My Life as a DIY Wannabe
So a couple months back when I was designing my Laundry Room Makeover, I created these Mod Podge Canvas Photo Prints to hang in my space. Well, I decided to use that same concept in a new project for my daughter’s bedroom: Oversized Clothespin Photo Holders. Super easy and cheap to make! I gathered my [...]
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I’m in the process of adding some board and batten in my Great Room. Yep, we’re giving this space a little makeover with some new millwork, textiles and furniture… including this piece. I found this puppy at Goodwill a month or so ago for [...]
I’m in the process of a hallway renovation. Yep, it’s about time I spruced up this space (we’ve only lived here for 7 years, but better late than never, right?). Well I’m happy to say that the first projects on my list are now complete. The mirror that my cousin gave us for a wedding [...]
I’ve had these wooden cut outs for a couple months and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I knew I wanted to do something along the blank wall in my craft room, and then I thought it might be fun to display my necklace collection. So here we go… I found these beautiful [...]
My aunt recently gave me this little side table. No, it’s not cherry. It’s painted orange with large, chippy brushstrokes all over it. Pretty bad, right? Nothing a new coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey couldn’t fix. I watered down the paint a bit and gave the table two quick coats of [...]

Here are the [...]
I’m finishing up some last minute projects for my big Kitchen reveal on Monday and I needed something for a blank wall right when you enter from our Great Room. I thought a monogram would be a nice touch, and the final product only cost me about $7 for new supplies. Come take a look… [...]
I recently had the opportunity to get some new craft supplies from a new website called Consumer Crafts. I picked out a whole bunch of goodies, including many items for the Fall and Christmas seasons. What did I gravitate towards first? Some sweet smelling cinnamon sticks! And since this cooler season always seems to bring on [...]
Do you remember voting for the winning Laundry Room sign design on my Facebook page last week? Well if so, here the completed sign that I created for my Laundry Room makeover. I tried to keep the overhaul as cheap as possible so I ended up creating a bunch of the artwork myself, including this [...]
I’m in the process of giving my Laundry Room a makeover and I’d really REALLY love to get a new front load washer & dryer to jazz up the space, but… well, I’m broke. So instead of stenciling my Laundry Room wall as initially intended, I decided to give my 7 year old washer & [...]
