This project has been a long time in the making!

My husband is a filmmaker and his movie collection certainly is quite vast as a result of his love for film. We have had a wall full of movies for years and have always talked about tucking it behind some curtains for a less cluttered look, and we finally made it happen! This is an easy and fun way to conceal a projecting shelving unit that is covered in madness. With a long pair of curtains and some copper piping and hardware, you can cover just about any cluttered spot in the house!

Brick fireplace makeover

with stained wood.

Just moved in and this above was just not going to work. If you look close it has cracks in it repaired half a**ed. It’s the focal point in the room. We were getting new carpets so, I decided to tackle the FP before they were installed.

I had a boring old plain Jane beige 80’s bathroom.

I desperately wanted to do something but had never done anything other than paint a wall.
I had to look up on youtube how to put a drill bit into a drill. So many lessons I learned in doing this. Trust me when I say nothing went right the first time. This site and all blog DIYer’s sites provided me with the courage to give it a go..
I have now tackled the entire house..Yikes!
The different things I did.
The miracle of paint. I painted the entire tub area, the floor, cabinets. Textured my walls with drywall mud, made a concrete counter top and replaced all faucets and made a mirror mosaic on the existing plate glass mirror.

I got tired

of the all white stove.

We will be redoing our kitchen in a farmhouse vintage theme.
