Update Your Vanity for Less than $10
UPDATE: To see a more in-depth tutorial on these cabinets, check out this DIY I wrote for Design Sponge! When I first remodeled this bathroom, I replaced the flooring, the backsplash and the mirror. I updated the countertop, retiled the shower and all the trim. I changed the plumbing so...
Lego Island Wall
I have always wanted a lego wall. There's something so appealing about them--they're graphic, fun, and a surprising pop of color. Have you seen the trend of filling cracks in stone with legos? It's my favorite. Just one more reason I need an ancient old stone home. The kitchen in my last home...
Rainbow Brite Wall Stripe
I feel magically transported to the 70's. I wasn't alive in the 70's, but I'd like to think it felt something like this. I found this bed sheet whilst I was out thrifting last month and fell immediately in love. I bought it, not knowing what I was going to do with it. It was $5. Months later,...
DIY Mural with the Grid Transfer Method
Guys, guys. This mural is rocking my world. Graphic, unique and interesting as hell. Did I mention that it was free? I know, your minds are blown. Wanna make this yourself? I'll give you the 411, the DL, the nitty gritty. Firstly, you need an artist. Don't have one in-house like I do? Find a...
1950’s Farmhouse Renovation Video Tour
It's one thing to see photos, it's another to watch a video with yours truly. I do a guided walk-through of the entire house, explaining my thought process and any changes that were made. It's a good way to get an overview of the changes that were made, so you can get a feel for the...
1950’s Farmhouse Reno
Ah. The 1950's green farmhouse. What it lacks in charm it makes up for in location and land. 2.5 acres, three barns, 60 chickens and 2 horses. Good sledding during snowstorms. My parents bought it and needed it redone, but had no desire to remodel it. They hired me. And then they rented to me....
Collage Nook
I had a really hard time with the furniture in this living room. I am a sucker for finding and buying couches whether or not they go together and usually end up with more large furniture than a room needs. Room & Board Brown Couch I love this couch. I was perusing Craigslist for something...
White Brick Fireplace
Fireplace It was a pleasure to update this fireplace. Painting it white brightened up the room immensely. It made this dated living room modern and clean and became one of my favorite backdrops for art. My next project is to replace the mantle with something chunkier with good texture....
Thrifted Stallion Corner
This corner has been empty since we first moved in, populated solely with a rotating piece of art (usually an outdated family photo). Moving this green cabinet into the space was actually just a temporary fix at first, but I've really grown to like it. I love the pop of color and interest that...
Bookshelf of the Gods
Named by Garrett. Because of the awe-struck way he feels every time he sees it. The Need I've always wanted a built-in. Books, I love them. I don't know why it started, but I was out one day by myself and stumbled into the book section of a thrift store, which for some reason I've never thought...
