Wall Mount Ironing Board For Cheap!

The chore of ironing, in my book, is a torturous one. I purposely buy clothes that don't need ironing. A little spin in a hot dryer and I call my clothes ironed. However, if one sews, ...»
which I occasionally like to pretend that I am good at, an iron is essential. So when I was planning out my craft studio space I knew I needed an iron somewhere.

DIY Cake Stand Kitchen Organizer

I don't know about you, but my kitchen counters can not have any clutter on them or I will go insane. It's not easy to keep the counter clean when there is things laying around. I was ...»
getting sick of my dish soap & hand soap lying around so I wanted to make something to clean it all up. I made this stand using a dollar store tray & a candlestick. I simply spray painted the two pieces & glued them together with super glue. I also added a bowl with white rags inside to cut back on our paper towel. They are super handy & great to bleach and keep clean for some "green cleaning". Check the post for all of the photos and info. Hope you guys love this simple DIY :)

  • Beaten up old bucket with a brass eagle on the other side.
  • I decided on a golden wheat color with streaks of barn red and added a whitewash.  I lightly sanded it down to expose some of the wood.
  • Add some buttons and it makes a perfect container for my magazines.

I love to go to garage sales, and something about this bucket called to me.

DIY 80's Kitchen Update

I needed to help sell my Mom's house inexpensively and on my time constraints. A 1980's kitchen never bothered me but buyers were always saying how outdated it was. I did 3 weeks of ...»
fun internet searches and did my research so I was prepared on the day of painting/updating. (I live 5 states away, have crazy hours at work and take care of my toddler, so I needed to be efficient in a wknd.)

Sure, there are things that could use more updating in the pictures, but didn't have time. She also need to get a new fridge - but will let the buyer deal with that!

Overall: Smoky Slate (Green/Gray) paint to walls, painted over flowery tile, and island. Changed cabinetry hardware. Didn't have time or money for overhauling cabinets or changing the overhead light fixture. May have to make a few more trips.

Details: For the tile and island - used bonding primer first (2 coats for tile, 1 coat for island oak). Measured 4 fluting wood at Lowe's - painted both sides with bonding primer, then used Liquid Nails and 4 real nails for each fluting wood to put on island. Then painted island completely in the Smoky Slate.

For the cabinet pulls - they were 80's brass. Sanded lightly while still on cabinets, unscrewed, laid out on flat surface outside (my youngin' helper), spray paint gray primer, spray paint brushed nickel. The brushed nickel looked gray and horrible when on the cabinets and didn't match anything! So re-did spray primer and spray paint - Black Flat - looked much better with existing black appliances. Tedious - since we had to do it twice - but a pink power screwdriver helped!

Total time- 2 people, prepped before, 6 hours. $100.00

Effect - Toned down the formica crème cabinets and all that (good) oak wood!

A quick and inexpensive DIY. More to come on other parts of the house!

  • Good job I can see past the facade and find the diamond in the rough!!!  That's me standing by my new studio and loving it.  I saw the possibilities as I checked the whole thing out. It needed just a little work ...I thought!!
  • We added 2 windows in the front and 2 new ones on the side . we closed up a back window because it faced south and I chose to have north facing window for better light control. And we opened the existing doorway for the french doors.
  • At the end of last season ( our seasons run november through may with none or not so much rain) this is where we had to stop as the rains came and we couldnt get out to do anymore
  • So this is where we are today.  follow me for updates as there is more work to be done.
