Built in bookcases

I used four Billy bookcases (with extenders) from Ikea to install a wall of built in bookcases for my craft room. For a few hundred dollars, we have a custom look!

DIY Coastal bathroom

We added wainscotting, painted the cabinets, and DIY'd a bunch of accessories (including the towel rack) to make a coastal bathroom for our kids.

We purchased four Ikea Billy bookcases and "built them" in with trim work. Custom look for not-so custom budget! http://justagirlblog.com/billy-bookcases-diy...

Colorful deck transformation

We gave our deck some much-needed TLC, and it's finally a place I enjoy relaxing! It's nice when a project doesn't cost too much, too. http://justagirlblog.com/deck-decor-lowes-cr...

Painting: Should I paint my kitchen cabinets?

These cabinets are about 30 years old but still look good I think. I have been throwing around the idea of painting them a off white colour. It is a hugh kitchen and would be a hugh ...»
job. Or, I could just paint the walls... it is a peanut shell colour now. What colour do you think? Also, I was thinking maybe just change the hardware. Should I have a runner or area run under the table. Any other ideas to spruce up this space would be welcome. HELP PLEASE!!
