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!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
