Our remodeling story and chance to win $50K kitchen remodel!

When we purchased our 1950's ranch style house in 2006, we knew it was in desperate need for a remodel. I'm certain we received such a good deal, because of the dated aesthetics. As soon as you walked in there was bright pink floral wallpaper that extended through the main areas of the house, pink tiled walls in the bathroom, salmon colored retro kitchen counter tops with brown linoleum flooring and our bedroom had a hunter green ceiling, wood paneling and orange curtains (Yikes!). The pink was so overwhelming that the first thing we did is rip off the dizzying wallpaper and pink tiles. We also updated the pink tile tub to a neutral colored shower.





For me, the demolition was the easy part. I love to walk into a beautiful room, but, personally, have very little design ability. I am essentially 'color blind' when it comes to decorating and have a hard time deciding what colors and patterns coordinate. Luckily, my sister-in-law is an experienced interior designer and helped us select floor tiles and paint colors. We are still a long ways from completely redoing some of the 1950's decor. The salmon kitchen counters remain, as does the wood paneling in the bedroom.


CONTEST EXPIRED. Right now, you can visit the Kraftmaid website and enter to win a $50,000 dream kitchen when you create your own inspiration board. If I win, I would be so ecstatic to finally replace the salmon colored counter tops.


Disclosure: “I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of KraftMaid. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Rue La La: Use your $20 credit for a deal on Reebok shoes!

Did you sign up for the limited time offer $20 credit from Rue La La? Reebok is a featured boutique and they have kid's tennis shoes as low as $15. Shipping is $9.95, so after the $20 credit, you only pay $4.95 for a pair of Reebok shoes!! There are several adult shoes available for $29.00 (retail $65-100), which would be less than $20 total using your credit. That's a huge savings! Hurry, because these won't last long and the sale ends Sunday.
