Media Room…The before and my inspiration for the space
Weekend Hangout at Duke Manor Farm
Hello and Happy Sunday! Wowza, what a beautiful weekend here in Northeast Georgia. Spring weather is definitely showing up and teasing us lately. Getting my hands dirty yesterday and doing some yard work was fun and I really look forward to the months of gardening ahead of us. We have started sowing some seeds indoors and will wait as long as possible before planting outside.
Project Update
We aren’t moving as fast as I want to, but definitely making progress in our media room. If you missed this project you can see the before and my inspiration for the space here.
I have most of the room painted. I went with a color called Carbon from Behr. It’s a deep charcoal almost black color. All of the boxes on the wall are finished and I really like how much dimension it gives to the two main walls.
We are currently working on installing wood on the wall where the TV will be set. The cabinet will also get some work and trimmed out. You can see my inspiration for this wall here. I will share an updated post this week on the media room and tell you what I finally decided for the floor.
Other Randomness from the week
- You know we are big fans of apple cider vinegar. My hubby drinks it and I can only tolerate the gummy version. I finally found some that won’t break the bank, especially since we go through them pretty quickly.
- Got a new glass shower door in the boy’s bathroom a few months ago and immediately sprayed this on it. Water just beads off. I am thinking it’s the same thing that you use on car windows although the packaging says shower doors.
- I was having the toughest time picking a light for the living room. If you remember, I initially put up a ceiling fan but didn’t like it for the space, even though a ceiling fan would certainly be more functional. Since I am undecided and honestly tired of thinking about it, I got this modern sputnik firework light for my closet and moved the closet light into the Living Room….for now.
- I went back on the Noom program last month. When I was on it for a few months last year, I managed to take off 10 lbs, which seems to be so difficult to do as I have gotten older. Noom basically tracks my food intake and my daily weigh-ins. I use to have the paid version ( worth it if you really need the encouragement) but canceled it after I met my goal. I just do the free version now.
- After getting hacked on Facebook and Instagram several weeks ago, I am happy to tell you that as of this morning, my accounts are back up and running as usual. Don’t forget to follow and visit me on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates from around Duke Manor Farm.
Well, I’m off to play outside for the rest of this absolutely gorgeous day. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Have a great week ahead.
