I Won Some Home Improvement Items!

October 1, 2021 by Kimberly Snyder 5 Comments

Spread the love

I recently won 2 contests!  I received some home improvement supplies!  Can you help me decide which areas of my home I should refresh ?

50 Sq ft tile, gift card and Frog Tape

I am so excited!   I recently won door prizes from two contests!   First, I won 50 sq ft of tile from Jeffrey Court as part of The Meet the Designer series this summer.   And then I won a $50 gift card from Sherwin Williams  and 4 rolls of Frog Tape from a Sherwood Williams/Frog Tape give away on Instagram!

Now I need help deciding what area of my home to refresh!

Should I use the tile and paint to redo our entryway?

The floor is poured concrete.  I am thinking I might be able to tackle placing the mosaic tiles on the floor on my own.

Or should I build a faux fireplace on the lanai?  I would love to have a mantel to decorate again! I do miss my farmhouse fireplace mantel.  Don’t you think it would look so cute on this wall ?

The gray stripe down the wall is where they took down the existing lanai when we had our lanai expanded earlier this year.  We still need to do some painting and patching on the lanai.

Maybe I should do a back splash in the kitchen?

I really don’t have much back to splash in the kitchen, do I?

I have some leftover tile from the pool project.  Maybe I could use it on the back splash and incorporate some color into the kitchen?

I really really really would like to lighten up this rock front on our home.  I think it could be painted over relatively easily.

I have tried really hard to cover up the brown rock wall with some of my planters and my parents’ old gazing globe!  But I think it needs paint to really help disguise it!

We probably won’t get started on which ever project we decide on until January.

What do you think?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Thank you so much!
