DIY Painting a Wood Dresser
When converting our son’s nursery into a big boy room, we were kind of strapped for cash as we were also furnishing an entire new nursery with the arrival of our second child on the horizon, so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I also didn’t want to go out and buy [...]
Old Door Turned into Headboard DIY
My friend Andrea found this awesome door at an old abandoned building and decided to turn it into a headboard. What a cool idea! It started as a simple oak door that she painted two coats of Sherwin William’s Reclining Green on (she chose the paint color to match the quilt on their bed). It was [...]
Better Than Wallpaper – a Stencil Giveaway!
The accent wall is finally done in our nursery – thanks to my parents help and a stencil pattern from Cutting Edge Stencils! I am in LOVE! After finding out that this little bundle of joy was a girl, I just knew I wanted to do something as fun as an accent wall in her [...]
Recipe Card Kitchen Towels
Recipe cards are pretty much a thing of the past these days… with the ease of finding recipes on the internet and sharing them through blogs and websites like Pinterest, it’s no wonder we don’t spend the time to hand-write a recipe for someone anymore— I know I don’t. I have a folder on my [...]
DIY Canvas Painting
I am probably one of the least artistic people ever, but I still wanted some cute art for my little guy’s nursery. I started browsing Etsy and other online shops for a giraffe print to match the rest of his nursery, and realized everything was really expensive, especially for a 20″ x 34″ print. I [...]
DIY Distressed Nightstands
Before our house was even built, I began searching for the perfect nightstands. I knew I wanted white ones, but when I couldn’t find any that I liked at a decent price, I decided I would find some and paint them! I found these beauties at a local hotel furniture store (kind of like a [...]
DIY Nailhead Trim Headboard
Oh, how I love my our headboard! Though my husband is a frugal guy, he is generally not very happy with anything DIY, partly because I was taking up the garage with all my projects. He is not one of those crafty, handy, electrical geniuses, so I also think he was scared of making something like [...]
DIY Tile Coasters
While browsing Pinterest, I found many tutorials to make these adorable DIY coasters using only a few materials. I’ve played around with making a few different kinds with scrapbook paper and photographs. They make sweet gifts for teachers, neighbors, birthdays and on any other gift giving occasion. They’re easy, but a little time consuming. Materials: [...]
DIY No-Sew Crib Skirt Makeover
With the anticipated arrival of my second son, I was looking forward to decorating another little boy’s room, but I wasn’t excited about spending a ton of money. Before my oldest son was born, we were given a number of hand-me-downs, including a bed skirt and matching crib sheet. It had worked great in his [...]
DIY Magnetic Chalkboards
Chalkboards seem to be the biggest craze right now, and I’ve totally jumped on board. I’ve been looking for something to make my own for awhile, but haven’t had much luck. I like the framed chalkboard look, but couldn’t see a piece of glass being sturdy (or safe) enough. I thought I could get just a [...]
