Nice enough wall, but starting to feel insipid to me. And this one, well, sad and pale. Time to give them a punch in the gut. But how do you do that? you ask. Taking a inspirational cue from this blogger’s post Making Progress (about his fabulous dining room), I saw black as my answer. To make… Continue reading Does This Wall Make Me Look Fat?
My token Christmas post is done. The thing is, I don’t think I’ll be showing you anything you haven’t already seen out there already. However, it’s my take on it, in my eclectic tightwad way. DISCLAIMER: In my last post I stated that the 3M product that I purchased from the Home Depot I used… Continue reading Merry Christmas, Dawg!
Is this not one of the coolest art installations ever?? I saw this in a coffee shop months ago and just had to take a picture. I stored the idea in my little brain and thought about it now and then and how I could do the same thing on a smaller scale in my… Continue reading Did Somebody say CAKE??
Before we venture any further into this post, I want to say although I would LOVE to claim this idea, I cannot. I was scrolling through Pinterest (as usual) looking for the coffee table idea to replace that lovely but easily sullied ottoman (yes, I realize I just posted a project on it –… Continue reading Copy Cat Carrera
Ta Da! Check out the new drapes. “What’s so special about these drapes?” you ask. Well, I’ll tell you. If you venture on Pinterest at all, you will have seen countless examples of paint drop cloths transformed into art. I tried to do that. The Pinterest inspiration for me was the pink fork and knife… Continue reading Drop the Cloth and Back Away…
There it is – The second of the two traditional ceiling light fixtures transformed! Jogging your memory for you: Lovely if you like traditional. Not so much if you don’t. One day, perusing through Pinterest as I tend to do far, far too often, I came across a blogger who made her rental unit more… Continue reading Et de Deux – Light Fixture Change-Up
Well, if it isn’t, it should be. Look up, waaay up, and you’ll see my industrial addition. It started out like this: Very traditional. Nice, but not my style. Came with the house. Still confused about that since the previous owners didn’t really have any other finishes in the traditional style. Interesting. Hemmed and… Continue reading Mid Century-Eclectic-Industrial. Is that a category?
Check out my lamps! Here’s a shot of the lamps before – formerly of the living room, moved in their green state to reside in the bedroom. I bought three packets of rope from the Home Depot, each 50 feet long, $7.98 each. At first I thought one package would do it, 50′… Continue reading The long and winding ROPE
I almost did this post without any words, just a photo progression of step one to the finished product, but I just couldn’t do it. With the pics, I could leave you thinking how genius I am and how my project went off without a hitch. HA! By now you know that’s not what happened. I’m… Continue reading Blinged-up Bar Stools
See what I did there? TIME…CLOCK, well you get it. Here’s the Before wall, Chartreuse green with a series of international times on the clocks: And how I got to the After: First I painted the wall Peppertree by ICI, Dulux or Glidden; it’s all the same company, or you can use Piedmont Grey… Continue reading Hit me baby one more TIME…
