Last week I shared our finished bathroom. The goal of this post is to get all the sources, links and tutorials into a single location. If I missed something you are interested in, let me know! Wall Color – Delicate White by Porter Paint in Hi-Hide Interior Latex Marble Vanity Top – Honed Carrara …

One of my favorite details in our bathroom is the wood towel hooks. I purchased these wood dowels over a year ago at the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace in Indianapolis. However, you could purchase similar wood dowels like this to create your own towel hooks. You’ll need a dowel screw like one of these …
Yes, it’s been over six months since we shared the plan. Truthfully, much of it has been done for a while and it was just a few details that still needed to be wrapped up. We’ve been using the space, and loving it, for several months. I’ve got some more to share with you about …
Flanking each side of our dining room buffet are upholstered linen chairs. I had a pillow on each one; but they felt too big for the depth of the chair. Pillows still aren’t out of the question; but I’d have to find some small ones. In either case, I thought something draped over the chair …
We’ve got a small window in our bathroom. I love the light it provides; but I’ve been kind of puzzled as to how to finish it off. It seems silly to cover much of it {due to the light} and it doesn’t need to be functional since the glass is frosted. While shopping at …
We moved our buffet {formerly used as a TV Stand} into the dining room last week. Since we’ve moved in to this home, I haven’t really had a surface to style and decorate with pretty things. So as soon as we got the walls painted, I was ready to bring together a mix of pieces …
We had several goals when we started working on the bathroom renovation… increase from one to two sinks, get rid of the wallpaper and replace the peeling linoleum floors… to name a few. However, there is another goal that is always on my “to do” list and that is to increase storage. In the end, …
A couple weeks ago our tile was installed, and now we’ve got the next big piece in place… our vanity top. I’m so pleased with it. The grey veining is beautiful. Picking out our vanity top was not easy. Carrara marble is what I had in mind from the beginning; but the initial prices that …
How was your weekend? I love the small projects Erica shares each Friday and this weekend project was just like many of those… simple, colorful and a great use of items I had on hand. If you’ve been around for awhile you know that Mike and I are in the middle of renovating our bathroom. …
Last weekend we were in Louisville visiting my parents. It was a fun weekend from a DIY standpoint. On Saturday, I helped my mom prime and paint some furniture for her house. One of the pieces was an old desk but the other two were recent thrift purchases. While the primer was drying, Mike and …
Hello, new tile floor. To call this an improvement is an understatement. You might remember from the original plan that we were considering installing the tile ourselves. However, as we got into the project several things changed our minds: It took 4 days to remove the wallpaper {spread out over a few weeks as we …
Removing wallpaper is not the most inspiring or creative endeavor… so yesterday, even though there is more work to be done in the bathroom I took a break to paint this mirror and make it pretty. I picked up this mirror for $6 at a Yard Sale. It needed a coat of paint; but I …
After completing my DIY runner, I decided to try some of the fishing line on another rug project. It might not be easy to see, but the rug was unraveling in several spots. This wasn’t an expensive rug originally, maybe $10. It was purchased at Home Goods and sat under a chair in the sunroom …
Even though we’ve been stripping wallpaper in the bathroom; the kitchen has been on my mind lately since I’ve set up a little coffee bar. Here is the current state of the space… plaid wallpaper, patterned paper and fruit wall border — all of which will need to go. We plan to paint the kitchen …
Our new hometown is 30 minutes from a Starbucks. This is good for my wallet… but sad for my love of Iced Mochas. Luckily, we have a great local coffee shop about 20 minutes up the interstate — but I still only get there maybe once a week. My thoughtful husband bought me a Keurig …
