They're shooting a third day just for Kitchen + Bath Makeovers, so it will be a very exciting few days!<br /><br />Just to clarify, we didn't remodel our house for the shoot. It would have been done regardless, exactly the way it is now—only maybe not quite as fast. So you can thank them for my more frequent than usual posting schedule ;)<br /><br />As you can imagine, we've been scrambling to get everything done around here. We could barely walk through our mess of a living room 2 days ago...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx3gEVUl08MaoGBxQ0pHy8dpuvmZhUnlFRpKa9PhpVUkMgqUluXlZVjMdMAsmRlWZ6DEwdhEG6xzXRgfmEzHqCRpiu1e2lDBTS0_49L-ngI2guaPjUTfEomq52JoZ4UgRG4MVJtlBvnQx/s1600/IMG_5223.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx3gEVUl08MaoGBxQ0pHy8dpuvmZhUnlFRpKa9PhpVUkMgqUluXlZVjMdMAsmRlWZ6DEwdhEG6xzXRgfmEzHqCRpiu1e2lDBTS0_49L-ngI2guaPjUTfEomq52JoZ4UgRG4MVJtlBvnQx/s1600/IMG_5223.jpg" /></a></div><br />I still have to un-decorate for fall and re-decorate for summer (since the issue will be released sometime in spring/summer 2015). But I have an amazing stylist who has been shipping Target packages to me all week (sadly, I can't keep any of them!) and it's so interesting to see their new ideas for our home. <br /><br />It's not all fun and games though... we've also been dealing with the maintenance side of things... like touching up all of our bleeding pine knots...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQt1mfmn1-LIWm1xf6YqxKikEQG7bbRR6lQo2kAZDqtI9PIYK0JJiWyE7iHzec0C_oBB_SOXG9XhcC8Z99l05WJN0MVG-RIQk4mqcllGxHz6J7LVtRruu4xgJVkAp-MTyEhHq6c5KWrXV/s1600/IMG_4205.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQt1mfmn1-LIWm1xf6YqxKikEQG7bbRR6lQo2kAZDqtI9PIYK0JJiWyE7iHzec0C_oBB_SOXG9XhcC8Z99l05WJN0MVG-RIQk4mqcllGxHz6J7LVtRruu4xgJVkAp-MTyEhHq6c5KWrXV/s1600/IMG_4205.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br />These things are pure EVIL, I tell you. It's our third attempt to cover them and this time we used the PVA primer that the painters suggested and used on our living room ceiling. We spent all night Tuesday priming and by Weds some knots were already peeking through, so I am not optimistic. I'm currently covered in dried paint after repainting the entire kitchen ceiling & wall, living room wall, foyer, and window sills last night.<br /><br />Today will be spent wiping every baseboard, removing every cobweb, dusting every crack and crevice, window cleaning, mopping, laundering... etc etc. <br /><br />The stylist arrives tomorrow and photographer on Sunday, with shooting lasting Sunday through Tuesday. This might be the most exciting thing to happen to us all year.<br /><br />I'll be back Weds or Thursday with a recap of the shoot, but I fully expect to be over-gramming the entire experience, so make sure to stalk my <a href="http://instagram.com/jennasuedesign">Instagram</a> for real time behind the scenes action! Oh, and I must wait until later to share my latest DIY furniture project... sorry for the suspense ;)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuljJWZlecsnv-kb02LatBvmMp7FxANlOfNjHb5BjBbKYL-eqzZGTn3P-26bmjFvqRBEiR2CqIGNquE35XwPKpt-UIj-6xpVlBXhRvMncG7u2yUiIR1g7Mq6HSSMvuaUJWd-Lrbj4ccOEI/s1600/Signature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuljJWZlecsnv-kb02LatBvmMp7FxANlOfNjHb5BjBbKYL-eqzZGTn3P-26bmjFvqRBEiR2CqIGNquE35XwPKpt-UIj-6xpVlBXhRvMncG7u2yUiIR1g7Mq6HSSMvuaUJWd-Lrbj4ccOEI/s1600/Signature.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />

The evolution of our living room fireplace {+ more fall decorating}

