My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Yesterday I unveiled our master bedroom makeover! My favorite part of the room is definitely our accent wall. I found these 4x8ft sheets of this cedar MDF wall paneling for only $14.96 per sheet. This paneling had the exact look I was going for: whitewashed wood with neutral tones of white, gray and tan. So first [...]
Yay! It’s finally time to reveal my master bedroom makeover! I’ve been talking about this post for quite some time, so it’s so exciting to finally share my transformation photos with you (and get ready, there’s a lot!). And if you don’t remember, here’s the before… I was looking to make our bedroom a little [...]
Well I just realized that I haven’t shown you my craft room in awhile. I think the last thing you saw was my stenciled yellow wall back in November and a couple of minor projects here and there. So, why haven’t you seen much from this room? Probably cause I hate it. Ok, ok… hate [...]
I got some new curtain panels from Pier 1 Imports this past week. The peacock blue were just a little too drastic, even for my taste! I still have a plan for the old curtains (thinking maybe my home office), but I needed something more neutral for our living room/dining room. So what do ya [...]
Yep, I’m giving my great room a mini-makeover. I needed to paint: something lighter, brighter and desaturated since I’m starting to add a lot more COLOR in the room. Whelp… Hee, hee. Can you tell I’m excited? This is a WORK IN PROGRESS, but I couldn’t wait to show you the difference a coat of [...]
So today I’m getting the interior of my house painted! And yes, I’m having someone else do the job. While I could easily do it myself (and I did the last time), I work a full time job, plus have a kid, husband, dog, cook, clean, and tend to mounds of laundry (oh, and blogging [...]
WOW, what a year! I went “live” with this little blog back on May 23rd as a way to record my DIY projects while my hubby was off working nights and weekends. I could have never dreamed that 7 months later I would have over 700 Facebook followers and a daily average of about 5,000 [...]
So I’ve been slowly transforming our old playroom into a home office/craft room. Here’s what it looked like before… Toys everywhere, a large dresser filled with off-season clothes, outdated drapes and chair rail border… yeah, desperately in need of a makeover. The first step in transforming my new space: painting the walls yellow! I chose [...]
OK, so I’m actually making some progress on my home office / {someday} craft room! I bought some paint today from Lowe’s and started the makeover. Here’s a shot of the before when it was a playroom… We had the futon couch for my sister to crash on when she visited from Chicago, plus a [...]
As you all know, I’m trying to “nest for less” by revamping my house on a budget. Last week I got a new kitchen stone backsplash for around $350 in materials and I’m in LOVE. Now to continue with my kitchen transformation we’ve added crown molding to the top of the cabinets. We just had plain [...]
