My Life as a DIY Wannabe
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 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) [...]
So earlier this week I showed you my Stenciled Washer & Dryer and Laundry Room Makeover (which I’m completely in love with since it was a super cheap makeover). But today I wanted to share some info about the paint I used on my walls because… Sherwin Williams is having a HUGE sale September 21st through the [...]
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 & [...]
I decided to take a quick break from painting my kitchen cabinets for a fun little quick project using some of the Deco Art paints I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Since the Fall season is fast approaching, I decided to prepare a little Chip & Dip set using the Transparent [...]
If you remember, I’m try to revamp my Great Room on a tight budget which means upcycling my current furniture and accessories. Friday I showed you my Fireplace Mantel Makeover, but I had one last project I was toying around with to add to my brick hearth. Yep, this large ceramic vase has been in my [...]
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’m in the process of switching my kitchen over to a lighter color scheme. I had this little accent table sitting in there, mostly holding my tupperware and some serving pieces. Since I don’t have a lot of cabinets, I really wanted to keep this table… just switch it up a bit! I started by [...]
I get a lot of emails about what paints, top coats and brushes I use on my projects, so here’s a little Q&A roundup I like to call Painting 101. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PAINT BRANDS? I’ve used a bunch of different paint brands in the past throughout my home, but have recently narrowed it [...]
The very first thing we painted when we moved into our home over 6 years ago was the continuous wall running from our Dining Room to our Kitchen. We’ve had red as an accent color throughout our home, but now I’m ready for a change. I’m ready to lighten everything up. Live lighter and brighter. [...]