First thing's first—the winner of the framed Roman Numerals print has been chosen! Check the <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2014/10/giveaway-roman-numerals-print-custom.html">Rafflecopter box</a> to see if it was you!<br /><br /><br />Whew, I can't even explain what a relief it is to finally have this fireplace finished! It was the most daunting task on our living room to-do list (after the <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2014/09/living-room-progress-report.html">ceiling was finished</a>) and finding a tile installer ended up being a huge stressful ordeal. Between the lack of tile workers in this small town, the first guy backing out at the last minute, several insanely high quotes, and another cancelled contract due to an incorrect estimate, we were facing the reality of having to do it ourselves.<br /><br />But just in the knick of time, we found a replacement and let me tell you, hiring this job out was the best decision ever.<br /><br />Let's start back at where we left off a few weeks ago. Our handyman had installed 2x4's for cement board support:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4NPO0rgKR8-kDlfHxJsKgy7Atq8jsuM0rYNSgbwwQDZGkxoTNXcjAFqZliWRb2jm9rZojzrVz-ewLJXEYWVACGsXGwlXj7lax42wrwGZLYBVxvgP0C1yr0w23wNmq2Ls0mgnSu7pXFOz/s1600/IMG_4865.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4NPO0rgKR8-kDlfHxJsKgy7Atq8jsuM0rYNSgbwwQDZGkxoTNXcjAFqZliWRb2jm9rZojzrVz-ewLJXEYWVACGsXGwlXj7lax42wrwGZLYBVxvgP0C1yr0w23wNmq2Ls0mgnSu7pXFOz/s1600/IMG_4865.jpg" /></a></div><br />Living in the mountains now, I've embraced the cabin style (albeit in a subtle way) and at the heart of any good mountain retreat is a statement-making stone fireplace. We love the more modern look of stacked stone and were very pleased with how the <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2014/03/kitchen-chronicles-stacked-stone-bar.html">bar wall</a> in our kitchen turned out so we used the same quartz stone.<br /><br />Since the materials were on the pricey side (<a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_354393-93840-20-616_0__">$4/sq foot</a> and it took over 300 sq feet) we decided to keep the hearth simple with some <a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_446993-1813-1095283_0__?productId=4616440&Ntt=style+selections+tile&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dstyle%2Bselections%2Btile&facetInfo=">light gray porcelain tile,</a> which ended up being around just $40 total.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOWYRFbiKYS9tA-x4scAwbDTTvLnCYX6k0Lb0UD6f5bOopk446yYtTym9ozVWo0KA2djfIFXTxqsx8_vLJ8xImsip6l0dyRSFIag7MVz_s8kJL0FDaDg7Ivzb3UxDmdayzPlEvnFknguZD/s1600/IMG_4156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOWYRFbiKYS9tA-x4scAwbDTTvLnCYX6k0Lb0UD6f5bOopk446yYtTym9ozVWo0KA2djfIFXTxqsx8_vLJ8xImsip6l0dyRSFIag7MVz_s8kJL0FDaDg7Ivzb3UxDmdayzPlEvnFknguZD/s1600/IMG_4156.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />After weeks of hunting down a tile guy, he came in last Tuesday and started the prep work.

Just two plugs and it's easily put away if needed. All of the other components are in the hall closet, fortunately, so I'll just have to decorate around the TV.<br /><br />But not before I took some proper "After" shots of it, all ready for fall. I had fun grabbing whatever seasonal-ish decor I could scrounge up around the house to dress it up a bit.<br /><br />This is one of those things where you just have to be standing in front of it to really get a sense of scale and the way this changes the entire feel of the room. It truly is the heart of our home now.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26H0EDW8r2min6yp-uur-m8Q6Ho1X9J2CIYMcSB3DK5_HakuU0wKUaV9Iu8CxvoAfBoJyZicAS5JpwfwB9w04h0hYnIGQZA4ZBo45kz8TiYeeSVPcYOBbVHnnBvJPxJi2Xte02la0gHhR/s1600/IMG_5258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26H0EDW8r2min6yp-uur-m8Q6Ho1X9J2CIYMcSB3DK5_HakuU0wKUaV9Iu8CxvoAfBoJyZicAS5JpwfwB9w04h0hYnIGQZA4ZBo45kz8TiYeeSVPcYOBbVHnnBvJPxJi2Xte02la0gHhR/s1600/IMG_5258.