  • The space was originally 2 separate rooms-a tiny toilet, shower, single sink and a vanity area.  We removed the wall and 2 closets to make one open space. 3
  • Because this was a total DIY project, we were able to complete a much higher end looking bathroom for $7,000. 1
  • These mirrors (from Lowes) and sconces (from Home Depot) were both very affordable options and I love the look they create in the bathroom. 2
  • The pedestal tub is my favorite addition to the space.

DIY Master Bathroom

We completely renovated a 1980's outdated master bathroom (think metallic wallpaper) and created a tranquil space to escape my 3 boys! The post on my blog contains many of our sources.

Want to know what to do with an old window and some fence boards?

#BeforeandAfter

First, you take some old discarded windows from a job site and distress, paint and ...»

distress some more to achieve the desired look. Then you get a family photo enlarged as an engineering print to fit the chosen window. Use cardstock and the Cricut to produce a long held family motto. Take some old fence boards and make a farmhouse looking shutter and put it all together! "Family is forever" is front and center in our kitchen to remind us everyday of what is truly important!

Ugly Kitchen Table Makeover Part Two!

#BeforeandAfter

#MayProjects ...»

The rest of the details on our kitchen table makeover! Our table was much loved and well used (think pencil art) and needed an update badly. My husband and son sanded it to its bare bones and then my painter husband went to work figuring out how to get the look we wanted with the table we had. All the details are on the blog!

to make an easy wreath for spring and summer! Just add them to a grapevine wreath, fill with faux flowers and Spanish moss and hang!
