already put out some Halloween Decorations  because I love Halloween.

and the other great thing about Halloween decorating is..

when your house is gross, dirty, or muddy you can "pretend" that it is just decorated!

Come Along on Our  Mudroom Tour without the MUD!

 Most of you know, I love beadboard and baskets!

That pretty much sums up the mudroom!

A whole lotta beadboard & some fun baskets!

Two of the baskets were from the World Market & one is a milk crate from a rummage sale.

Then, "my dear mom", found this fun Happy Halloween banner at Herbergers!

 

QUICK SIDE NOTE"

I also put up a picture of each child above"their hook" to help them distinguish which hook to use..

unfortunately,

that is a very complicated process and we haven't quite figured it out yet!

...Maybe one day, Maybe one day

OKAY, back to the Tour at hand:

I  added a little cream pillow and black & white pumpkin to the bench for some fun!

...So, grab a hook....it doesn't have to be labeled and stay awhile!

There will be some more fun rooms to see!

BEFORE I GO,

I don't want you thinking that is how our mudroom always looks.

*This is usually the reality...

To be honest,

I really Love when it is filled with shoes and jackets, backpacks, and mud!

Hope you enjoyed my blog :)

Did I really just say table Linen?

In our house we have a dining room. Where we are supposed to all come together each night at 5:00 and enjoy a dinner made for 6. We talk about our day and tell each other how much we mean to one another. Unfortunately, we barely use it. 

You will usually see us all eating around our island or in the living room vegging out in front of the television. I truly wish we used this room more because it surely feels inviting once the table linen is down..Oh my, Did I really just say table linen? What has become of me!  

In all honestly, I wanted to share with you a couple pictures of my dining room in hopes of inspiring others who find their dining room a little drab and wanted a pick me up!

Now, my taste may be entirely different from yours and you may think mine already looks drab...to each their own right? What's good for some is not always good for others!

Here are my Dining Room Tips:

#1.  Find a table you Love. 

Now, I know everyone can't afford to go buy a new table. 

I am not telling you do that!

My suggestion would be to paint the one you ALREADY have or search online for a used one.

*My theory is that if you don't have a table you enjoy, you will never sit there.

#2. Paint the room a color that is calming and inviting to you.

I enjoy light colors and prefer things airy and open.

If your not sure what color you even like, look around at things you have bought in the past.

Is there a color that you tend to lean towards?

#3. Find the perfect Light Fixture to go over that new, improved table.

Let me make this clear. It does Not have to be expensive.

Look around for clearance light fixtures, check out rummage sales or search online.

Find what you are drawn too and look for that item at a great deal!

...I hope these tips were helpful to you!

"Springing" into Spring with some awesome Home Improvement ideas from Altobelli Peterson Construction!

Happy Magnificent Monday Everyone!
Sure Loving these warmer temps & Longer days!
I just wanted to take a few minutes
and
share some Fun Affordable Home Improvement Options with you!

 Follow me on this Home Improvement Journey

One of the Easiest and Most Affordable Home Improvements can be made with a simple can of paint!

  Painting your front Door or Purchasing a New Front Door 
 Painting or replacing a front door is a great and  "affordable" way to improve the outdoor appearance of your home without spending lots of money.

Let's look at the painting options:

This door was originally white~
By painting it turquoise
it really made the front door "POP"!

If you know you want to paint your front door, but not sure a color..
Just email a picture of your home and I can help you come up with a great color
My email is: speterson@abcironrange.com

Maybe your thinking, my door is in really bad shape..
I just need to replace the whole thing.
Here, at Altobelli Peterson, we can help you pick out a front door you will love!

You can give our shop a jingle at: 1-218-744-3350

 and 

we can help you pick out the perfect front door for you!

The following are just a few examples from the
 Renewal by Andersen line that Altobelli Peterson specializes in!

~They can be completely basic
or
 more elaborate!
Either way a new front door will add so much to a home that may need a little "extra something".

This is our front door at our home! We love it!

The Options are endless..
If you want to browse the front doors, Here is the link to Renewal by Andersen website where you can see more front entry doors!

Let's Move ON to Siding!

 Residing your Home

  Residing you home may not be the most affordable home improvement, 

but 

you will definitely see the "most bang for your buck" here!!

(Can I get a whoop, whoop?)

 Adding new siding to a house is the closest thing to having a new home

without

 having a new home.

It adds a complete new element to a home & can change the look of the house completely!!

If you are looking to replace your siding..

 please, please listen to me on this one!

..get an estimate on the our seamless steel siding!

It is a steel seamless siding & it is "built tough" and looks amazing! 

I promise it will hold up and look like brand new for Years and Years to COme!

You don't see "seams" in the siding at all.

"Seems" LIKE the best choice to me!

Moving On to GUTTERS!

  The "not so fun" improvements in my opinion

 are

 GUTTERS AND ROOFING, 

but these are THE MOST IMPORTANT 

improvements that "need to be made" for the sake of keeping your house safe 

& 

dry in this frozen tundra that we call home!

Gutters, Oh Gutters....boy do we need you! 

This wet, wet snow is going to melt and we are going to have a big mess without you!!

I HAVE ONE EXCITING FUN FACT ABOUT GUTTERS...READY?

...they come in so many colors, it truly can add a little "personal touch" to your home!

Gutters is an affordable fix to preventing water troubles in your yard this Spring!!!

Call Altobelli Peterson @ 744-3350 for a free estimate...tell them Shelby sent you :)

...Moving on TO ROOFING

...And the Ever Popular, Ever Growing in Interest Around The U.S.A is the

Metal roof...which might I say..looks just like a asphalt roof but lasts a Lifetime!!

A myth ABOUT METAL ROOFING...

Does the rain sound like "tin on the roof"? 

NO, NO, NO 

~quiet as can be & much more durable..this roof will last a life time :)

Click on this link to see what VERTEX ROOFING has available for you in metal roofing options!!!
