The Bathroom Reveal – A Better Homes and Gardens Makeover

September 13, 2011 By Momstart 19 Comments

I had so much fun decorating the bathroom. Choosing all Better Homes and Gardens products was harder than I thought it would be because the products are priced so low. I had a terrible time picking out enough to spend the amount I was allotted because every time I added something I still had more to spend.

Well, I finally picked out everything and took the pictures this morning. Remember the Before?

Now here is the After:

I took your advice:

Mrs. Cox Said,

If you use your bathroom to unwind and relax, start incorporating more spa/zen like colors and textures. If it’s purely for getting ready – then add more functional pieces; a shelf over your toilet for more space, update the fixtures and linens, maybe add a little artwork to a wall.

So I added some artwork where the toilet is, above my sink, and two of the the Better Homes and Gardens three lengthwise mirrors above the towel rack. I also added the Better Homes and Gardens red curtain above my bathtub and a lengthwise bath mat for when I get out of the tub.

Robyn Wright of RobynsOnlineWorld.com Said,

I love the wall color you have. You need something in your shower to hold all your shampoo bottles and stuff

So I added the Better Homes and Gardens shower organizer. I love how it has four adjustable shelves. We kept the color and I added a few Better Homes and Gardens bath towels, and on the bath tub I also changed out my candles and added the Better Homes and Gardens Black candle holders.

I love the color red so I kept that color and just got more of it. I organized the toilet room with a black Better Homes and Gardens shelf that my husband put together with the kids. It’s really nice to have a newly decorated bathroom and to actually have somewhere to put everything. New houses just don’t come with very much storage space. I might one day have to build my own shelves above the black shelf because there is quite a bit of unused space there.

Thank you Better Homes and Gardens for selecting us to participate in this fun and very well priced bathroom face lift. You can visit the Better Homes & Gardens Live Better Facebook Page to see photos from other bloggers showing off their before & after bathroom makeovers on a budget. You can even submit a photo of your own bathroom to enter to win a $200 Better Homes & Gardens Bathroom Makeover on a Budget.

We were provided with all of the supplies needed.

Better Homes & Garden Bathroom Makeover…I Need Design Help

September 1, 2011 By Momstart 23 Comments

My bathroom has been boring and plain since the day I moved in. How long ago was that, we moved into this house almost two years ago and I still haven’t really decorated any of the house very much at all. In my bathroom the only decorating I’ve done was a few candles here and there. Take a look for yourself and let me know if you too think I should have a Bathroom Makeover????

So what do you think? Boring?

What should I do, how should I liven it up? I just don’t know what to do. Should I use more color in the towels, how should I organize everything? Better Homes & Gardens has quite a few cute décor items to choose from.

I also put together this video just to make sure you got the full 360 degree look at how plain my bathroom is and how terrible my home design skills are.

We will receive products from Better Homes & Gardens to update our boring bathroom.

Better Homes and Gardens Bakeware Set Giveaway

August 13, 2011 By Momstart 1,024 Comments

I won The Better Homes and Gardens State Cookie Contest! Thank you all for so many votes. If it wasn’t for all of you voting for me everyday I wouldn’t have won. I really appreciate it and can’t wait to get my new bake ware set, and did you know that as the winner, I get to give a set away here on MomStart too! So listening to my annoying requests everyday on Facebook and Twitter paid off.

This is the cookie sheet and cookie that helped me win this competition.

I didn’t actually use the pan until after I baked the cookies, since the contest required me to use the pan in the picture I wanted a spanky clean new pan for the photo. Since then, I have used the pan twice and honestly, it looks better than I thought it would. It still looks new. My husband and I seem to be really hard on cookie sheets, or at least I thought we were. Turns out, after talking to my neighbors a really good cookie sheet is hard to come by. Some of my neighbors are using foil over their pan now.

If that’s you, this is the contest for you:

This bakeware set is dishwasher safe and nonstick. But it does say for longer use do not put in the dishwasher. Ah huh, that’s my problem with cookies sheets. We ALWAYS put them in the dishwasher. I would love to see how the Better Home and Gardens Bake Wear holds up over the years.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Heather H.

All rules can be found under giveaway rules. We received free samples.

Which Photo Is the Best Picnic Photo?

April 2, 2011 By Momstart 17 Comments

I’m going to enter another photo contest on Facebook and I’m not sure which photo to pick. I wasn’t given any rules other than to use the supplies that were sent to me on behalf of Walmart and Better Homes and Gardens. So with kids or without? With Food or without?

I also have to let you know that it’s been raining cats and dogs for two weeks so we had to have our picnic indoors.

What would you vote for???
