Family Room Remodel … and a $100 Amazon Giveaway!

It’s that time again …

Time to make a commitment.  Time to make a plan.  Time to pick out colors.  Time to choose fabrics. Time to open up the wallet …

 

*Sigh*

 

If only home improvement projects were free.  🙂

 

Up next on the hit list is the family room.  It’s a biggie.  And it will include a number of firsts … sewing a drop cloth slipcover for the sectional couch … hanging bead board wallpaper … figuring out how to paint around skylights in a vaulted ceiling …

 

A bit daunting, to be honest.

 

But before any fabrics are chosen or slipcovers sewn or paint is painted, I have a very important DIY project to take care of …

 

 

replacing the thermostat.

 

That thermostat exclusively controls the temperature in the family room.  A room we custom built 13 years ago.  And a room with it’s own heating and cooling system.

 

That thermostat served us well up until a few weeks ago.  Thirteen years of punching in temperature changes … up and down and up and down again … finally took it’s toll.  Now I don’t know what temperature is displayed.  Which makes setting the temperature a challenge …

 

a challenge that will certainly have a negative impact on our Peoples Gas bill.

 

Luckily, Honeywell came-a-knocking.  Offering me their new Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Voice Control.

 

 

What?  How crazy cool is that?  No more punching in numbers!   All I have to say is “Hello, thermostat” to activate and control the temperature!

 

Turns out it uses something called “advanced far-field voice-control technology” … which, in layman’s terms, means it breaks through all the noises in our house to recognize my voice commands.  From across the room!

 

Oh the fun I’m going to have …

 

I wonder if it talk’s back?  😉

 

Best of all, I can customize the display screen to coordinate with my Family Room Remodel Inspiration Board.

 

Have I mentioned that this thermostat is crazy cool?

 

Oh, and things get even better …

 

Amazon $100 Gift Card Giveaway

 

… for you!  That’s right.  Honeywell wants to give one of you a $100 Amazon gift card.  Just leave me a comment telling me what voice command you wish your thermostat could fill …

 

I’m thinking “wash the dishes” would be mine …
