My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Yesterday I showed you how I added a couple of key pieces to our main living space, but today I’m showing you the entire room and how I incorporated some of my favorite furniture transformations I’ve completed in the past year. One of my absolute favorite furniture makeovers is this little credenza I painted with [...]
I absolutely love a challenge, so when Better Homes and Gardens asked me if I wanted to refresh my living room for $250 with their line sold exclusively at Walmart, of course I had to say YES! This room has been the only space in my home that I haven’t fully revealed on my blog. [...]
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 thinking about starting my Great Room makeover in this coming month and I decided to throw together a couple of mood boards to get inspired. Thus far I have Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams on the wall, microfiber brown couches (yeah, can’t afford new couches quite yet so the old ones are staying) and [...]
I was pretty stoked when Red Posie (a vintage & antique store in St. Louis) asked me to try out some Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint since they’re a new retailer in the area. I’ve been hearing about the paint for months and was über excited to get started! I chose the color Ironstone (white) [...]
Oh, my favorite time of the year is finally upon us! Time to get the Fall decorations out of the basement and decorate my fireplace mantel. One of my favorite additions to this year’s fireplace mantel was a new garland filled with pumpkins and berries that I purchased from Michael’s for 50% off. And I’m [...]
I think I mentioned last week that I’m in the process of giving my Great Room a little makeover. It’s been a slower process than my normal makeovers since we’re strapped for cash during my hubby’s new job transition. So here’s a little sneak peek into the room… my fireplace mantel. Here’s a little before [...]
So I’m in the process of redecorating my Great Room. Yes, the room that was once filled with black furniture and lots of red is getting some lighter and brighter love. Instead of buying all new furniture, I thought I would try and paint some existing pieces to save some cash. First project: paint our [...]
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 [...]
