DIY Home Projects

Oh gosh! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been busy with every day life events and haven’t found much time for projects or blogging. So sorry! I’m still slaving away in my bedroom. I have a little sneak peak of my faux brick wall for you! Its a little teeny portion of the wall… I don’t want to spoil the reveal ;) I promise to share my tips and tricks with you as soon as its finished! I was inspired by Brooke’s faux brick wall and I’m using her tips, just adding a little as a I go.

I was out and about shopping the other day and I found these awesome moss balls at Rod Works, love them! They add a perfect splash of green to my media center.

Refinshed Coffee Table

Alright guys my $30 coffee table took me FOREVER to finish, phew sorry about that. I had a “vision” and I ignored it…. BIG mistake. My vision was the stained top table but I painted the entire thing white and I hated it! I had to sand all of the white paint off and stain the top but it was so worth it!

After I finished sanding the top the little nobs turned more silver colored. It added a little industrial feel that I really liked so I added the industrial wheels to match and to add height.

I’m getting major spring fever so I figured it’s time to use some fresh decor. I found these metal floral prints at Rod Works and couldn’t resist. They are really meant for my bedroom but I’m using them here for now.

I switched out my stenciled curtains for the white curtains I had in my bedroom. They lightened up the room and gave it a fresh new look.

Do ya wanna see what my living room look liked when we first moved in? It was about 3 years ago…. for the LOVE of brown lol ;)

:: then ::

:: now ::

Ahhhh much better! Our new paint color changed the entire feel of our home and its exactly what I was going for!

So have you started switching things up and adding in your spring decor?

Jacobean Pillows

I have been on a wild goose hunt searching for a knock of fabric to use in my bedroom. Well… I’m sick of searching! I caved and bought two of these awesome Jacobean pillows and I’m in LOVE! I can’t wait for them to get here!

{}

I paid $45 a piece for my Jacobean pillows. The Shumacher Pillows (below) are between $70 – $90 a piece. The Jacobean’s are more on the bold side but I think they are close enough dontcha think?

What do ya think? Would you have paid the extra and gone with the Shumacher print?
