Your environment is as important as you are, so let’s find a way to incorporate more of what is specific to your taste and preference and less of everything else. We often find that store-purchased products are lookalikes to each other and we want to build something unique. Hence, the power of a DIY creation – it has all the best colors, features, textures and it cannot be repeated, even when it’s produced in the exact same way for a second time.
We share little shots of gratitude, awe, and inspiration in this category! There is so much you can do that is cheap, effective and adventurous. Most of the ideas we share are easily achievable on a budget, make us of things you already have lying around in cabinets and drawers. Grab your brushes, scissors, the old buttons from that winter coat and a cup of coffee – we have a lot to share!
When we first moved into our home
3 years ago there was no focal point to our long narrow bowling alley of a living room. I was longing for a place to hang stockings and display art so I decided to build my own faux fireplace, here’s how……
“Before” The space between the French doors and hallway entrance seemed like a natural spot for a fireplace.
I had this fan. It lasted only a couple of
years until the motor burned out. Now it’s trash. Bummer. When it squealed, we thought maybe dust? It was clean. Maybe oil? So we oiled it up. It lasted one more night. The squealing started again and it smelled like it would be trouble. I had a floor model that behaved similar and it blew up with sparks in front of me. So, we weren’t taking chances with this one. Goodbye favorite fan.
I’m sure by now most of you have seen
at least one item in a store that appears to have been dipped in paint. I know I’ve been seeing dip dyed wicker baskets in several places and I just had to have one so I figured I’d try the technique with a handful of items to see how they turned out. I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome of all five items I tried this technique on!
After browsing Pinterest for awhile one day,
I came across this video on how to make a concrete stool for only $5. Say what?! So, I attempted it myself. We didn’t need a stool, but we needed a cute plant stand on our porch. I was skeptical of how well it would actually work, but I was incredibly thrilled with how it came out!!
Every year, hubby Greg and I do at least one
bigger project around the house. Last year it was a much needed air conditioning unit. This year we decided it was time to upgrade our 80’s powder room. I like to do things a little differently, so… Here’s what we decided to do.
