Painted Bathroom Vanity
Updating not so pretty bathroom cabinetry with paint: good. Throwing out completely working furniture and cabinetry because it isn’t exactly what you want: not so good. Paint is seriously transformative. That and a little new hardware and I promise you will hardly recognize your old bathroom vanity. Plus it is super easy and very cost effective! I’ll tell you exactly how I painted this bathroom vanity to get a smooth and beautiful finish.

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…

Faux Beam Fireplace Mantle
Do you have that space in your home that is a little blah but technically OK? Like the space is functional but just not what you want? And you kind of have to give yourself permission to change it up? That’s how I felt about this fireplace located in my living room, lovingly called the “sitting and talking room” by my children. Enter the faux beam fireplace mantle! Read on to see how easy it is to create one of your own. The fireplace overall wasn’t bad but it was relatively bland.

Deck Refresh
Are you thinking about refreshing your deck this summer before the warm weather gets away from you? I drug my feet on getting this project started…but our deck was in desperate need of an update so we recently buckled down and got it done. It had been painted around the time that we purchased the house four years ago. Since then it has slowly become weathered and chipped and very dingy looking. Below I’ll walk you through the process of our easy DIY deck refresh.

DIY Easy Oversized Outdoor Adirondack Chair

You’re welcome. So, complete disclosure here…these chairs are not a product of my creative genius. They are a gorgeous project that I found on pinterest and one that comes with a full step by step tutorial! I mean, does it…
