Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself to the wonderful Hometalk Community!
My name is Hillela and I live with my husband, Noah. Our last name is the German word for patience, which comes in handy with lots of our projects!icon
I love challenging myself just beyond my comfort zone. Sometimes I'm successful and other times I end up with a good laugh.
I really owe my DIY confidence to my fellow Hometalkers, I'm inspired by you all every day! Without you, I never would have had the confidence to make my (rental) home my own.
My biggest recent project -is that I painted most of the rooms ( with the landlord's blessing) of my apartment. Now each room has its own personality and cozy touch.
Thanks for sharing your creativity with me!!icon

    Hello and welcome! I found Hometalk by accident and stayed! Love nautical and your bathroom is adorable. I especially love the sailboat tiles! You did a great job keeping it seaworthy. Have a great time on here!
    • Hillela G. Hillela G. on Jan 05, 2017
      Hi Marianne, thank you! I found the sailboat stencil first, and then it took on a life of its own from there...

    Happy 2017 Gedulds!!!
    Hillela, you and your hubs are so happy together! Did he give you any help with the paint (taping, etc), and I'm guessing the tiles were your inspiration? ⛵️
    • Hillela G. Hillela G. on Jan 05, 2017
      Thank you Melissa, he certainly did help, the taping was a 4 hands kind of job
