Budget Friendly DIY & Interior Decorating
Yesterday, I just happened upon the HGTV website, and I saw all of these mentions about a 2013 HGTV Smart Home. I was like "whaaaaat?" How long have they been doing this? I knew about the annual Dream Home, and the annual Green Home (which I completely missed this year!!), but I don't think I've ever heard of the Smart Home. How long have they been doing this?! Y'all know I don't have cable, right? You're supposed to keep me informed … [Read more...]
I'm so happy to have the photo galleries now added to the new A2D! These galleries are very much improved over the old ones, and once the photos are tagged (I still have quite a bit of work to do on that), then they'll also be searchable by any number of words and room features. As before, these galleries include rooms from incredibly talented interior designers and decorators from across the U.S. (and some from beyond), but this time, I'm … [Read more...]
Have you seen this girl's room from Life In Grace? I'm so drawn to the colors and the mix of patterns and textures. I would have loved this room as a young girl, but I'd love it today as well. To see many more pictures of this room's details, as well as the coordinating bathroom, visit Life In Grace. … [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...]

Lorrie, the president of Fluff Your Stuff, sent over an easy headboard idea … [Read more...]
Looking for an inexpensive gift for a teacher? Here it is! This pencil monogram by Caro's Thrifty Adventures isn't going to break the budget, and look how adorable it is! What teacher wouldn't be thrilled to receive such a gift?! This would also be cute as artwork for a child's room, an art studio, a playroom, or anywhere else where a shot of color is needed. See DIY instructions and more monograms (more letters) at Caro's Thrifty … [Read more...]
It seems like this week has a recurring theme--decoupage! On Tuesday, I shared with you a chest of drawers that I recently painted and decoupaged for a pre-teen girl named Caroline. Now I'll show you the crazy, colorful, out-of-the-box headboard that I made for her room. Ready? Caroline specifically wanted the word "peace" on her headboard, but this design could be easily adapted for any young girl's room. Literally any color(s) of … [Read more...]
First of all, thank you so much to each of you who read yesterday's post and left such supportive comments. I was angry, as you could tell. I was shocked beyond belief that someone would have the nerve to do that. But now I'm over it. I'm moving on. And in a way, I'm a little thankful that it brought my absolute favorite room that I've ever designed back into the spotlight. So I thought I'd share a little bit about it with you. First, … [Read more...]
Do you remember this bedside table I bought at Goodwill for Bailey's room? Yesterday, it underwent a bit of a transformation. I started out by using my electric sander on all of the flat surfaces just to remove any rough areas and to give it some "tooth". I finished up the sanding by hand since there were so many grooves and details that couldn't be reached with the electric sander. (I really need to invest in a detail … [Read more...]
There are so many fun crafty things that can be done with paper pulp egg cartons. When I came across these unique purple ones in the trash at my office (yes, I dug them out of the trash), I just knew they could be turned into something really spectacular. My idea? This paper pulp egg carton flower pendant light. I think this flower pendant light would add a pretty feminine touch to a girl's room or any room that needs a pretty, feminine touch . … [Read more...]
