Installing My New Furniture Pipeline Shelves

This post is sponsored by Furniture Pipeline. All opinions are my own.Who doesn't love open shelving? They can be so versatile. Not only can you use them to display pretty things but they are also functional. If you've been around my blog for a while you know I'm no stranger to building my own shelves. As a matter of fact, I've previously created my own DIY pipe shelves from plumbing materials. This time Furniture Pipeline has supplied the hardware and all I have to do is create the wood shelves. I can't wait to show you how easy this project is!One thing I love about this company is that they've partnered with Eden Projects to plant trees in areas that are severely affected by deforestation. They have committed to planting 7 trees per product that they distribute through their certified retailers, to combat deforestation and poverty in areas such as Madagascar, Haiti, and Nepal. They also plant trees when DIY projects are shared on social media with the hashtag myfpdesign!

Half Bath Shelving | How To Hang Wood Shelves

Hi friends! So glad you’re here! Maybe you caught my Insta Reels yesterday {yes, you read that right! I made a Reel!! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks…it may or may not have taken watching a few YouTube tutorials to figure it all out…but I did it! Woot!} but I showed you in video form how I added shelving to my half bath! This tiny half bath certainly has seen its fair share of insanity over the short time we’ve owned this 1886 Victorian, and I fully intend to show it off in a series of posts! I mean, it’s only fair to give one of our most visited rooms {haha} in the house a little glory, am I right? Over the next couple of days I’ll be sharing on these topics: *Half Bath Shelving*Before and After During Fire Demo – eek!! You don’t want to miss this one!*Half Bath Decor*Half Bath Fixtures To kick it off the series, let’s start with shelving! Bathrooms are such an odd space and filling those spaces can be even odder (is that a word? Let’s just go with it!) Maximizing space and adding functionality is always a must…but if I’m being totally honest, I care more about adding fun, unique features that make my rooms different from the norm! That usually comes in the form of some type of DIY and a garbage pile! HA! Wood Shelves The space above my toilet had a towel bar there when we moved in. Nothing wrong with that, but lets be real. Is it more important to hang a towel or pretty wooden shelves that can hold beautiful decor? If you chose the latter, we can be BFFs for life! Here’s the before…so naked and lonely!

DIY Wood Towel Holder Ring With a Shelf

Finding a good location to hang your towels in the bathroom could be a challenge, especially if you’re limited on wall space. But it makes it even more challenging if you have kids. If the towel bar is attached to drywall, eventually the bar might be ripped off the wall and you’ll end up with a big hole. Having this issue I decided to make my own DIY Wood Towel Holder Ring with a Shelf. This towel holder attaches directly to the stud and will take some effort to be ripped off and doesn’t take much wall space.I made this project using scrap pieces that I had laying around in my scrap pile. If you have some scrap wood and interested in building something out of wood, this could be a great project to try. I created a step-by-step plan with 3D illustrations.For more info and printable PDF visit my website at TheDIYPlan.com

DIY Black Buffet Makeover

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this DIY black buffet makeover. All opinions of their amazing brushes are my own.You know that buffets are one of my favorite pieces of furniture to make over. I buy them whenever I can find them at a good price and in need of some TLC and love.The things I look for in a buffet before I will bring it home are:Is it made of real wood? If the buffet is not real wood, I will not bring it home.Are there any major problems in the wood? If there are huge chunks of the wood falling apart of it a dog has chewed up the legs, I will not bring it home.Does it have missing hardware? No problem! I can always find new hardware for it.Are the drawers functional? Most of the time, we can fix drawers that aren’t working or are missing the bottom inside. When we weren’t confident in our “drawer fixing” skills, I would look at the piece and see if we could turn the broken drawer into a shelf instead and have it work that way.Price. This is a huge deciding factor when picking up any piece of furniture. It has to be in my “buffet budget” to have it make sense to bring home and work on it.Those are the main things I look for when deciding to bring a buffet home or not.

DIY Mud & Plaster Vases | Pottery Barn Inspired

Are you loving the vintage clay pottery trend as much as I am lately?I must admit at first I wasn't too sure it was worth trying. But soon I realized how easy it could be with just a few things you can find in your garage or even right outside your house.Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel happen to be two of my favorite places to find high quality decor, and occasionally I get lucky and find things on sale but these vases or vintage clay looking vases do not come cheap. Honestly though these two retail home stores are great to walk through for home decor inspiration and so I'm that person just strolling the store for all the inspo.These DIY vases were in fact inspired by Pottery Barn this time around. And I gotta say I got lucky when I found these two second hand vases, because they were exactly what I was looking for in size even though at the time I didn't know it yet. Sometimes you just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

House Painting Project: Before and After Photos

This house painting project, like so many of our others, went from not a priority to an immediate need fast. I was sick of looking at the peeling exterior paint on the plain plywood siding. Not to mention the sad curb appeal. It took some convincing but eventually, I made my case to my husband and he agreed to at least get some quotes.The first step for anyone about to undertake this type of home improvement is to figure out if this is a project you want to DIY or hire a painting contractor. I knew this answer immediately, I would be hiring this project out. After refreshing our kid’s bathroom over the summer, I swore I would never paint anything ever again. And I meant it.Finding a Painting ContractorI’ve learned over the years that the best way to find a good contractor is through referrals. When we did our kitchen remodel, I asked our good friends who they recommended since they have remodeled two homes and the husband works in construction. Their recommendation was fantastic and once again, they came through with their paint guy.All painting contractors will come and give you a free estimate. I recommend getting 3 different estimates so you can get the going rate for your area. This also gives you some leverage should you need to negotiate. Luckily for us, our friend’s recommendation was friendly, professional and his quote couldn’t be beaten.When we met, I asked about:What was the process like? How much prep was there and what did we need to do to make the exterior house painting project a success.Was capable of doing some of the additional carpentry I was looking to have done?What his timeline would be?What was included in his quote?Exterior House Paint: Before and After PhotosIt was obvious that our house hadn’t been painted in a VERY long time, plus it just didn’t reflect our style. I wanted to update not just the exterior paint color but also add some character and detail to the house without blowing our budget. The plywood siding and stucco, while boring and dated, was still in good condition so there was no sense in taking on a full siding project. Our painting contractor added some planking to give the plywood areas a board and baton look, saving us THOUSANDS of dollars.

Aye Matey!

And if you have been keeping up with my projects lately.. this is one more 'barn find' (I got 4 pieces in all, one is not yet complete.. oh who am I kidding , it's not even started LOL). Any who... Meet BOB... as in boring ole buffet. Bob was not quite as bad as Lola (Disheveled to Devine project), but he was still a disaster. Bob had gone through at least 3 color transformations: grey/white, orange (bright orange!) and teal. At some point during these transformations, they also decided that it would be a good idea to cut off the bottoms of his legs (poor Bob!). Then Bob got placed in the big ole barn, and left… in the dark corner… until I saw him. He was BIG, and heavy, and my husband complained (made up at least 3 excuses of why I should not take him home...).. and on the trailer he went (love when I win! ha!). Pay close attention on this one because there is A LOT involved in his transformation and I don't have a lot of room on HT to put it all in , so I will condense a bit. So, here we go............

How to Create a Symmetric Pattern on the Wall

When I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to decorate the nursery walls with solid colours. I was reading an article explaining newborns and infants' vision and how the contrast affects the eye and improves the brain-eye connection.It took me a while to find the perfect pattern, as I wanted it to be symmetric on the wall and aligned- without the need of too many marks on the wall
