Someday, I want to remodel our hall bathroom.  We replaced the flooring several years ago and it still looks great.  I really like the large mirrors in our bathrooms, however, I like an idea that our daughter, Christi from Frugal Novice, has for the hall bathroom mirror which is to put molding all around the it.  They did that in one of their bathrooms, and it looks great!   I also want to replace the lighting above the mirror with something similar to the lightning in this picture, so I might look at Kichler lighting and other places to see where we could get the best price.  And I’d like to paint the cabinets and take down the wallpaper.  Hmmm….that’s a lot, expecially taking down the wallpaper which is on every wall.  That would require refinishing or priming the walls so we could paint them.  Whenever we do remodel, I think we’ll do it a little at a time!

Window Treatments really do add a lot to a room whether it’s wood blinds, curtains, or a combination of pretty shades with sheer curtains.  Our daughter put up some cute curtains a while back, and when I entered the room I noticed them and thought how cute they were.  We have the same window treatments that we’ve had for several years now, and I think if I ever decide to update then window treatments will be high on my list.

Our bed has a bookcase style headboard, and I’ve thought that if we ever decide to get a different headboard then I would want to get a different style. We have a memory foam mattress that we bought years ago.  It’s a really great mattress and even though we have box springs, a platform bed might work just as well and provide a new headboard.   I like the clean lines of this headboard pictured from CSN’s bedroom furniture.

If you’ve never been to CSN online, they have over 200 stores from which to choose.  I must admit I spent some time looking at their bakeware, and there are so many other categories to look at as well.  The great thing is that CSN has provided me with a gift card to give away, and the winner gets to use it on whatever they choose from any of CSN’s 200+ online stores.

Here are some examples of things I found in bakeware from Le Creuset and Rachael Ray:

It would be nice to have some new patio furniture to put out on our deck.  We used to have some but it’s worn out and long gone.  If I were going to choose some, I’d choose either a comfy chair with ottoman or a chaise lounge.  And beside it I would put a table so there would be a place to set a nice, cold glass of fresh made iced tea with lemon wedges.   Then I would choose a couple of glider rockers and another table or two.  Add in a patio dining set, and that would be really nice!

If we could afford it, I would like to have faux wood blinds on our living room windows.  We have two really huge windows side-by-side which are great because we can look out into our backyard.  We have crepe myrtle trees, cannas, and some potted plants on the deck, and it’s really pretty when everything is blooming.  But we can’t afford new blinds now, even with a 40% off sale.  Hmmm…maybe someday!

When I was growing up, if the doorbell rang then it was a typical, standard doorbell sound.  The same with our phone.  If the phone rang then it was the typical, standard ring.  Today, however, people don’t have the typical sounds anymore.  In fact, the old sounds that I grew up with are considered “retro” and are popular with some people.  Many people, however,  like  musical notification that someone is at the door or that their phone is ringing.  There’s not a “typical” doorbell or ringtone sound in today’s world.

If you’re wanting new throw pillows but don’t want to spend the money to buy new ones, then you might consider buying square pillow covers.  I found some really nice red pillow covers on sale for half price at Pottery Barn a while back.  They have a full zipper on one edge, making it easy to put them on the pillow.  It’s easy to find them online, too.  Just make sure you measure the pillow first.

Do you ever sit and wonder, “What would it be like if…”   I’m wondering what it would be like to have a separate room for a new office and have some modern furniture in there. And while I’m dreaming, wouldn’t if be nice to have a brand new computer that never crashed or had to be restarted every day, sometimes several times a day.   I think that would be really nice!

Someday, I would like to remodel our bathroom.  Our daughter has given me some great ideas!   I don’t know if we would replace the bathroom lights or not.  But it would be nice to take off all of the wall paper (there’s a lot of wall paper!) and paint/texture the walls, sand the cabinets (this would be a big job) and paint them.  I like our flooring, so that wouldn’t need to be replaced.  So…maybe someday!