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bYc3dcQi1pf0B52irPu2_a5xjszqAGGG_Cxh5-kOY-nkw8USWR8_JMAr0Y96ER61QFGRDP-Ec_4fhl8UW4Hrc3IjhaDzxaYo-D_K99EMxfHrPKsQJbM2eAz5pbDb9y5SKXsdkaRj2XUU/s1600/IMG_5252.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bYc3dcQi1pf0B52irPu2_a5xjszqAGGG_Cxh5-kOY-nkw8USWR8_JMAr0Y96ER61QFGRDP-Ec_4fhl8UW4Hrc3IjhaDzxaYo-D_K99EMxfHrPKsQJbM2eAz5pbDb9y5SKXsdkaRj2XUU/s1600/IMG_5252.jpg" /></a></div><br />I'm trying real hard to pretend like it's fall here, even though it was 90° yesterday.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNg-1MLecj0Dpt8BH51BaI0r4gjr4UQZNXt4mlYvh7RewSon0434UGwky_EE3haI9VxMu0bdzj6QHViHy7WjEa8Tr1nfLQSysZcWdaXzPP5aZXTCU48OdBITpDdPnUhPRL3Tkl-Rx9DTpr/s1600/IMG_5236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNg-1MLecj0Dpt8BH51BaI0r4gjr4UQZNXt4mlYvh7RewSon0434UGwky_EE3haI9VxMu0bdzj6QHViHy7WjEa8Tr1nfLQSysZcWdaXzPP5aZXTCU48OdBITpDdPnUhPRL3Tkl-Rx9DTpr/s1600/IMG_5236.jpg" /></a></div><br />We have more firewood than we know what to do with, and I'm <i>so</i> looking forward to putting this new fireplace to good use.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCadjhJCk9M4xp5Av9xikbCCRcpykMmvzgsHRfk_V_Rpw_K8b8edAxUaL405go_8n6TMbWpAG-Bc5ULTKMwq-Lxh52R7GGYJea6aLFf8Pwmw4vakXgOa3AAx6lBYJGrinvJy1PkJDnqbU7/s1600/IMG_5242-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCadjhJCk9M4xp5Av9xikbCCRcpykMmvzgsHRfk_V_Rpw_K8b8edAxUaL405go_8n6TMbWpAG-Bc5ULTKMwq-Lxh52R7GGYJea6aLFf8Pwmw4vakXgOa3AAx6lBYJGrinvJy1PkJDnqbU7/s1600/IMG_5242-2.jpg" /></a></div><br />Change is coming, soon...

DIY Wood Side Table / Subwoofer Enclosure

Today I'm sharing the easiest piece of furniture I've ever built. Seriously.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAFmMUOGKvCYTDoKpMPxSOXjslzD-7Sh3-KqC8VOCPM_ta6R-XS9YW5-2ZyJUJN4ZSAz8Dn_2w6heOdkDxezZDWlEP62_C53ekzwovPiWJldCk7aAbkE07Wo0bu3LbNTwsEfZtNsI6UAh/s1600/Graphic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAFmMUOGKvCYTDoKpMPxSOXjslzD-7Sh3-KqC8VOCPM_ta6R-XS9YW5-2ZyJUJN4ZSAz8Dn_2w6heOdkDxezZDWlEP62_C53ekzwovPiWJldCk7aAbkE07Wo0bu3LbNTwsEfZtNsI6UAh/s1600/Graphic.jpg" /></a></div><br />I'm pretty much the opposite of <a href="http://ana-white.com/">Ana White</a> when it comes to carpentry—my dad was a wood worker and apparently his skills skipped a generation—but this project? I whipped it up in just a few hours (with Brad's help) and it's absolutely perfect.<br /><br />First, let's talk about the dilemma that started everything.<br /><br />Brad decided that our living room needed to sound like a movie theater (apparently one <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2014/05/our-home-theater-room-reveal_12.html">home theater</a> isn't enough) which of course requires a big subwoofer. I have to compromise sometimes, so I let him win this battle.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZbujX8SQ1yQXR_Wd3D4HYZAxTPVGtW-IJLX_mesWs2K06FW9J8o84qz6oixpIWOqiKnrsIFl5hzN9cu2CAFKoweqY24YDRZZFLJWej0f5os1fgQZ63DxYg0g83vL7Y_MrOi9l0UN3MXyP/s1600/IMG_5194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZbujX8SQ1yQXR_Wd3D4HYZAxTPVGtW-IJLX_mesWs2K06FW9J8o84qz6oixpIWOqiKnrsIFl5hzN9cu2CAFKoweqY24YDRZZFLJWej0f5os1fgQZ63DxYg0g83vL7Y_MrOi9l0UN3MXyP/s1600/IMG_5194.jpg" /></a></div><br />But this monstrous black box just didn't fly with my design plans for the space, so I decided to make it functional by hiding it underneath a table. I couldn't find any store bought options that worked—the right size, look, and it had to be vented yet still hide this box at the same time—a pretty tall order. DIY was the only solution.