Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. A couple of weeks ago, I told you about the "drab to fab" furniture makeovers I am working on that will be on display at the Denver Home Show March 18-20th. And today I'm thrilled to share the first completed makeover with you ... a chic new look for a desk chair from the 1920s. I picked this chair up for $6 at Goodwill because it was the perfect ...

{one room challenge} Week 3 – The Storm Before the Calm
No matter how many big projects I work on - whether they be design, DIY, or organizing - I always have that moment of frustration where I look around at the mess I have created and wonder if it will ever all come together. And in the ongoing process of redesigning our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge, Week 3 was that moment. As I sit in the room writing that post, I can safely say we've hit the it gets worse before it gets better point. Although it doesn't yet show in ... View the Post
Update Laminate Countertops With Paint Using Rustoleum Countertop Transformations
I have received a few questions from readers lately asking for DIY kitchen update ideas that provide a high end look without a renovation budget. Painting kitchen cabinets is always a good option (and I've got a tutorial to help you get a professional, even finish), but another of my favorite tips is to update kitchen counters on a budget with paint to create the look of high end stone. A while back I wrote a post about how to use a Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformations Kit to DIY granite look ... View the Post

{One Room Challenge} Week 3 Update
As most of you know by now, I am taking part in the One Room Challenge as a link participant! And here we are already at week 3 of 6. I am feeling pretty good about what we've been able to get done to date {I say we, because Scott is a vital part of this challenge}, but we still have a long ways to go in order to get Beckett's new room completed in just three more weeks! Before I give you this week's update, here's a quick refresher. We are decorating a brand new, "big boy" room for ... View the Post
{diy with style} Tips & Tricks for Using Chalkboard Paint + A Few Uses You Probably Haven’t Thought Of
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and apparently there hasn't been enough painting going on in my life lately because I just can't stop thinking about all things paint! Yesterday, I shared all of my best advice for painting any space... from choosing paint and paint supplies, to achieving perfectly crisp paint lines, clean up, and even paint storage and disposal. And now I'm talking about chalkboard paint! Whether you already have a chalkboard in your home, or you are ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Painting Frames and Framing Paper
A couple of weeks ago I shared with you how we created extra bathroom storage by adding a decorative cabinet in the hallway just outside the bathroom by Beckett's nursery. Today I wanted to talk about the artwork above that hallway cabinet. When we first bought that cute black and white striped cabinet, I struggled to decide what to hang above it. With nothing but the beige hallway walls, the cabinet looked totally lost and out of place in the hall. I originally ... View the Post
Master Bedroom Makeover Without Buying New Furniture
A few weeks ago I told you about a call I received from a college friend asking for help giving her master bedroom a new, more sophisticated look, and today I'm ecstatic to show you the dramatic transformation we achieved in the space despite keeping the room layout and most of the same furniture! In my two prior posts about this space, I shared a lot of information about the space and the design plans, so I won't rehash all of that here {since I know you really just want to see the pretty ...

{diy with style} The Dark Door Difference
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape® for IZEA. As always, all opinions are 100% mine. You guys know I like things bold, so you probably won't be surprised that from the moment we moved into our home, I was itching to do something, anything, to liven up the very bland, off-white stucco box that is our detached garage. When we started planning the first phase of our backyard makeover a number of years ago, we decided on a patio constructed of square ... View the Post
6 Quick Ways to Add Color to a Front Porch
Two years ago, when I was nine months pregnant with Cooper, I decided that the one thing I absolutely had to do before he was born was to freshen up our front porch. Imagine me on the porch with my giant belly painting the doorbell... of wait, you don't have to imagine it because I have the photos. The changes we made a couple years really did have a big impact on the front porch, but something was still missing. Our front porch is very tall, so we really needed something to add just a bit of ... View the Post
How to Organize Spray Paint Cans
Our house has a detached garage, which, as a DIYer, can sometimes pose challenges. Because the garage is unheated and uninsulated, I basically have a spray paint season, and then a long period of months when it's too cold to paint in the garage. And the months of cold weather also make spray paint storage a challenge. A couple of years ago, I added shelves in our utility room to store some of our paint and painting supplies. I did a lot of research to determine if it was safe to store paint ... View the Post
Simple Pantry Organization Hacks
A disorganized home can create unnecessary stress. This is especially true when it comes to your pantry because it's a space you use multiple times a day, every day! Trying to organize a pantry can feel overwhelming and frustrating because its contents change so frequently. It's easy enough to line things up neatly on the shelves, but the real challenge is creating an organized pantry system that your whole family can keep up with so you won't find yourself rearranging things again and ...
