Budget Friendly DIY & Interior Decorating
Catherine at Freddy and Petunia recently gave this dresser a makeover...for the second time. This time the dresser has an Americana look with its stars and stripes, and had cute little spigot handles for drawer pulls. What a great use for colorful spigot handles! The dresser was nice before its most recent makeover, but it was more suited for a baby boy's room. Now the more "grown-up" look is something that can be used … [Read more...]
I find boys' rooms to be quite a challenge to decorate, so I'm always on the lookout for great ideas that can be used in a boy's room.

Boys' rooms can be such a challenge to decorate, especially when it comes to window treatments. Mallory at Classy Clutter found a great solution for her little guy's window. She created a rustic wood cornice with an airplane transfer on it. And the best part...it didn't cost her a single dollar! She used wood and supplies that she already had on hand. That's the best kind of project, isn't it? To see the step-by-step tutorial for … [Read more...]
If I had to choose the most challenging type of room to decorate, I would probably choose boys' bedrooms. Sure, when they're babies, it's less challenging. You can put all kinds of cutesy stuff in there and they won't care. But decorating a room for a teenaged boy...that's a whole different challenge. Linda at It All Started With Paint accepted the challenge, and pulled it off like a pro. She created this amazing orange, black and gray … [Read more...]
If you've been around A2D very long, then you know how much I love seeing old, weathered wood being repurposed into beautiful items for homes. I've seen plenty of reclaimed wood headboards (and even wrote a post about them here), but this weathered wood headboard from Southern Fried Living is a little different from the others I've seen. The simple design is wonderful for a boy's room, and the addition of the light adds such … [Read more...]
I don't even have a wall clock in my home. I rely on the clock on my stove, the clock on my computer, and my alarm clock in the bedroom. Why? Because I can never find a nice clock that actually interests me. But this DIY version from Wonderful Joy Ahead definitely caught my eye! I love the colorful face, the big graphic numbers, and the simplistic faux bois background. The best part...the cost of this project came in at around $5. To see … [Read more...]
