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 …
