Farmhouse Bench Makeover

I decided to change up our dining room a bit by adding this cute farmhouse bench from our deck.. with our Canadian winters and snow and space at a limit for outdoor furniture storage... I decided what a better way than to use my little bench instead of just storing it away.. so here is how it all turned out!! ;)

Using oars as wall decor

It all started with a great garage sale find a few months back.. I found these 2 oars at a street sale for $5 for the pair!! I knew I wanted another one to complete our family room wall and the other was used in our sons nursery. See how they look now by clicking below.

   

Our Spring Mantel

As always I kept our Mantel neutral with lots natural elements. As I said in our Dining Room reveal.. Our theme this Spring is all about Bunnies.. Our daughter just loves them!

Basement Flooring gets installed

The next thing to go in our basement was the flooring.. This was one of the hardest decisions we had to make during this renovation. It's such a permanent fixture, and an expensive one! We wanted to have a cozy basement but we also have a walkout basement open to the backyard and pool. We knew we wanted an easy, low maintenance material for the entrance and hallway to the bathroom, as kids know no limits when it comes to wet bathing suits and having to use the loo. We finally decided on Coronet Opus II in Scenic Grey for our Rec. room, playroom, bedroom and gym. And non slip, easy maintenance Beaulieu Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring in Elmira Oak for french door entry, bar area and hallway.
