  • We had almost a full gallon of Lowes Olympic paint, color camel, so I used that to lighten up the room somewhat. 1
  • This is the fugly brown door leading out to the garage.

I had painted the cabinets and baseboards white several years ago so that saved me that task!
  • I bought 2.25 yards of springy floral material, on sale, at Hobby Lobby for $11.00 and made a curtain to hide the water hoses and electrical and to give the room a little bit of whimsy. 
A $10.00 shower curtain rod from WalMart holds it in place.
  • We decided to have a countertop span the machines. After pricing out materials we were kind of stumped until Mr. B had the genius idea to use an Ikea tabletop as a countertop. Whenever we go to Ikea I always check out the As-Is section. This trip there was a stack of white cabinet doors, for get this, 99 cents each! Perfect for making signs! I just used some drywall spackle to plug up the hole for a knob. I then purchased some wooden letters from Hobby Lobby, painted them a color that coordinated with the fabric and hot glued them onto the door.
  • On the wall opposite the washer and dryer, I used another of the cabinet doors to hang our jackets on when we come home. The cute checkered knobs were a clearance find at Hobby Lobby for $1.02 each!  Perfect! Instead of wooden letters, I stenciled the letters on using a nice bright pink.
  • I used up some white trim paint we had on hand to paint the fugly brown door.  Sooo much brighter and cleaner looking, yes?
Using a picture frame I already had, I created a whiteboard to hang on the door. The dry erase ink wipes right off the glass.

Laundry Room Before & After

We had to replace our washer and dryer recently. I figured this would be the perfect time to tackle one of my to-do's, paint and clean up the laundry room. It's not a big room, only ...»
6'x6', and was looking tired and worn out. It was past time to treat this room like every other room in the house and shine it up!

DIY Custom Pantry Transformation

After two years of struggling with storage space in our existing pantry, we moved the pantry renovation to the top of our "Never ending honey-do-list". We started out with a common ...»
looking pantry with utility wire shelving hidden behind a set of bi-fold doors. But after a little "sweat equity" we transformed the pantry into a custom built-in with adjustable wooden shelves, drawer sliders, and the best part of all, all of the storage that we could ask for! (We're also working on a series of tutorials where we share the plans of how we built the cabinet. Here's the first set of plans: http://www.thediyvillage.com/2013/05/build-a...) #BeforeandAfter #DIY #kitchenpantry

An Old Ladder Re-purposed as a Bed Canopy

I've always dreamed of having a canopy bed...somewhere along the way it switched from "pink and frilly" to "neutral and junky". I am very happy with how it turned out. ...»

My engineer husband very securely attached the brackets to the walls and the old ladder to the brackets...no worries :) Then I draped 2 matching painters drop cloths over 2 of the rungs of the ladder. That's it...easy!
