Today I’m showing you how we rejuvenated the hardwoods in our daughter’s room in just two days and for free, using leftover project paint we found in our basement!

Hello friends! I’m back! Now that February is here, I’m refreshed and ready to show you more easy DIY home projects that will increase your home’s function, style, and value!
To begin this new year of home projects, I’m starting with the first room I should be focused on: Our daughter’s bedroom.

The holiday season is officially upon us and I’m fully decking the halls. My first project of the season has been spreading the Christmas (and generic Winter!) cheer to my neighbors. I achieved Neighborhood Elf Status by decorating our front porch. Today, I’m showing you how to decorate a historic home’s facade for Winter with my Tennessee Christmas theme. It’s really log cabin decor but since I’m a Tennessee gal, humor me. I’ve also joined a group of fantastic bloggers to show off their porch and outdoor holiday decor.
Our small home doesn’t have much storage space but I’ve managed to turn a tiny room (just 35 square feet!) into the organized craft room of my dreams with smart storage for my paint, paper, and craft tools. Using a cheap shelving unit and colorful decor, I now have a room to keep all my craft projects corralled. Here’s how I turned a small room with limited floor space into a Crafting Workspace and Storage Room that functions well and looks beautiful …
Now that we’ve settled into our new house and most of the moving boxes have been unpacked, I’m getting the itch to decorate all the spaces. Unfortunately, we’re lacking two of the main requirements for a full-scale home redesign: time and money. But that’s okay because I brainstormed and developed a plan to decorate and organize the dining room / entryway with a very affordable budget. How’d I do it? DIY, of course. Here’s what I did …
Our downsizing dreams have finally come to fruition! Last month, I moved our family into a new home! Today, I’m showing you around the new digs. Here’s the full tour of our 1920s bungalow in all her uncluttered glory! …
Don’t you hate it when a blogger is like “This space was SO BAD before” but really it just wasn’t styled? Well, don’t you worry! I’m here to tell you that this patio was legitimately awful before. And we lived with it for two years! Why? Because we had no idea how easily we could update it. facepalm
Here’s the BEFORE …
It’s been two years since we moved into our suburban home and (since we’re selling) we’ve done a little makeover to update our kitchen. With a small budget, we managed to give our kitchen an entirely new look.
But first, let’s take a look back at where we started …
Our suburban home’s remodel is complete and now it’s time to list it! Before we start accepting potential buyers into our houses, there are five things I always want to make sure I do. These are techniques I’ve used over the past decade to make sure my homes – the ones I’m actually living in – hit the real estate market with gusto and sell within a few days. Today, I’m sharing those techniques with you so you can implement them in your own homes. Don’t worry. You don’t have to completely redecorate to make your home appealing to buyers.
