I have decided to continue the stenciling on my accent wall in my dining room around to the backsplash in my kitchen. Here are a few more pictures. I made a few more sample boards and ...»
placed them in the kitchen and the dining room (really they are just one big room). I don't know if it will be easier to decide on a favorite now, or if it will make it harder (like it did for me). Thanks everyone! You are all so supportive and your insight and suggestions have helped so much!

College Room Dorm Room Before and After REVEAL !

My daughter moved into a fraternity house (and "yes" I said fraternity house). All girls in the house, though! But that left lots of painting and spackling and cleaning for us. See the before and after photos!

  • We asked a friend to build us a dog house....a few days later he had this idea.  He already had these old cabinets.
  • They cut out 2 holes for doors. The original cabinet doors still open, for easy cleaning. Put on a latch and a roof. We already had paint...so it just needs to be painted.  TOTAL COST LESS THAN $20.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1

We needed a large dog house...it was built from a cabinet ...TOTAL COST $20.00 !!!!!

Chalk Painted kitchen cabinets & cottage kitchen redo

We decided to tear out our existing builder grade cabinets and rebuild them with some open shelving incorporated into the design. We used Annie Sloan chalk paint on all of the lower and upper cabinets.
