Halloween is a little more than 2 weeks away! Now Halloween is a little more than 2 weeks away! Now that the kids are older, I don’t really decorate for Halloween other than carved pumpkins. We are really just waiting for Christmas! We usually decorate the day after Halloween. 

It’s a fun time of year! We just had 🇨🇦Thanksgiving, Halloween is coming up, and then Christmas soon after. 

I still love the holidays so much but I don’t go hard with decorating like I used to. I love making my home cozy and inviting and spending more time just being in the moment.

This month marks the 10 year anniversary of my hou This month marks the 10 year anniversary of my house!!! 

When I moved in, I went through a big renovation especially on the main floor. Walls were removed, kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were completely gutted. 

What was really important to me was the flooring and that it looked good but also lasted, didn’t show a lot of dirt, and looked like real wood. 

I picked engineered hardwood flooring as it’s something I had in my previous house and loved it. It’s more expensive than laminate, I will say, but these floors are easily going to last another decade. 

I’m sharing all the details on the blog along with pros and cons and close-up photos.

If you’ve ever struggled with if you should make If you’ve ever struggled with if you should makeover an antique, here is some help. 

In 2012, a friend of mine bought a house and this gorgeous armoire was in the basement and she gave it to me. It’s from Belgium late 1800s. It comes in 10 pieces and fits together like a jigsaw puzzle with no screws or nails of any sort. I gratefully accepted this gift! But I didn’t like the orange stain. 

A few years later I finally undertook the enormous job of sanding it all down and adding a white furniture wax to lighting it up (it’s lighter than shown in this photo). I’ve never regretted it a single day. 

This might help you if you are struggling:

Don’t Makeover If:

- the furniture piece is appraised at a high value as is

Do Makeover If:

- the only thing holding you back is feeling guilt over sanding/staining the wood 
- the only thing holding you back is knowing how much you paid for it X years ago (it doesn’t matter anymore, all furniture can be expensive and that was then, this is now!)
- you’re tired of the finish and want to get rid of the piece of furniture

It’s your home and you can do what you want with it. And you’ll never know if you don’t try. 🏡.
