DIY: Vertical Pallet Garden

April 22, 2013

The warmer weather has got me movin' and groovin' outdoors. This past weekend I got my DIY mojo on for this months Lowe's challenge and created (what I think) is something pretty cool. Check out my newly created Vertical Pallet Garden using colorful pots... Though the flowers are finally starting to peak through around the yard, I was in need of color NOW to start decorating my front porch for Spring. I, of course, hit up my local Lowe's garden center to get my color fix. It's still the early days of Spring, so the selection (at my local Lowe's in NY) was limited, but I was able … [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...]

Love ‘Connection’ Wood Sign #LowesCreator

January 28, 2013

Love Connection Wood Sign by @Jenna_Burger, www.sasinteriors.net - Lowe's Creative Ideas #LowesCreator

You might think this is the lamest/dorkiest project ever or you might think "WOW, she's super creative". Either way, once again Lowe's has put my creative, think-outside-the-box skills to the test. Similar to New Years, I'm not a big Valentine decorating. Yes, you've seen my valentine burlap wreath with felt flowers AND the wreath I created with paint chips, but honestly I'd rather put my efforts towards making more permanent upgrades around the home. Anyway, this month's Lowe's Challenge was to create something cute for V-day. Home improvement store (Lowe's) + Cute & Sweet … [Read more...]

A Quick and Easy Fix For Unaligned Bookshelves (and Furniture)

January 24, 2013

Have an unaligned bookcase or piece of furniture? There's a quick and easy fix!

I hope you're having a wonderful week! The BIG Room Makeover Giveaway has been huge. I hope you've had the chance to enter. Can you imagine winning over $1500 in prizes to redecorate an enter room? - how exciting! So this post is not a specific DIY-follow-along-with-every-step kinda post, but instead it's more of I-hope-I-can-inspire-you-to-think-outside-the-box type. Basically, you're not going to have the same shelving or the same scenario as I, but hopefully with my show-and-tell you'll be "pushed" (in a nice way of course) to fix something that's been buggin' you or somehow have … [Read more...]

November 25, 2012

DIY: Easy-to-create Christmas Card Holder with 6' piece of wood and clothes pins by @Jenna_Burger via sasinteriors.net #LowesCreator #LowesCreativeIdea

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and stuffed your tummies full of turkey and mashed potatoes (with butter of course) - my personal favorite. We traveled and enjoyed the Holiday very much, but the only bummer about not hosting was the lack of leftovers. Anyway, let's get on to something fun... I'm super excited for today because I have so much to share with you! I've been busy preparing for the Christmas season (yes, already - I know for some it's early), but wanted to let Thanksgiving pass before bombarding you with all my Christmas inspiration.

Stick Star Door Decor

November 14, 2012

Last week I was vying to create something for my front door to transition the time between now and Christmas. I've had my Fall wreath up for a while and I was ready for a lil' change. Then while driving over the weekend, I spotted a large wood star on an old, distressed barn. It got me thinking and inspired my latest creation... a Stick Star which I'm now donning on my apple green front door. In the front of my home is a 20'+ weeping willow tree and it's beautiful in the summer, but this time of year with all the wind, the soft, thin branches often easily break off leaving lots … [Read more...]

DIY: Pallet Picture Holder

November 6, 2012

Just last week I finished up a really cute project for a client (which I was super close to keeping, but she was glad I didn't) and I'm excited to share it with you today! I've been making my way through the huge stash of pallets that I've had stored in the garage for quite some time. Pallets are great for projects like this when you're looking for a distressed, worn result and want to spend little (or no) money. Most pallets, a.k.a. shipping crates, have already been used-and-abused, so they are easy to dismantle and start upcycling. When finishing up the final details on this clients … [Read more...]

Garage Entry: Kids Art Display

October 31, 2012

Jazz up a Garage Entry door with paint to create a command center and spot to display kids art work via sasinteriors.net

Many of us have a door in our home that leads to the garage. It's a metal door and so it's magnetized, leaving the perfect opportunity to jazz it up, bring color into the room, and display kids artwork, coupons, or much more. I'm always looking for new nooks and crannies to organize and make life easier! The entrance door to the garage is a perfect spot because it's the way many of us enter and exit our homes. As I mentioned (and gave you a sneak peak on) the other day when sharing my new foyer floor, our foyer space is not only the entrance area, but also the spot where the powder … [Read more...]
