My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Hi, my name is Erin and I’m addicted to the color red. Sorry, just had to get that out of my system! For any of you who know me personally (or my home), you would know that I’m obsessed with the color red. I think almost every room of my house has a pop of [...]
I’ve been wanting to experiment with vinyl stickers as a stencil for some time, so when I found this little round end table at a local flea market for $10 I thought this would be the perfect project! So here’s the before… and after! Here’s how I completed the transformation! Once I got the table [...]
So a couple of weeks ago my brother and sister-in-law asked if I could help transform their bedroom furniture. As newlyweds often do, they each brought a couple of pieces from their old bedroom sets into their new life together. My task: to paint the dresser, mirror and one nightstand black to match their other [...]
I found these huge candlesticks at Goodwill last week for $9 total. I quickly fell in love because the small one is one foot tall and the larger one is about two feet tall. It’s hard to find large accent candlesticks for such a good price! While I loved the size, I didn’t think the [...]
I found a new end table this past week at St. Vincent De Paul. I really didn’t have a specific place in mind for it, but for only $10 it was a steal! Luckily the end table is made of real wood and from Stanley Furniture so I know it will last! No knicks or [...]
I’ve been needing something new to put above my accent table in the kitchen that I purchased at Pier 1 a couple of months ago. I recently had a canvas painting of some fruit, but I’m really trying to phase out that theme in my kitchen (it’s a little outdated!). During a recent trip to [...]
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 [...]
My daughter is a budding artist so I really thought she’d love a space to create and color of her own. While I was at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago, I found a great desk for $30 that was in pretty good shape. When I called my hubby to see if he could pick [...]
