Easy Way to Update Old Gold Door Hardware with Paint
Our house, like many old homes, has gold hardware throughout the house. Like literally everywhere in the house. Every door knob, every hinge, every strike plate… quite literally everywhere in the home. And, unfortunately, this color of door hardware really makes the space look dated. I priced out how much it would cost to change the hardware all over our home and it would be in the $1-2k range. Ouch. Unfortunately that’s just not in our budget right now. So below I have a quick but durable fix to update your door hardware from dated to modern with just a few supplies! Disclaimer: In the name of full transparency, please…

Knockoff Rustic Industrial Mirror Frame
Walk through my house and you’d probably think I know nothing about home decor. I have old brass/gold hardware throughout. Lots of builder grade boring stuff. Old, out of style tile and almond colored toilets. It’s bad sometimes my friends. But that is the beauty of DIY! I can take my time and slowly upgrade the space to be what I want. And that is just what I did when I updated this closet door to have more modern hardware (painted) and added a rustic industrial mirror frame that is a knockoff of a super expensive version for a fraction of the cost! First off, here is the $699 inspo.…

Ikea Hemnes Boho Black and Gold Daybed Hack
I love me some Ikea! Ikea furniture is always super functional and typically designed to make the most of a small space or space that serves multiple functions. Their Hemnes Daybed was the perfect solution for our guest room because it can be small, like a daybed, or pull out to a king size bed when guests are actually using the room. Plus it has storage drawers below which is always an added benefit. It looks pretty good on it’s own but my Ikea Hemnes daybed hack takes this bed to a whole other level!

Painted Tile Floor
I am always amazed at what a little paint can do to transform a space. When Cutting Edge Stencils offered to send me the stencil of my choice to try, I couldn’t wait to use one of their stencils for this painted tile floor! But I had such a hard time choosing the stencil pattern as there are SO many great options. I took a poll on my Instagram account and the metro hex stencil won! It’s such a beautiful pattern and looks really great and modern so it was perfect for this small space. Disclaimer: In the name of full transparency, please be aware that this blog post may…
