Powder Room Remodel: Repairing Wall and Hanging Wallpaper

May 14, 2013

Between baseball, a birthday party, and celebrating Mother's Day (shout out to all the moms out there - hope you had a great day), there was very little time to actually get anything major accomplished on the DIY homefront this weekend. BUT, somehow with 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there, I was able to squeeze in a few trips to Lowe's (for supplies) and a few moments to hang wallpaper. And thankfully with those spare moments, I actually got alot done and I feel like I'm making progress - even though it's slow. Since announcing the plans for the powder room and sharing details on … [Read more...]

Powder Room Remodel – Phase 1: Removing the Existing Toilet and Pedestal Sink

April 29, 2013

My feet are sore and my fingers have a few blisters, but it's well worth the pain for how much work around the house was accomplished this past weekend. It was the first days of really nice weather and aside from a baseball game and a birthday celebration, much of the weekend was spent cleaning out the garage, sprucing up the exterior, and starting the powder room remodel. I shared details of my plans for the powder room a few weeks ago and was thrilled to finally get started. To begin the process the old had to come out before the new goes in, so the Mister and I got our tools out and … [Read more...]

17 Stunning DIY Light Fixtures

April 24, 2013

Lighting fixtures are one of my favorite ways to personalize and change the look of a room. A dynamic and unique hanging pendant, wall sconce, or lamp can give the awe-factor to any space. Throw in some DIY goodness and a fun focal point can be admired and enjoyed everytime you walk in a space. I was thrilled when Miriam of Hometalk reached out to me to curate a collection of DIY lighting fixtures. I hurriedly scoured the site for some cool creations and was amazed by what I saw. Don't know Hometalk? You're missing out. It's a neat and creative social media site where homeowners, … [Read more...]

DIY: Stenciled Shower Curtain using Drop Cloth

April 16, 2013

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far. Now that I'm coming off my amazing moment high and getting back into my DIY groove, I'm excited to show you the new stenciled shower curtain panel that I recently made for the kids bathroom. You may have seen a sneak peak of the shower curtain a few weeks ago when I shared some Spring updates. A few of you even commented saying you loved the color choice (I do too). It's bright. It's bold. It's an eye-catcher... ...And I made it myself. It was super easy, inexpensive, and something you can absolutely do too! The … [Read more...]

Getting Organized with ClosetMaid Closet Solutions + Giveaway

April 10, 2013

Need inexpensive closet storage solution? Check out the new organizer line by ClosetMaid exclusively at Target

Organization is the bane of my existence. I love order. I love neatness. But often behind-the-scenes (a.k.a. inside the closets), order & neatness are not typical. Somehow with 2 kids, a busy husband, a cat, and an active work schedule, things pile up and all of a sudden before I know it, I'm overwhelmed with stuff. I try to be conscious of only keeping what's essential, but it's often easier said than done. In the midst of my Spring cleaning frenzy - out with the old, ClosetMaid reached out to me with an exciting new product coming out called Closet Solutions which hit … [Read more...]

Bathroom Sink Faucet Upgrade with Moen

April 4, 2013

Before and After Bathroom Faucet Upgrade with Moen by @Jenna_Burger, SASinteriors.net

This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. As you saw last week, we've been busy sprucing up the bathrooms for Spring. A few small touches truly make the world of difference. Last week was decor, this week it's the faucet in the master bath. The space got a DIY makeover last year, but at the time being on a tight budget, the existing faucet remained. It was fine and functional, but the style was dated and original to the house. With the BHG crew coming next week (yes, next week, can you believe it?), I thought a little upgrade was due. So... the … [Read more...]

Powder Room Remodel: The Plan of Action

March 27, 2013

Happy Hump Day, y'all! You may have noticed a lack of DIY creations around here lately. To be honest, I have been knee deep in so many other projects that my personal projects have had to take a back burner. From E-Design clients, to local clients, to getting the house ready for the BHG crew to come soon, I have been non-stop on the go. Plus I was away last week on a little vacay, so getting back into the groove of things has been a bit rough. ANYWAY, enough of the chit-chat, I am psyched to share with you that I have decided to spice-up one of my bathrooms. The powder room to be … [Read more...]

DIY: Modern to Industrial-Style Coffee Table

March 7, 2013

Since the home office / family room reveal, I've shared quite a few of the DIY projects that went into creating the room. One in particular that I've been excited to share because it is an upcycled piece is the coffee table. When initially thinking about the aesthetic for the room, I wanted to bring in some darker tones. The walls are darker and rich, while all the white elements make a great layered contrast, but some texture, wood, and something deeper was still needed. At the same time, I'm a big fan of industrial-style furniture and have always adored the varying patterns and … [Read more...]

How-To Make a GIANT Inspiration Board

February 26, 2013

HUGE, Giant Inspiration Board created by @Jenna_Burger, sasinteriors.net

Pinterest is a favorite for many (including me) who want to organize and keep their online inspiration in one place. As a visual person though, I feel there is nothing like seeing and holding a picture in hand. I still buy and subscribe to magazines. I still tear out pictures and reference them when looking for inspiration. Until recently, I didn't have a "place", a specific go-to spot, for all my collected loves. I needed something! Thus the creation of my mega, giant, humongous, and amazing inspiration board... I am in heaven. This newly created inspiration board is not … [Read more...]

DIY: How-To Hem (no sew) and Add Stripes to Curtains Using Paint

February 19, 2013

I hope you had a great weekend! I know it's Tuesday, but since my husband and kids had off yesterday for President's Day, it feels like the first day of the week for me. In spite of having a no-plan weekend, the 3 days flew by and we were majorly busy (new projects, photographing others, food shopping, car buying, etc.). How does 36 hours fly by that fast? Anyway, since showing you my newly created home office / family room last week, I've got a slew of DIY projects to share. First up... A 'how-to' on how I hemmed and created the thin-striped curtain panels (I know a few of you … [Read more...]
