It’s been an amazing week unveiling my master bedroom makeover! Now it’s time to reveal where I purchased a lot of my goodies (in case you were wondering!). First up is the bedroom furniture. We purchased (ok, not we… my parents got this for us as a housewarming gift!) this bedroom set from Value City [...]
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 from Lowe’s 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 [...]
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 [...]
A neighbor of mine asked me to paint a mirror for her mother’s bedroom a couple weeks ago. I have to admit, I was kinda nervous about painting this gorgeous mirror (don’t mind the dog or mess in the photo)! It’s always hard doing a project for a friend, but I wanted to help! My “client” [...]
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 my neighbor recently finished her lower level to make room for a spare bedroom (yeah, another bonus of living in the Midwest is basements are pretty much standard in every home). Since she spent a pretty penny getting carpet, bedding, etc. she wanted to reuse a pair of old tables she got from Goodwill [...]
Last week while cruising through the clearance aisle at HomeGoods, I found a gold ornate mirror for only $8. I really needed something for above my daughter’s dresser in her newly stenciled bedroom, and I thought this could be perfect with some minor embellishments! I got an idea from Elements Interiors blog last week during [...]
As seen in last week’s blog here, I finished transforming an old wooden desk into an art station for my three year old daughter. While I love the way the finished desk looks, I really needed a new chair to make it functional. Note: yeah, I just couldn’t help myself to move it into my kiddo’s [...]
Just recently I redecorated my daughter’s bedroom from its prior hot pink princess look and feel to a more serene setting with shades of blue, green and rose. As blogged here, I’ve finished most of the redesign, I now just have a couple of finishing touches. First task on my list, the accent wall that [...]
I’m currently in the process of trying to redecorate my daughter’s bedroom. It’s been a long overhaul to say the least! Before the remodel my three year old had a hot pink accent wall which really overpowered the entire room. I thought it was a good idea to paint the wall this color when I [...]