<br /><br />I took to Pinterest for inspiration and fell madly in love with this photo:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/04/04/bc/0404bcf2676556f2f3a3c5266894452f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/04/04/bc/0404bcf2676556f2f3a3c5266894452f.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/152207662382061271/"><i>Pin</i></a></td></tr></tbody></table>Yep, this is the one. There were no build plans or step by step instructions (I couldn't even locate the original source) but it seemed easy enough to throw together by eye.<br /><br />A old pallet would be perfect for this job, but we were fresh out of those so I headed to Lowe's and found the most imperfect 1x3x8 and 1x4x8 boards I could find, along with a couple 2x2" stair balusters to use as my inside supports:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtDb1beDKIgswvPvT3aQ9wfRG3wt3Np-0C-oa-WmsYEX8yJLTZNGR9WiGWoEkUdgeDQFow7SvPAsLt3bBDFS6n8qCMwLUppicdihC-6B9Eopn_RLYS0d2oSJIhrjv_VjSJDRe8OhoXKEe/s1600/IMG_5152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtDb1beDKIgswvPvT3aQ9wfRG3wt3Np-0C-oa-WmsYEX8yJLTZNGR9WiGWoEkUdgeDQFow7SvPAsLt3bBDFS6n8qCMwLUppicdihC-6B9Eopn_RLYS0d2oSJIhrjv_VjSJDRe8OhoXKEe/s1600/IMG_5152.jpg" /></a></div><br />Total cost was around $30, but any old boards would work for this so if you have scraps lying around, it can be done for much cheaper (or free). I liked the idea of having random board widths instead of keeping it uniform to add to the character.<br /><br />The only other tools needed are a saw, wood glue and nails (we used our nail gun with 18 gauge finish nails).<br /><br />After measuring the sub box and adding a couple inches on each side for breathing room, I trimmed all the pieces down and grouped them into three sections—front and two sides (we left the back open to the wall where the wires came out).<br /><br />Then the fun part—distressing!

We were going to add foam underneath top to help with vibrations, but we did a test run with the bass cranked and there was zero rattling. I even put a bunch of metal stuff on the top, and nothing. The sound was nice and clear, no rattling, and it looked great—win-win! I love it when we can come up with creative solutions like this that make us both happy.<br /><br />Finally, it was time for the finishing touches. I grabbed three different stains from the garage (dark walnut, provincial and driftwood) and went over each board with different mix to give the boards a more random look:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYjMREbuGI3RvlXQqlf5VYkBpNP4EQIu26JrHUQwL2Cl8QXiht0sTKatIvNREIrJmn2oTImKpnv1AiyjaavLrans7n3pRNWsijQwSMAMbEkmUKYy32bmDf3b5ABvjj35fDFmvX8p8GdjJ/s1600/IMG_5165.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYjMREbuGI3RvlXQqlf5VYkBpNP4EQIu26JrHUQwL2Cl8QXiht0sTKatIvNREIrJmn2oTImKpnv1AiyjaavLrans7n3pRNWsijQwSMAMbEkmUKYy32bmDf3b5ABvjj35fDFmvX8p8GdjJ/s1600/IMG_5165.jpg" /></a></div><br />Then I let the stain soak in for a few days—I've found this drying time is crucial, especially if you plan to sand afterwards. Don't rush it!<br /><br />When I came back to sand it, the stain lifted so nicely and gave it that perfect bit of aged wood look (I used 80 grit paper and focused mostly on the edges).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoc43d1vY4ed7Al873IRN4KfMqc1lX6ZSKTCqME6917L8uI9JwIkbioMib39aWKoxEh3yobNKSrpufEGtytOzM3YJbgHi4KjtXf1fjpr3_S5HgDtIGceyC38tzJ65NMdbpmSmCqCe2Xs-x/s1600/IMG_5188.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoc43d1vY4ed7Al873IRN4KfMqc1lX6ZSKTCqME6917L8uI9JwIkbioMib39aWKoxEh3yobNKSrpufEGtytOzM3YJbgHi4KjtXf1fjpr3_S5HgDtIGceyC38tzJ65NMdbpmSmCqCe2Xs-x/s1600/IMG_5188.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />And here it is with the sub hiding inside.
