How to Nest for Less | My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Home Design & Decor on the Cheap
Today I’m guest posting over at Amanda’s blog, Serenity Now. Please stop by and say hello! OK, now onto the normal post. I’m a girl who likes change. Anyone close to me will tell you that I change the décor in my home every six months… or at least so it seems. That’s why I [...]
Only a couple of more days until Easter! I really didn’t do many projects this year specifically for this holiday (I think I’m still a little burnt out from Christmas crafts!). But while sitting home yesterday with a sick child and cleaning my craft room I noticed some materials that would be perfect for an [...]
Two weeks ago I posted about using fabric to cover an old lamp shade to go with my new great room (aint’ she purdy? love the red swirls!). I had another old lamp shade sitting in the basement and really needed to add some extra light by my two red reading chairs. So here we [...]
Last week I posted about my Home Goals for 2012. The first thing I really want to tackle on my list? Start introducing more of my eclectic style in my traditional great room, which means a POP of color and some funky pieces. I recently added new lamps to my master bedroom and wanted to [...]
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 [...]
A couple of month’s back I painted and reupholstered an accent chair for my Great Room (seen here). While I liked the fabric choice and color, I didn’t think that the chair provided enough POP for the room! Over the weekend I was at Hancock Fabrics while they were celebrating their 54th Anniversary with a [...]
I found this adorable fabric scrap wreath from One More Moore’s blog post she created back in November 2010. I thought this craft would be the perfect idea to add a little bling to my daughter’s bedroom door. So off I went to get my supplies! I purchased a metal wreath frame for $3, a [...]
While walking through the aisles of Goodwill with my three year old, she spotted a baby doll cradle that she just had to have. It was very bland (just untreated wood) but since it was only $3 I figured I could get it into tip-top shape with a little bit of paint and fabric. So [...]
Yes, I know. I’ve been on a bit of a revamped chair kick recently! While at St. Vincent De Paul last week, I spotted this lovely chair. It caught my eye with the cool bevels in the wood…and the ugly fabric of course! I decided to purchase the chair to refurbish for my Great Room. [...]
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 [...]
I spotted this country style heart shelf from Goodwill the other day for $6. While it’s not really my style, I thought a little paint could really transform this into a nice little accent piece for my daughter’s bedroom. The shelf was in great condition for only $6. I really didn’t have to do any [...]
