    Hi Kristi! Love what you did with this little bathroom! I especially love the mirror!

  • This bathtub is 30+ years old, and has seen many renters come and go before we bought our condo.  It was stained, but didn't have any cracks or chips, so I decided to paint rather than replace.
  • The bathtub with it's new shiny bright white paint.  I couldn't get the two drains off, so I just painted right over them. 1
  • The first coat of paint going on.  You can see how dingy and drab the color of the tub was compared to the bright white paint. 2

DIY Painted Bathtub

I just finished painting my bathtub a couple of days ago. I used Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit, and it's still curing (you're not supposed to get water on it for three days), but ...»
the paint seems very durable. Of course, it IS paint, so it won't last forever, but I think this is a very good solution if you want a somewhat easy fix for an ugly, outdated tub, and don't quite have the budget for a complete replacement. More details (including a video) at the link below.

    Fastnacht Shavout , sorry, ...»
    but you lost me with your comment. I CAN'T afford a contractor, which is why I decided to paint my tub. While you have the good fortune of having a husband who can and will do these projects for you, I don't. My husband is in a wheelchair and has M.S., so LITERALLY every single project that gets done around our home, I have to do by myself, with my own two hands. And yes, it does feel VERY good, and VERY empowering as a woman to do it myself, rather than having to rely on my husband or a contractor to do it. Just about everything in my condo is my own creation, built, made, altered, updated or created with my own two hands.

$35 using cedar fence pickets. Next up, I'll be working on the walls, and getting rid of (or covering up) the 30+ year old berry wallpaper.

Tiny Condo Laundry Room (Disguised As A Hallway)

I live in a very small 834-square-foot condo, so having a real laundry room just isn't possible. So I carved out a little "laundry room" space right in the hallway. Washer and dryer are ...»

    Bonnie, I agree with you about small houses. Mine is bigger than I need -- about 2400 sq feet, ...»
    including an unfinished basement that's as big as my previous home -- but my hubby insisted we had to have a big house. We looked at smaller ones, but none of them could accommodate his needs (he was in a wheelchair). Now that he's passed on, I would go with a much smaller home if anything happened to this one. I like knowing, however, that we rescued an abandoned home rather than building a new one.

Do you have a New Year's Resolution?

Confession time! This is my living/dining room. As you can see it is stark, white and minimal. I'll admit, I like it that way ~I'm odd like that :) but I've decided it's time to make a change and inject some color. I think New Year's Resolutions should be about challenging ourselves to do something that will ultimately make us happy (funny how we sometimes resist that), so this is mine. What's yours? Please use this hashtag in your post so we can all see it: ...»

White Subway Tile Backsplash with Black Cabinets

While everyone is lightening their kitchen spaces with white cabinets (which I adore!) I decided to keep my dark cabinets which are easier to clean. I wanted to brighten up the space ...»

Tiny Condo Breakfast Room Makeover

I live in a tiny condo and have to make the most of every inch of space. I gave my breakfast room a makeover by taking full advantage of vertical space with additional storage, and then added lots and lots of color!

Popcorn and Cranberry Wreath

microwave (without oil which I was afraid would yellow the popcorn), and glued the popcorn and cranberries to a styrofoam wreath.
