Budget Friendly DIY & Interior Decorating
Well, the time has come. It's time for me to get on the ball with my living room makeover! I finished up my whirlwind bathroom makeover, took a couple of weeks off of DIYing to rest up, and now it's time. Generally when I start a room makeover, I have some grand vision in my head of what it'll look like when it's finished. I'll be honest. I have no such vision for my living room. I mean, there are certain elements that I've already … [Read more...]
My breakfast room is finally finished. And...well...it's bright and colorful! Nobody ever accused me of being afraid of color, that's for sure!! :) It has taken me forever to get to this room finished, so let me remind you how this room looked when we bought our condo. And let me also remind you that as soon as we were handed the keys, I walked in and started snapping pictures. I didn't even take a few minutes to clear away the junk left by … [Read more...]
The space that I left open and tiled in my newly finished bookcase-turned-pantry was left open specifically to house our Berkey water filter. I needed it in a place that didn't take up any of the precious little kitchen countertop space that we have, but that was still easily accessible. That seemed like the perfect solution. But of course, the water filter didn't take up the entire space. I was left with this large empty space next to … [Read more...]
Guest post supplied by Tom Bailey Space is often at a premium in our homes – and the reality is that unless we’re lucky enough to live in a huge mansion, we’re always going to be on the lookout to maximize the space available to us using a variety of tips and tricks. The bedroom is a perfect example of a room that can become cluttered so easily; unless you’re particularly organized, clutter can pile up and become an eyesore before … [Read more...]
Remember a few months back when I turned my ugly and out-of-control bookcase... ...into a useful and potentially attractive pantry? Of course, I say "potentially attractive" because it still needed doors on the top and bottom sections to make it look something like this... The truth of the matter is that I never ordered the doors. I don't know why...I just didn't. Every time I thought about it, I … [Read more...]
Erin in New York has a problem that many of us have--no defined "entryway" and no place for a mudroom. Here's what Erin had to say: Normally, I have a knack for figuring out my own design dilemmas, but this one has me really flustered. My problem (design-wise) is that I lack a mudroom, or even a "landing area" when you enter my house from our attached garage. You enter directly into the eating area of our kitchen. And this is how we ALWAYS … [Read more...]

I finished a project this morning, and I’m so excited about how it turned out. Let me introduce you to my new framed magnetic chalkboard spice rack. If you’ve been around here much, you probably recognize that frame. It used to be a dry erase message board. I made that dry erase message board in January of this year, and since then I have learned an interesting thing about myself. I don’t use message boards. In the … [Read more...]

Do you remember my inspiration for this headboard? It was this headboard that belongs to my Virtual Room (re)Design client, Cassandra. When I saw her headboard, I loved it immediately. There was just something wonderful about the juxtaposition between the rough hewn wood and the very elegant shape. So when I was planning John & [...]
